Managing Personal Data on Solid is Better
How many times have you changed your address, your bank account, or anything else integral to your day to day life? Chances are you had to go through the arduous process of updating your data for every service that uses it.
We need to do this because technology today is siloed. Every organization has their own copy of the same data. But, Solid is designed to de-silo data. Imagine updating your data in one place – your Solid Personal Online Datastore (Pod) – and having it available everywhere because every organization that uses that data is reading it from your Pod, not their own database.
This future is good for the individual, but even better for the organizations they deal with. Reading from the single source of truth for personal data means that organizations always have the most up to date information on a person.
Solid can go beyond simply updating addresses. You can have a single source of truth for any kind of personal information. For example, if one app gets to know your music preferences, you can share that with any other app that might benefit from that knowledge.
If your organization wants to orient itself around a single source of truth for personal information, O.team can help.
