Solving critical data challenges with the industry's first AI-powered data management platform

Data is the soul of digital transformation, with 80% of transformation initiatives destined to fail without a scalable data and analytics strategy.

But embarking on an integrated digital and data journey is not without challenges. As organisations move forward with plans to modernise legacy or on-premises platforms, many have told us that they:

·??????spend too much time on data preparation

·??????struggle with data quality issues

·??????find it difficult to retain skilled staff

Long term cost factors are also an issue. Even though the speed to ROI from migrating legacy applications to the cloud is proven, finding a sweet spot between OPEX and CAPEX costings at scale can be trickier.

This is a primary driver for embracing hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, which enable an architecture that can deliver the best of all worlds. In fact, industry trends show that 90% of enterprises will use multiple cloud service providers by 2022.

While some leaders may have had reservations about their employees’ willingness to change, we’re increasingly finding the opposite to be true. For example, business units excited by the capabilities of new cloud systems are spinning off their own environments and attempting to manage infrastructure on their own. Though their motivation is to get to market faster, this has created concerns about managing data quality and governance across the enterprise.

The same can be said for self-service, where non-technical business users are crying out for intelligent architectures that empower their curiosity and enable rapid data-driven decision making.

As organisations attempt to tackle these challenges, and plan for the need to manage increasing availability of data at scale, it has become ultra-clear that automation and artificial intelligence will be the keys to success.

As a recent report from global research firm Forrester stated:

“Automation is a critical last-mile enabler supporting transformation at multiple levels: tasks, processes, entire functions, and even the business model itself.”

Automation, AI and machine learning allow us to augment human brilliance with technological capabilities, in a world where there are simply too many data objects and pipelines to manage than there are skilled data professionals available.
