Organisations are gathering more data than ever
This explosion of big data and analytics techniques creates new opportunities for businesses to unlock major improvements in performance and growth. Yet one of the main obstacles to capitalising on this is that data often reside in disconnected silos. Without easily accessible data businesses can miss important insights - hindering productivity, efficiency and agility, and undermining competitive advantage.
But now is an opportunity to modernise and improve data strategies
Although data silos are often seen as inevitable, its related problems can be overcome by connecting disparate data. Whether this is done through centralised or distributed data governance, firms can tap information in ways that are more precise, deliver greater value, facilitate seamless customer journeys and mitigate risks in a rapidly changing business landscape.
