Connecting Systems at Scale and Unlocking Actionable Data Insights

In today’s digital era, organizations and their people, business processes, devices, and nearly anything imaginable are generating incredible amounts of data every day. Currently, many organizations make use of data from multiple, disconnected sources, which makes analysis complex and disruptive. This creates significant barriers to effective strategizing and business decision making. If the correct data is effectively harmonized and processed, it can help your organization better understand and improve business processes, identify new opportunities, predict market trends, and gain a competitive advantage.

Cultivating data is not an issue for businesses today, but not being able to unlock actionable insights and processes from this data is inhibiting your business’s ability to keep pace in today’s hyperconnected world.

Only 32% of business executives surveyed said that they’re able to create measurable value from data, while just 27% said their data and analytics projects produce actionable insights.¹

In response to such challenging situations, business environments must be always connected and contextual to help maximize the effectiveness of business decision making and drive business outcomes.

Why data insights are not enough for today’s economy

As a business and technical decision maker, you’re looking to accelerate your business goals, but you may often be hindered by incomplete, obsolete information that does not capture a full picture of your organization. Simply accessing data isn’t enough. You need actionable insights – direct, meaningful actions you can take based on analysis of the raw data – and getting actionable insights from data segregated in countless systems is daunting.

No matter whether data is structured or unstructured, located on-premises or in the cloud, connecting data is the first step towards enabling data-driven business decisions. But legacy data integration technologies that rely on nightly batch data movements no longer suffice. Data volumes have skyrocketed, and you cannot make decisions based on yesterday’s information.

To integrate data spanning different enterprise applications, connect sensor data from the internet of things (IoT), and factor in information streams from social media, you need a comprehensive solution that ensures data is connected continuously, promptly, and securely.
