Businesses are challenged in their efforts to put data to work. The growth in data sprawl and volume, diverse ecosystems, and varied existing management systems hinder optimal data usage. Research shows that up to 68% of data is not analyzed in most organizations and up to 82% of enterprises are inhibited by data silos.

To become fully data-driven requires enterprises to utilize an integrated data strategy and architecture, also known as a data fabric, that overcomes data complexity challenges and accelerates innovation, creates a trusted data foundation to automate the enforcement of data protection policies, and unifies tools process and talent to build and automate trustworthy AI models at scale. Businesses should think through their data foundation and strategy and evaluate how a data fabric architecture can help them get the right data, to the right people, at the right time.
