End Your Data Struggle: How to Seamlessly Analyze Disparate Data

Many organizations today are struggling to get value from their data and advanced analytics initiatives. The struggle begins with data diversity, as organizations are trying to support new apps, customer channels, sensors, and social media outlets. Each source may have its own data structure, quality, and container (in the form of files, documents, messages). The struggle is exacerbated by the exploding volume of data that must be captured, processed, stored, and delivered to the right users in a state that is fit for their own individual needs.

But data volumes and systems complexity has been increasing for years and most organizations rarely prioritize data governance, so why care now? We’re at the brink of a perfect storm of unprecedented IT megatrends. The convergence of Cloud, Social, Mobile and Big Data foreshadows the upcoming tsunami of data ripe with potential business value. But it will also make the frustrating complexity of your traditional on-premises transactional data management challenges appear amazingly “manageable” in contrast.
