Data Solutions for Modern Business
Modern business is relying on ever more information to efficiently market, design and manufacture products, improve operations, boost revenue and manage inventory to hold the cost line. The data must be easily accessible by all employees and must be accurate, reliable and secure.
To meet these requirements, businesses require a complete solution that includes the tools and technologies necessary to manage each stage of the lifecycle of data, including gathering, storing and processing. A comprehensive data solution must include data governance, business analytics, and a data catalogue.
When it is about storing and collecting data, businesses need to ensure that it has the capacity to increase or decrease its capacity to meet the demands. This means choosing the appropriate database to store data and the tools that move the data into and out of it. It is also crucial to eliminate unnecessary siloed data to reduce the size of operational databases.
Data infrastructure is the term used to describe the tools used to gather and store data. It consists of software for storing, managing and transform data for analysis and reporting. This layer also includes systems that create visual representations of data to make them more accessible to analytics and business intelligence tools. This layer can be further divided into two parts which are data modeling and warehouse management.
