Even in today’s digital-run world, nearly half of organizations, 44%, still depend on manual processes to manage their data. A survey of small to mid-sized businesses found that even more, 45%, continue to use manual processes such as paper records for customers, contacts and vendor data, and 11% have no system for managing documents. Data is a critical asset, which means securing its long-term management is essential for future success.
Reliance on manual or outdated methods can lead to inefficiencies, errors and missed opportunities. Compounding the issue is the rise of technologies like AI, ML and cloud-based solutions that require clean, usable data. Today, data management strategies must evolve to keep businesses competitive and compliant.
To navigate these challenges and position your organization for future success, consider the following strategic steps:
- Unify Your Data
Begin by seamlessly collecting data from diverse sources, such as structured databases, unstructured streams, customer interactions, transactions, metadata and social media feeds. Modern data platforms are designed to capture and consolidate data comprehensively, providing a unified view that enhances decision-making.
- Deploy Scalable, Secure Storage
Data storage serves as the backbone of any modern platform. Partnering with storage experts ensures scalability and security in your storage solutions, allowing your platform to grow with increasing data volumes. This architecture guarantees data integrity and accessibility while adhering to the highest security standards.
- Implement Real-Time Data Processing
Real-time data processing is non-negotiable. Implementing platforms that process data as it arrives enables instant insights and faster decision-making. Empower your organization to seize opportunities as they unfold from stream processing to complex event processing.
- Extract Data Intelligence
The ultimate goal is to turn raw data into actual insights. Modern data platforms with advanced analytics and machine learning capabilities allow you to uncover patterns, predict trends and derive intelligence that propels your business forward.
- Ensure Data Integrity and Compliance
You must be able to trust your data. Incorporating robust data governance and quality assurance measures, from metadata management to compliance monitoring, ensures your data is abundant and reliable, providing a solid foundation for decision-making.
