IDC defines digital transformation (DX) as a set of practices that leverage new business, technology, and operating models to disrupt rivals and markets in pursuit of business performance and growth. Successful DX relies on converting data into actionable insights, and this reliance on data is contributing to a new era of the data age.
IDC forecasts that by 2025 the global “datasphere” will grow to 163 zettabytes (that’s one trillion gigabytes). All this data will unlock unique user experiences and a new world of opportunities.
Organizations that embrace data-driven DX are servicing consumers better, solving problems faster and finding new insights, we refer to these as ‘Data Thrivers’.
Successful businesses recognize the importance of Data and Digital Transformation.
Their IT leaders must meet the challenges of building a data-centric organization with limited time, skills, and budget while managing data that is increasingly distributed, dynamic, and diverse.
For many organizations, the rush to the cloud has resulted in data silos that make it impossible to fully leverage and control data.
