Data is the lifeblood of organizations. But while it is used intensely, and grows more dramatically every year, at substantial cost for storage and processing, few organizations take an asset-based, comprehensive approach to it. It drives too much cost because of ungoverned redundant proliferation, is poorly synchronized across applications creating accuracy and timeliness issues, often lacks comprehensive availability policies that span all important data instead of specific files, databases or application products, and consumes far too much time and too many skills due to the lack of a designed, policy-driven approach to its management.
Effective data integration strategies can help companies reduce information-related costs, manage a variety of data risks, and improve business agility. Read this paper to learn more.
