Data Protection Considerations for Multi-Cloud Environments

The cloud is changing the way we use data and at the same time, the way we use data is changing the cloud. Organizations are adopting multiple cloud data platforms to maximize data’s value, but in doing so are often increasing complexity for data engineering and DataOps teams that may stifle the very reason for investing in those platforms.

Today’s data-savvy companies actively seek ways to enhance their approach to analytics and evolve out of the past. While the first wave of BI involved static, rigid, IT-owned systems, and the second expanded the capabilities to a more business-facing analyst set, the third wave aims to infuse analytical activity into multiple layers of non-technical business roles. As a key strategy to enable this third wave, companies today are exploring an embedded approach that places analytical activity directly in the context of everyday user applications, and the independent software vendors (ISVs) and enterprises providing those applications have taken notice of this trend. Done efficiently, embedded analytics promotes faster deployment and pervasive usage of analytics for end-users while delivering a competitive advantage and the opportunity for new revenue streams for software vendors and enterprises.

The world of data and analytics is evolving faster than ever before. Those that stay ahead of this change will be able to navigate the challenging economy and dominate the decade of data. Data is driving tectonic shifts across our personal and professional lives, creating new opportunities for organizations - and new challenges. But which trends are truly transformative and which will fail to live up to the hype?

The events of the past year have changed the way we think about digital experience, and organizations that are serious and strategic about digital transformation are leaping ahead of the rest.
