Data Fabric

Data fabric is a strategy used by organizations to make scattered data digestible by turning it into knowledge and insights. With the overwhelming amount of data available to organizations today, having this information easier to understand and use allows organizations to provide more positive experiences for customers and employees. As a result, businesses can drive actual business outcomes and make a bigger impact on the bottom line.

Deploying a data fabric allows organizations to close the gap between available data points and accessible information. This approach empowers organizations to build more personalized customer and employee experiences through dynamic products and services. By simplifying the complex, businesses can drop silo walls and operate more intelligently through their 3 P’s — people, processes and platforms.

Aligning Your Data Across the 3 P’s –
People, Processes & Platforms

People

Data fabrics infuse data governance into their systems by managing who has access to what information and when. This added layer of security allows organizations to protect sensitive information and make insights more available to various departments and roles at the right time when they need it.

Processes

Managing the Big Data available to today’s modern organizations is no easy feat. By implementing operational processes through a data fabric, organizations can have more streamlined access to data sources, making data accessibility faster and opening the door for teams to make more insights-centric decisions.

Platforms

There are a wealth of platforms available for managing data. By shifting to technologies to build a strategic data fabric, organizations must consider how existing applications will integrate and how new platforms will align with the people and processes in your business.

Building an Intelligent Foundation

Intelligent operations are required when using a data fabric. Having this strategy in place puts intelligent analytics at the core of business function and defines the processes and how your teams will move away from data overwhelm.

Operating from a framework rooted in human-centered design, forward-thinking empathy, deeply rooted behavioral psychology and agile, lean process improvement is paramount. With that framework, a data fabric can be created to draw out potent insights.

From Data-Driven to Insights Centric

The right strategy can simplify complex data. A data fabric allows for streamlined access to all available data sources to create efficiencies and leverage data faster while still ensuring that the right people can only access data at the right time.
