Today, enterprises are swamped I mine with information from customer interactions, online transactions, blog posts, tweets, social media and sensor data. They must manage this data efficiently in order to make informed decisions, enhance customer experiences and drive innovation.
Data management is the process of acquiring, organising, storing and utilising data throughout the data life cycle in an enterprise. The goal is to ensure that the data is accurate, accessible, secure and aligned with business objectives. It involves a set of practices, processes, policies and technologies that govern data collection, storage, processing and sharing.
Challenges in data management
Enterprises face quite a few challenges in managing data effectively and efficiently.
Data is in silos, segmented across various platforms, channels, tools, and business units, making it challenging to access it. This leads to inefficiency and data inconsistency.
