The year will be one of experimentation for the Indian market as it is trying to regulate the use, access and management of data. The trend for businesses to consolidate their data management solutions will accelerate in 2019. With data flow increasingly exponentially, and with companies working across borders and integrating technologies into operations, the need for better data management only continues to rise. Regulations are increasing the impetus for organizations to have better management and visibility over their data. Cyber threats have instilled fear over businesses this year, even in the public sector.

Consolidation will provide businesses with insights to manage inventory, organize and review data, act upon alerts and finally, automate decisions to improve data management, including governance and risk policy changes.
