“The cloud isn’t new and, realistically, neither are hybrid, multi-cloud environments. What is new is pandemic-fueled awareness that the hybrid, multi-cloud is here and isn’t going away, ever. Several proof points come to mind from the past year alone. The first involves Oracle’s deal with Zoom. Oracle was already selected as TikTok’s secure cloud provider. Now it’s hosting two of the most highly visible apps today. It also makes them the fourth public cloud vendor that matters.

Citizen data scientists are a good thing, but are they the only thing?

“Data rules the world and, as a result, we want data to drive all the big decisions about how the world works because we believe in rationality, evidence, and science. But most organizations struggle to leverage that data to its competitive advantage. It’s probably even accurate to say that, statistically speaking, almost all organizations fail to get this right. So, what do we do about this problem?” See the full article here.

Why Digital Transformation Will Become More Critical in 2021

“Organizations of all sizes have demonstrated unprecedented resilience in light of COVID-19 and have placed an even greater focus and investment on digital transformation.

“The mandate for enterprise IT to deliver business value has never been stronger. Today tech professionals are key participants in helping drive enterprise business strategy.

Data Fabric Success: Is Query-Answering the Missing Stitch

Whatever else we can say about 2020, it’s been a transitional year in terms of enterprise data management and digital strategy. The unprecedented crises that we’ve all faced put a renewed focus on digital transformation and data management.

Knowledge graphs power the FAANG companies, you can leverage them too

“People talk about “the FAANG companies” (aka Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google) as a coherent group, even though they’re each very different sorts of businesses with mostly non-overlapping customers and value propositions. However, one thing they share is they are among the most valuable companies on the planet. But what if they share more than just size?” Read the full article by CEO Kendall Clark on Digitizing Polaris.

Big Data Industry Predictions for 2021

“While data continues to rule the world, organizations are still finding themselves struggling to leverage that data for a true competitive advantage. The Citizen Data Science Movement has emerged to widely promote the ability to manipulate and interpret data. But is there is a better way? Wouldn’t it be smarter (and easier) to simply bring business meaning to the data and repair the data rather than fix the people given that raw uninterpreted data located somewhere in a system isn’t very helpful.
