Knowledge graphs provide smart database management across hybrid computing environment

“The next challenge in data management is accessing data resources that are dispersed across a hybrid computing environment. Companies have invested in master data management solutions, breaking down silos and centralizing resources to simplify access.

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.
