The challenge
Overcoming data silos to unlock AI-driven growth
AI is a catalyst. It enables companies to act more quickly and in a more personalised way, and it drives innovation. But it requires data in sufficient quantity and quality. This 'data hunger' of intelligent applications is growing with their complexity and is becoming a challenge for many organisations.
This was also true for our customer, a leading global technology company whose management of product, personnel and production data, for example, was previously characterised by silos, inconsistent processes and on-prem hosting. Not only did this make data difficult to access and use, it often resulted in redundant data product development and high costs.
Today, thanks to the strategy and support of Data Reply, the technology company benefits from the Data Product Marketplace, a self-service platform based on the Data Mesh approach. Decentralised teams can use it to independently and easily access all the company's data sources, collect and process data specific to their department, and easily use existing pre-packaged data sets that are curated and provided for specific purposes or target groups. In this way, the platform promotes the use of AI.
By cleverly linking the data at the technical level and the teams at the organisational level, the experts have created synergies and reduced redundant development. Thanks to the introduction of clear and standardised processes for the creation of data products and new governance structures, the development of a shared understanding and the transfer of in-depth knowledge within the individual teams, our client was also able to ensure that employees make the most of the new technological possibilities.
Cloud-based, autonomous and focused on a common goal: these are the success factors that characterise our customer's data management today. Around 2,500 developers and 70,000 front-end users are now pulling in the same direction, creating the perfect foundation not only for data and AI-driven solutions, but also for strengthening the company's market position.
