Select Your Data Platform

Make complex tasks simple by applying proven methodology.

Every organization needs a data management (DM) platform that enables the DM capabilities required. This could be a daunting task because:

  • Every organization has a unique set of requirements for the DM platform.
  • Software products are difficult to compare because every vendor provides a unique set of features.
  • Software vendors are interested in getting as large a footprint as possible.
  • Some products from different categories offer the same functionalities.
  • Some products are just not compatible.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

  • Technology requirements start with the business goals.
  • Data platform selection should be based on common best practices and, at the same time, be optimized for the organization’s specific needs and goals and support an evolutionary platform development.
  • What is best for one organization may be totally unacceptable for another – all for very valid reasons.

Impact and Result

Understand your current environment and use proven reference architecture patterns to expedite building the data management platform that matches your needs.

  • Use a holistic approach.
  • Understand your goals and priorities.
  • Picture your target-state architecture.
  • Identify your current technology coverage.
  • Select the software covering the gaps in technology enablement based on feature/functional enablement descriptions as well as vendor and deployment preferences.
