Ventana Research recently announced its 2023 Market Agenda for Data, continuing the guidance we have offered for two decades to help organizations derive optimal value and improve business outcomes.
Organizations that make a higher proportion of business decisions based on data stand to gain competitive advantage, responding faster to worker and customer demands for more
Ventana Research offers guidance on data and information management to help expand information competencies. In our research, we explore smarter persistence, computing, integration, virtualization, governance and preparation in order to uncover – and advocate for – new methods of using information effectively. Our Data expertise includes six focus areas: Analytic Data Platforms, Data Governance, Data Management, Data Operations, Operational Data Platforms and Streaming Data and Events. Our overarching Analytics and Data Benchmark Research along with our Data Governance Benchmark Research explore each of these topics, providing insights to guide decision-making.
Analytic data platforms are designed to store, manage, process and query data, in support of business intelligence and data science initiatives across on-premises, hybrid and multicloud
Data governance enables organizations to ensure data is cataloged, trusted and protected, improving business processes to accelerate analytics initiatives while supporting data quality. Almost 9 in 10 organizations say data governance is important, while organizations that create and publish data governance policies have greater confidence and trust in data. Our Data Governance Benchmark Research provides an overview of organizations’ needs, plans and attitudes on data governance.
Data management is a set of processes and technologies designed to deliver data integrity and reliability through data quality and master data management, enabling organizations to
Data operations (DataOps) is a methodology designed to deliver agile business intelligence and data science through the automation and orchestration of data integration and processing pipelines as well as improved data integrity via data monitoring and observability. We assert that through 2025, data observability will continue to be a priority for the evolution of data operations products as vendors deliver more automated approaches to data engineering, improving trust in enterprise data. We have several Benchmark Research projects studying these issues, including Data Governance and Analytics and Data.
Operational data platforms are designed to store, manage and process data in support of worker- and customer-facing operational applications across on-premises, hybrid and
Streaming data and events can be used to identify trends and anomalies and enable real-time responses through uninterrupted processing and analysis of data generated by systems and devices on a continuous basis. We assert that by 2025, more than 7 in 10 organizations’ standard information architectures will include streaming data and event processing, allowing organizations to be more responsive and provide better customer experiences. We will continue to study streaming data this year in our overarching Analytics and Data Benchmark Research and ongoing Dynamic Insights research.
