The (Ongoing) Data Dilemma – And How To Solve It With A Tech Accelerator

The data dilemma is  – still – an ongoing roadblock to the AI superhighway. 

According to a recent whitepaper by MIT, 72% of CIOs, CTOs and CDOs say that speedbumps with data are more likely than other factors to sabotage the achievement of their AI milestones between now and 2025.

With it, a list of areas are seeing focused investment along the way:

  • Improving data quality (29%)
  • Data governance and management (24%)
  • Democratising data – internal and/or external data sharing (23%)
  • Unified data infrastructure (23%)

While difficult to decommission, traditional monolithic systems no longer cut it for businesses that need to respond to constant change. 

Instead, a modern digital native business requires a flexible, scalable, and responsive technology foundation. Or at the very least, an architecture that can work together with their existing legacy stack.

This is where our reputation of being a Tech Accelerator comes into play. 

By merging startup speed with cutting-edge technical innovation to drive new revenue, protect existing streams, and enhance productivity – our process of acceleration relies on an exciting spread of factors that solve the current disconnect between People, Process and Technology.

Legacy Data Trapped in Inaccessible Systems

Data is undeniably one of the greatest commodities of the digital age. 

Businesses that have pretty much any touchpoint with technology, data acts as the lifeblood and key source to driving new insights, developing robust strategies, and catalysing innovation. 

But, when this data is locked away in legacy systems, it can quickly turn into a liability.

Struggling with outdated infrastructure that prevents them from accessing, processing, and analysing their data efficiently, a large contingent of businesses are under pressure to accelerate their modernisation efforts. 

A survey by Precisely reveals that 70% of respondents cite data quality as the biggest issue for their businesses and a report by ZipDo states that large businesses lose more than £1.59 million per year due to poor data quality.

This bottleneck not only hampers innovation, but also limits the organisation’s ability to respond quickly to market changes.

A recent study by MIT and DataBricks highlights the key areas where companies feel their data strategies fall short in supporting AI goals:

  • Speed of Data Processing: Companies need faster ways to process and utilise data for AI models.
  • Data Sufficiency: Ensuring that AI models have enough relevant data is crucial for accurate predictions.
  • Data Lineage Monitoring: Tracking the flow of data through AI models is essential for transparency and trust.
  • Access and Integration of External Data: Incorporating external data sources can enrich AI models and improve outcomes.
  • Collaboration on AI Models: Effective teamwork in developing and refining AI models is vital for success.

Addressing these challenges requires a modern, agile approach to data management – one that can break free from the constraints of legacy systems.

And one that we can help you approach.
