RELEASE THE POWER OF YOUR DATA nformation is recognized as a business asset that can create real value. The magnitude of information is continuing to increase driven by the proliferation of data from the internet of things (IoT). I We’re starting to see this aspect of a connected enterprise and their cyber/ physical systems. However, it’s not only about machine and sensor data. Those are key tools where data is authored. The same is true for data being authored by employees within enterprise applications. Today’s business problems are not about creating more data or buying additional expensive and complex technology, but rather accessing the existing business data and gaining insight. Over the years manufacturing companies have spent a fortune on expensive CAD, PDM, PLM and ERP systems without ever gaining the promised results. Just imagine if you could release the business value that is trapped in these applications and other key data sources like spreadsheets.
