The latest TDWI Modernization Report highlights the progress made by IT departments in modernizing their organizations. Organizations have successfully migrated legacy applications to the cloud, achieved 24/7 operations, and improved user satisfaction with data provisioning capabilities. However, despite these wins, organizations are still struggling with getting more value from their data, particularly when it comes to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and predictive intelligence. Additionally, traditional search functionality is a major challenge, as many users are dissatisfied with the ability to easily search for data using natural language. To overcome these challenges, the report emphasizes the importance of moving towards cloud-based data platforms that make data more accessible while governing access to sensitive information.
