Organizations face challenges in staying current with technological advancements, particularly in data management. According to a survey by Forrester, the primary benefits of using data, data management, and analytics include improved customer experiences, data quality and consistency, and customer insights. However, many businesses struggle with stitching together various data management solutions, leading to a lack of standards and proprietary metadata. This results in siloed policies and performance issues. Adopting a global data management strategy and operations can help move organizations away from these issues. Real-time analytics is essential for delivering the right data at the right time, as seen in cases like truedigital and Dell Technologies' Customer360 platform. These companies have successfully implemented SingleStoreDB to power their data management strategies and achieve real-time insights. Additionally, Armis Security has simplified its data management stack using SingleStoreDB to deliver on even the strictest real-time SLAs. The future of data management is driven by trends such as IoT analytics, fraud detection, risk analytics, customer 360, data-intensive applications, and cybersecurity.
