Most organizations struggle with highly fragmented data that is inaccurate, inconsistent, inaccessible, and lacking a governance framework. In short, the data is not mastered. Hence, these data challenges must be addressed using a data architecture that employs AI, is scalable, flexible, and modular, and provides accessible, low-code or no-code capabilities to virtually all skill levels. With AI-powered data management capabilities and best practices at its core, modern data architectures are robust and flexible enough to address what AI needs to make its promise a reality: data.
