Modern organizations are laser-focused on delivering business value from technology initiatives. As a result, Data and Analytics leaders are partnering with their IT and Marketing counterparts to align their strategies for optimal results. This can lead to a balancing act between centralizing functions like data security and compliance and decentralizing data ownership so business users can drive projects autonomously.

Data management is coming of age with modern data architecture patterns like data fabric and data mesh. Data fabric has gained traction because it's flexible enough to adapt to complex data growth and scale with business needs. Using a semantic layer, data fabrics weave data and metadata into a unified view to enable reusable and accessible knowledge on demand across the organization. This promotes better collaboration, less reliance on IT teams for data operations and greater self-service for data analytics. But how far are we in reaching the full promise of data fabrics?

From Unstructured Data to Rich Insights with Semantic Technologies

The advent of AI coupled with companies’ need to leverage context-rich data for smarter decision-making has highlighted the value of qualitative and unstructured data. 

But traditional enterprise architectures have focused on the business application, which has led to continued data fragmentation across the organization, and poor business insights from that data. Low-quality, poorly governed data decreases business agility and increases integration costs. 

A data-centric approach, by comparison, treats data as a workstream. It helps organizations effectively manage the full data supply chain, transform a siloed business environment for democratized data sharing and tap into its enterprise knowledge.
