Foundations of the Autonomous Data Enterprise

With rapid technological and market changes, companies face more complexity and uncertainty—and better-informed competition—than ever before. The pandemic accelerated many existing trends, exposing weaknesses in static business models and operations. Some companies are capitalizing on the turmoil by developing new, more resilient business designs, using advanced data and analytics to strengthen their product, service, and go-to-market offerings, to focus and improve their execution, and ultimately to enhance their economic performance. Such capabilities form the foundation of what is termed an Autonomous Data Enterprise (ADE). The concept marks the culmination of more than two decades of development in enterprise data architecture, offering companies the opportunity to support the rapidly rising demand for insight, direction, and decision-making at all levels of the business.
