With the rise of big data and digital transformation, companies generate massive amounts of data, but often struggle to extract actionable insights. A proper data assessment helps businesses understand their data landscape, identify gaps, and unlock growth opportunities.
Data assessments are a simple review of your data to ensure it is accurate, organized and useful. In today’s digital age, your business is only as good as your data. In fact, companies that reduce disparate data sources and streamline their data environment are reported to reduce operational costs by 30%.
At dbSeer we believe a data assessment can help you accomplish myriad things.
Assess Your Data Maturity Level
A data assessment can help assess your data maturity level, where are you now and where do you stand to go? Using a data assessment to pinpoint where you stand on the maturity scale is critical to ensuring the future direction of your data. Once you’ve assessed where you are, concrete action can be taken to take you where you want to be. This will help you identify your data pain points and develop a strategic roadmap for where to go.
Understand Your Current Level of Commitment
Beyond finding out what stage of maturity you find yourself in, a data assessment can help further understand what the current data frameworks you have in place (if any!) and who in your organization are your data stewards. This ensures your organization’s data has a secure and appropriate home while being effectively managed by the right team members. This helps further understand your level of commitment to your data transformation journey by streamlining the who, what and where of your data.
Evaluate Your Migration Needs
And finally, as a whole, a data assessment can help evaluate if a migration exercise is needed to make sure your data is up to date and running with the latest technologies. At dbSeer we offer a tailored-for-you approach to your migration needs. Your organization might need a lift-and-shift approach, or an all-out-modernization, or even a hybrid of both. We’re happy to find the right fit for you to build the right environment for your data to thrive.
Conclusion
A data assessment can truly help elevate your data by defining your data maturity level, evaluating your level of commitment and helping understand your migratory needs. Once these are accomplished, better data is the result. This leads to increased revenue, reduced overhead costs and a more satisfied customer base. Your data is an asset, it is critical to understanding everything ranging from your KPIs to your customer trends: so, why wouldn’t you choose to invest in it?
