AI-Ready Data Isn’t New — It’s the Unfinished Work of Enterprise Data Management
Explore this Forrester Vision report to find out why your organization must first address foundational information challenges before you can unlock AI’s transformative potential.
Organizations are investing heavily in AI, automation and digital transformation initiatives, yet many continue to struggle to achieve meaningful business outcomes. In this report, Forrester examines why AI readiness is rooted in the unfinished work of enterprise data management and why organizations must address foundational information challenges before AI can deliver its full potential.
Our key takeaways:
Progress in using data for decision-making is slow and uneven: 20% of decision-makers surveyed by Forrester cite data processing limitations and 23% point to data quality as challenges to achieving their objectives.
Modern data architecture compounds the challenge of AI-ready data: Unless organizations have a data foundation with unified context that spans on-premises systems, multiple cloud platforms and a growing portfolio of applications, their AI aspirations will be just that.
The future of enterprise data is context-rich: Organizations that make context a priority will unlock AI’s transformative potential.
Enterprises are at a strategic inflection point: The success of AI initiatives will be determined less by which models organizations adopt and more by how they prepare their data and establish shared, governed context as a foundation for decision-making and AI.
Whether your organization is evaluating AI readiness, modernizing enterprise applications or pursuing broader digital transformation initiatives, this Forrester Vision report provides actionable guidance for building a more connected, intelligent and information-driven enterprise.
