We’ve come a long way since 1778 when George Washington’s spies gathered and shared military intelligence on the British Army’s tactical operations in occupied New York. But information broadly, and the management of data specifically, is still “the” critical factor for situational awareness, streamlined operations, and a host of other use cases across today’s tech-driven battlefields.
Data is the fuel for today’s modern economy – it drives everything from large-scale manufacturing, financial services, energy and transportation to healthcare, media and entertainment and everything in between. This new philosophy of data-centricity has evolved the way organizations think about their IT environments, infrastructure, applications, solutions and even cloud providers.
