Does your company have a real-time connected data warehouse where you can aggregate data flowing in from all of your IT systems together with streaming data from IoT, mobile, and SaaS services? Can you easily connect your on-premises, cloud, and multi-cloud systems to enable centralized analytics? If so, that’s awesome! Now for the big question: what are you doing with those capabilities? A real-time connected data warehouse is a powerful platform, but the value to your company doesn’t come from having a connected data warehouse; it comes from connecting and using the data (at rest and in motion) captured in the siloed systems.

This article is the second in a series to discover where in your company you can leverage Actian’s real-time connected data warehouse solution to generate business value. The first article looked at manufacturing operations and integrating data across your supply chain. This installment discusses the use of a real-time connected data warehouse within your IT organization to bring together data from your ITSM, Operations Management (OM), and cloud management platforms to give you a 360-degree view of your IT systems. Then, how to leverage this connectivity to enable informed decision-making about your IT portfolio and investment decisions.

¿Necesitas mejorar tus capacidades de gestión de TI?

Companies spend large sums of money on IT systems. But do they know where that money is going, what value they are getting for it, and how to optimize resource spending for maximum benefit? Most don’t. What about your company? You’ve invested in 360-degree views of your customers, your products, and your operations; what about your IT environment? A somewhat prophetic IT thought leader made the statement a few years ago, “IT organizations tend to put their business first and often neglect their own needs. It’s like the cobbler’s children walking around with no shoes.” With digital transformation creating inextricable links between business processes and IT systems, the time is right to invest in a greater understanding of your IT assets so that you can leverage them for maximum results.

Data About Your IT Systems are all Over the Place

La mayoría de las organizaciones de TI cuentan con varios sistemas que utilizan para gestionar sus entornos de TI.

  • Un sistema ITSM para definir elementos de configuración, gestionar incidencias y coordinar los cambios.
  • Sistemas de ingeniería y gestión ágil de requisitos para la ejecución de proyectos de TI.
  • Sistemas de arquitectura empresarial para trazar el entramado de la empresa.
  • Sistemas de gestión de operaciones para la gestión de infraestructuras físicas y centros de datos.
  • Sistemas de gestión de la nube para coordinar la implementación y la gestión de los recursos y las suscripciones en la nube.

No es de extrañar que tengas problemas para optimizar tus inversiones en TI: los datos están dispersos en un montón de sistemas de gestión de TI inconexos.

Reunir toda la información sobre TI en un solo lugar

Para obtener una visión de 360 grados de su entorno de TI, es necesario reunir los datos de cada uno de estos sistemas de gestión de TI y armar el «panorama general» de su ecosistema de TI, incluyendo aspectos como los componentes tecnológicos, los flujos de datos, el cumplimiento de las políticas y la gobernanza, los controles de seguridad y el gasto en TI. Un almacén de datos conectado en tiempo real le permite agregar todos sus datos de gestión de TI en un solo lugar y aplicar a su entorno de TI los mismos tipos de análisis que utiliza para optimizar sus operaciones empresariales.

Sería de gran ayuda disponer de un almacén de datos conectado en tiempo real

The real-time connected data warehouse solution from Actian has two main components. Actian Analytics AI Platform is the cloud data warehouse solution designed to handle enterprise-scale data, whether streaming or batch, and process analytics insights in near-real-time to drive informed decision-making. Actian DataConnnect is the Integration Platform as a Service (IPaaS) solution that enables you to manage all of the data connections in your company in a centralized location to ensure security, compliance, and controlled access to sensitive information.

DataConnect and Actian Analytics AI Platform from Actian are the tools your company needs to integrate your disparate IT management systems. Together they can bring in streaming data sources from things like network devices, door sensors, and access control systems to compile a holistic 360-degree view of your IT environment. It’s great to know what systems you have, but understanding how they are used, what they cost you, and how they are supporting your business is powerful information that modern IT organizations and decision-makers need to be successful.
