Use Cases

What Is A DI Foundation?

DI Foundation is a single and consistent data management framework that allows to extract value from data pipelines within limited time, budgets, and skills constraints.

The new role of technology

Technology as a business and innovation partner to design a tech-forward business strategy, integrate tech management across organizational clusters, and deliver outstanding user and customer experiences.

Embracing agile

IT needs to change how it delivers technology; improving IT services with next-generation capabilities such as, platform as a service, cloud, scalable AI, and being ready to support decision intelligence.

Future-proof foundation

To keep pace with the latest technological changes, organizations need to implement a flexible architecture supported by composable platforms, streaming data and advanced cybersecurity.

By 2025, 50% of enterprises
will have devised artificial
intelligence (AI) orchestration
platforms to operationalize AI,
which is a significant increase
from less than 10% in 2020.

Key Capabilities

Internal/external data

It's to good to be aware that you hold a treasure of high quality data within your company today. Maybe you just need to unlock it. That said, in many cases there's public or third party data available that fit the missing puzzle pieces.

(Active) metadata

Don’t keep your metadata locked up in your source systems or even a data catalog. Give users and tools an easy way to find, analyze, understand and trust the data used, wherever it is located.

By infusing the data fabric with metadata, its structure will reflect behavior, ready to extract company wisdom from.

Ontologies

It's the way we can connect entities and understand their relationships as it links your data with common business terms. It forms the underlying structure of the data fabric. They do not only introduce a shareable and reusable knowledge representation, but can also add new knowledge about the domain.

Governance

With governance, security and regulatory compliance built into the fabric consistently across all data, an enterprise data fabric architecture delivers trusted data, resulting in trusted outcomes for your AI initiatives.

Quality

As organizations constantly use more data in distributed environments, and face more complex business requirements, data and analytics leaders need to assure high data quality.

Transformation

Data fabric makes the digital transformation easier because there’s a clear picture of your organization’s data as a whole. Companies must come to grips with the reality of data as it is, distributed, and decentralized.

Integration

Connects to any data source via pre-packaged connectors and components
Provides data ingestion and integration capabilities – between and among data sources as well as applications
Supports batch and streaming

Sandbox

Ultimately, it’s about gaining the experience required to reduce risk, plan resources, and accelerate time-to-value of enterprise-scale deployments.

Preparation

Data preparation capabilities enable faster time to delivery of integrated datasets for use cases. Furthermore, it allows users to identify anomalies and patterns and improve and review the data quality of their findings in a repeatable fashion.

Efficient IT Delivery Processes

The critical element that defines a DI Foundation is the 'fabric'. The term describes how this technology manages data as a logical network of structured datasets and does not rely on the ongoing exchange of copies between apps or data stores to provide a data integration function. This design is inspired by the brain’s structure, which uses a physical network of axons and neurons to connect information and eliminate duplication. In DI Foundation technology, a logical rather than physical network is applied, but the outcome is the same as eliminating point-to-point integration. The benefit is the creation of significant efficiencies within the IT delivery process.
