Abstract
Competitive pressures and the continuous quest for greater efficiency are propelling manufacturers to transform operations. Many leaders are determined to build factories of the future — intelligent environments where data drives decision-making and enables fully autonomous processes. For most companies, the journey from the present state to that future vision requires data modernization. Manufacturers need to rearchitect data collection, integration, analysis, and governance. Only a modern data strategy will enable them to realize the full benefits of using data to guide their business. When companies are successful, data modernization can help revolutionize manufacturing. Companies can streamline processes, optimize supply chains, reduce costs, and gain the agility necessary for shifting customer requirements. Manufacturers with a modern data strategy can gain a competitive edge as they refocus on innovation.
