Are technology and data management included in your business planning?
The technology and business information landscape is never static and we all need to stay aware of new events and trends. You should have a roadmap to cater for the current and known future (like “cloud computing” and “big data”), as well as having a framework that can adapt for unforeseen developments and innovations.
Will your current technology meet your future needs?
Technology can be a tremendously powerful tool to increase efficiency and business data intelligence may be a crucial factor behind your success. But everything you are currently using, hardware, services, systems, data stores and software, will eventually become functionally obsolete.
Are you aware of your data risk profile?
Your data is an important and valuable asset! You need to have confidence that you can access it whenever and wherever you need, yet have confidence that it will not fall into the wrong hands or be compromised. Access to quality information allows you to make better decisions. But poor data security can lead to economic loss, reputational damage and potential legal consequences.
