Most enterprise leaders today will tell you that the future of business is in the cloud, and they are not wrong. Most companies have already moved to the cloud, are in the midst of transitioning, or at the very least have plans in place to begin the migration soon. Last year, Cisco (News - Alert) predicted that by 2017, nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of workloads will be processed by cloud data centers, while only 37 percent will be processed by traditional data centers. But with all this data moving to the cloud, it has never been more crucial for companies to have a data management solution designed specifically for this new landscape.
A new solution by BackOffice Associates is being unveiled this fall to meet this very need. With years of experience under its belt in delivering data migration and information governance solutions to Fortune 1000 companies, BackOffice has developed dspCloud, a market-first, centralized, content-rich Web portal that will help organizations improve visibility and accelerate productivity across their data management activities, particularly in data migration, data quality and information governance.
One of the greatest advantages of the cloud, aside from its flexibility, is that it facilitates an entirely new and deeper level of collaboration and information sharing. dspCloud will enable data stewards and others tasked with data quality and governance responsibilities to build robust libraries combining their own content with prebuilt BackOffice content, to reduce the amount of time to implement and maintain information governance programs. The solution will offer enterprises the ability to collaborate on complex data projects and access solution content specific to their industry.
“We’ve captured nearly two decades of data quality and information governance expertise in dspCloud, giving data stewards and business users access to rich detail that reduces the amount of time normally required to complete data-intensive projects,” said Rex Ahlstrom, Chief Strategy Officer at BackOffice Associates. “We believe dspCloud will revolutionize data stewardship for complex data environments and dramatically accelerate project success with extensive business and process knowledge, analytics and issue remediation guidance.”
dspCloud will work in conjunction with BackOffice’s Data Stewardship Platform, which is a unified, context-aware platform that supports all requirements for data consistency, reusability and execution of complex information governance programs. With the power of BackOffice’s preexisting platform, dspCloud will grant users access to data quality analytics, reports, legacy system information and industry business content that can reduce project times by as much as 80 percent. All of this, through the Cloud, will make transitioning to information governance both easier and faster.
