However, for something that seems so straightforward, it still creates huge problems for enterprises.\n\nIn fact, every year we take a look at information management trends that are starting to emerge, or which have already established themselves, we also note the same problems and challenges remain for enterprises, even as more technology and more data is brought into the workplace.\n\nGartner defines a strategic technology trend as one with substantial disruptive potential that is beginning to break out of an emerging state into broader impact and use, or which is rapidly growing with a high degree of volatility reaching tipping points over the next five years. While information management has been around for a long time, it is still disrupting the workplace with new facets of the same problems every year. The big issue this year and heading into 2020 is the role of people in the enterprise and their relationship with technology.\n\nLast October, at the Gartner IT Symposium|Xpo, David Cearley, vice president and Gartner fellow, argued that putting people at the center of technology strategies highlights one of the most important aspects of technology \u2014 how it impacts customers, employees, business partners, society or other key constituencies. He also argued that all actions of the organization can be attributed to how it impacts these individuals and groups either directly or indirectly. Indeed, over the past year, this too has been the case as new technologies like robotic process automation, artificial intelligence (AI), low-code architectures and other technologies become common.\n\nOur list of top stories in this space over the past 12 months reflect these arguments.\n\nIn March, SAP announced that it was \u201crestructuring\u201d and that 4,400 jobs would be lost as a result. But, it should be noted that SAP is simply doing what all big technology companies periodically do: they take a good hard look at their business, refocus, reorganize and streamline operations, according to Josh Greenbaum, principal analyst at Enterprise Applications Consulting. \u201cSAP has realized that it needs to shift their strategy and their priorities,\u201d Greenbaum said, noting that one area of impact is SAP HANA and its team.\n\nAt the beginning of July, Microsoft and Oracle announced that they were creating a cloud interoperability partnership enabling customers to migrate and run mission-critical enterprise workloads across Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud. The companies said this means enterprises will be able to seamlessly connect Azure services, like Analytics and AI, to Oracle Cloud services, like Autonomous Database. By enabling customers to run one part of a workload within Azure and another part of the same workload within the Oracle Cloud, the partnership offers enterprises a highly optimized, best-of-both-clouds experience. Taken together, the partnership provides a one-stop shop of cloud services and applications for businesses.\n\nFor the most part Ernst & Young is very enthusiastic about robotic process automation (RPA), according to a report about the technology in which E&Y wrote: \u201cIt promises to transform the cost, efficiency and quality of executing many of the back-office and customer-facing processes that businesses rely on people to perform.\u201d However, in that same report E&Y also made clear that the implementation of what for all appearances is a simple application \u2014 many are low or no-code \u2014 can be fraught with issues for some companies.\n\nAs we move into 2019, the demand for rapid and constantly improving digital experiences has never been higher. To match the market\u2019s demands, brands are adopting a DevOps culture to streamline the development, deployment, management and maintenance of software at scale. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about DevOps, and the DevOps principles necessary to be successful.\n\nA multifunction communication platform like Microsoft Teams is an essential tool for today\u2019s work environment \u2014 not just a fancy piece of tech. Nearly three-quarters (70%) of professionals globally telecommute at least one day a week, while 43% of US employees do so on occasion. These workers, and their teams, require seamless 24/7 access to the same information to remain successful. But managing an organization-spanning Microsoft Teams environment is no easy task. Major governance measures must be in place to contain sprawl, secure internal data and ensure efficiency.\n\nBig data is here, and it\u2019s getting bigger by the day. With more than 80 million Internet of Things (IoT) devices set to enter the market by 2020, brands are busy making plans to offer new customer experiences and preparing for an unprecedented onslaught of data. Data lakes and data warehouses are two ways that a brand can collect and manage all that data, but what\u2019s the difference between the two? We talked to practitioners to see how they differentiate the two.\n\nBack in 2013, CMSWire asked the experts a simple question: \"Which is better, proprietary software or open source?\" While there was no consensus at the time, the question itself seems archaic today. \"Open source is everywhere,\" said Holger Mueller, vice president and principal analyst at Constellation Research. A quick look at the proprietary software vendors of yesteryear drives his point home.\n\nThe EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) \u2014 the compliance regulation that caused consternation in organizations worldwide, before and after it went live on May 25, 2018 \u2014 is starting to live up to its reputation of being a fearless defender of customer data and privacy rights. As with all laws, its implications are best understood by interpreting its penalties thus far.\n\nIBM closed last month on one of the cloud industry\u2019s largest acquisitions to date: its $34 billion grab of open-source cloud technology provider Red Hat. The deal raises some questions: Will Red Hat help IBM catch up to cloud leaders Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services? How will Red Hat users be impacted by the deal? Those impacted by the acquisition agree it's still too early to tell, but they're bracing for potential integration challenges and progress in the hybrid cloud arena.\n\nThe demands for DevOps engineers is growing, and it\u2019s not difficult to figure out why. Companies that utilize DevOps practices are deploying code up to 30 times faster than their competitors \u2014 and they experience 50% fewer deployment fails. With all the advantages of DevOps tempting more companies into transforming their software development processes, it\u2019s no wonder the average DevOps engineer can demand a salary in excess of $100,000.", "keywords": [], "meta_keywords": [""], "tags": ["eim", "top 10 2019", "data management", "information management"], "authors": ["David Roe"], "publish_date": null, "summary": "", "article_html": "", "meta_description": "The information management space over the past year has been dominated by the growing amount of data in the enterprise and enterprise attempts to manage it.", "meta_lang": "en", "meta_favicon": "/~/media/0f48619f063d48bfa500ab082f28eda7.png", "meta_data": {"news_keywords": "top 10 2019,data management,eim", "description": "The information management space over the past year has been dominated by the growing amount of data in the enterprise and enterprise attempts to manage it.", "twitter": {"card": "summary_large_image", "image": "https://www.cmswire.com/~/media/22550b92d8094f9ea7371783f83acac0.jpg", "site": "@CMSWire", "creator": "@druadh20", "url": "https://www.cmswire.com/information-management/cmswires-top-10-information-management-articles-of-2019/", "title": "CMSWire's Top 10 Information Management Articles of 2019", "description": "The information management space over the past year has been dominated by the growing amount of data in the enterprise and enterprise attempts to manage it."}, "og": {"image": "https://www.cmswire.com/~/media/22550b92d8094f9ea7371783f83acac0.jpg", "description": "The information management space over the past year has been dominated by the growing amount of data in the enterprise and enterprise attempts to manage it.", "type": "article", "site_name": "CMSWire.com", "title": "CMSWire's Top 10 Information Management Articles of 2019", "language": "en-US", "country-name": "USA"}, "article": {"publisher": "https://www.facebook.com/CMSWire"}, "parsely-metadata": "{ 'type': 'feature', 'category': 'information management', 'sophistication': '', 'keywords': ['top 10 2019', 'data management', 'information management', 'eim', 'category: information management', 'type: feature', 'utype: staff'] }", "viewport": "width=device-width, initial-scale=1", "verify-v1": "HdocqHqkIh/dBv6gbC1hYzp8AZFAws0DzzDbycC/O88=", "dcterms.language": "en-us", "dcterms.format": "text/html", "dcterms.publisher": "Simpler Media Group, Inc.", "dcterms.rights": "Copyright 2003-2019 Simpler Media Group, Inc.", "fb": {"app_id": 131721606912999}}, "canonical_link": "https://www.cmswire.com/information-management/cmswires-top-10-information-management-articles-of-2019/"} |
