The article discusses the implications of data silos in enterprise systems, highlighting that while storage isn't an issue anymore, accessing integrated data is crucial for insights and AI functionality. Rahul Auradkar from Salesforce notes that a majority of enterprise data is unstructured and that many organizations struggle with data accessibility. Traditional methods like customer data platforms (CDPs) aim to unify this data but fall short as a considerable number of applications remain unintegrated, hindering effective decision-making and data utilization.
“Most enterprise data (80%) is unstructured, and 59% of organizations lack unified, easily accessible data for AI. This is a significant hindrance when looking to effectively scale.”
“Think about it. How many cloud services do you personally subscribe to? How many does your business use? And how many local applications? Can you get at all that data?”
