IDC PeerScape: Practices for Data Management and Governance Modernization
This IDC PeerScape explores how some leading organizations have embraced modernization practices to improve efficiency, increase productivity, reduce costs, and better delight customers. It looks at the role of executive support, employee reskilling, and data sharing to make modernization efforts successful."Technology modernization is more than just digital transformation — the movement toward digital assets and practices. It involves smartly aligning technology investments to achieve maximum improvements in business processes and practices and to make all workers more efficient and effective in how they do their jobs," says David Weldon, adjunct research advisor with IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP).
