Data Fabric belongs to the areas of Big Data and Smart Data, Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence.
The term data fabric describes a modern concept that enables companies to manage and utilise huge amounts of data from different sources more easily. In the past, data was often "trapped" in individual departments or systems - IT had to go to great lengths to bring them together. Data Fabric, on the other hand, connects all these data sources like an intelligent network. This gives companies clear access to their data anytime and anywhere - regardless of where it is stored.
An illustrative example: An international retailer collects sales data from shops, online shops and social media. With a data fabric solution, he can collate all the information in real time, recognise trends and make better business decisions.
Data Fabric not only helps to reduce costs and effort, but also offers more flexibility and security when handling data. For companies that want to be successful in the digital age, data fabric is therefore often the next logical step.
