Value of Consolidated Data- The Forgotten Necessary Evil
| The presentation will explore the significance of consolidated data — unified critical data and information from multiple sources across a global portfolio of managed sites – that empower operators to become data analysts, gaining high-level comprehension of trends, patterns, and insights into managed sites. Gaining this cumulative knowledge base that combines all relevant data in one, cohesive platform – instead of analyzing separate data sets in silos – transforms critical infrastructure operators into champions of informed business decision-making as they use unified data for actionable insights.
The presentation will delve into how operators can gain reliable data analysis for data consistency across different sources, and simplify the complexities related to data integration from disparate systems. It will also review data governance issues, and offer simple guidelines for accessing data, ensuring privacy and security concerns when managing consolidated data. Attendees will learn how leveraging consolidated data for data analytics can provide a holistic view of all connected systems, improve insights otherwise invisible when analyzing data in silos, and transform business decision-making. By understanding how reliable and accurate information provides a complete understanding of the complex business processes, attendees will learn how access to consolidated data reveals efficient analysis that makes operational efficiency possible by identifying bottlenecks. |
