Combating competition is one of the major challenges for companies. However, most traditional companies focus on direct competitors, ignoring other potential threats. In this sense, other related sectors such as their suppliers, partners or start-ups from the same sector, constitute an indirect competition that seeks to expand its market through rapid innovation, thus occupying the space of the more traditional company. In this way, a growing need is created by this type of entity on the basis of diversification, developing their operations and, ultimately, being more flexible. All this with the aim of combating increasingly ambitious competition and making a difference within the sector.
And in this context comes the “cloud”, understood at its best as a solution where it is easy to access, in and out, and transform. A borderless, secure, open solution to the world, to regions, to data of all kinds. A solution that simplifies work and allows you to delegate tasks of all kinds, and is more efficient when performing them. concept Zipper It gives freedom for data sharing and consolidation, flexibility, heterogeneity, simplicity and scalability. This, transferred to the data, is what is known as Data Cloud.
This tool makes it possible to organize and speed up any process that involves manipulation, embedding or any other processing of data. If it is applied correctly, it is possible to increase efficiency and facilitate any internal process of the company, thereby simplifying its activity and, accordingly, obtaining better results.
Data Cloud is, today, a solution that any business must consider in its fight against competition, direct and indirect.
However, as it happens with any process that affects the internal operations of a company, it involves a series of challenges that companies must face in a suitable way for its correct implementation, especially for companies with fewer resources and who intend to provide “Data Cloud” from the beginning. On the other hand, companies must choose solutions that allow them to monetize the data they have, with the goal of diversifying and creating valuable synergies that generate benefits. Likewise, it is very important for the data to integrate all its sources, in this way we enrich the data and give it more value. Along these lines, if we want our “Data Cloud” system to be truly efficient, secure and useful, we must ensure that it is not too complex and always within legal barriers regarding data protection and processing.
There are many options through which Data Cloud initiatives can be implemented, and oftentimes there is a tendency to choose one provider, which in my view is a big mistake. If we are looking for flexibility, it should be in all respects, we should be flexible even between different cloud providers. This gives us a position with more control and decision vis-à-vis the provider, opens up the full scope of cloud solutions, and allows us to tackle more ambitious projects where regions, services and legal agreements for cloud providers are not an issue for us. We should always choose a multicloud solution.
Given these exposed details and the growing number of companies choosing, it’s not unreasonable to assert that the data cloud represents the next industrial revolution. The company’s vision regarding data will not only be about information generated internally, but also how it affects business abroad, society and the environment. This monitoring can only be done thanks to Data Cloud and is therefore a unique solution. That is why this tool is a resource for any company that wants to see exponential growth in its business, cover larger markets and diversify its activity, and translate into better corporate results. In this line, it is very likely that the data cloud will have a greater presence and greater weight within companies in the coming years.
In short, Data Cloud is an expansive tool that shows its benefits to businesses almost immediately. With these observations in mind, I can assure you that, without a doubt, it is the goal that any company intending to lead its sector should pursue in the next four years.
