From data silos to actionable insights: Innovating within legacy constraints for the digital enterprise

MARKET VIEW REPORT

Sponsored by:

The business technology landscape presents an intriguing paradox. While organisations possess more data than ever before, many find themselves constrained by existing systems as they try to extract its full value.

TechPros’ conversations with 13 technology leaders across major UK organisations reveal both the challenges and possibilities this situation presents.

What emerges is a story of practical progress.

These leaders demonstrate how organisations achieve meaningful outcomes through measured, thoughtful approaches to data utilisation. Rather than pursuing wholesale system replacement, they create effective connections through intelligent integration and accessibility. The application of spatial context proves particularly valuable here, offering natural pathways to unite information that might otherwise remain isolated.

Their experiences highlight how considering the where alongside the what and why adds depth to organisational insight. By understanding location relationships - whether for assets, customers, or operations - organisations derive new value from existing data sources. This approach has helped numerous organisations connect legacy systems with modern analytical methods.

This report captures proven methods and lessons learned from technology leaders who successfully address these challenges. Their insights offer valuable guidance for organisations seeking to improve their data usage while working within practical constraints.

As you explore their experiences, you'll discover frameworks for evaluation, methods for implementation, and practical approaches to measuring success. Their insights provide both validation and fresh perspectives for technology leaders facing similar challenges.

I trust you'll find their experiences as valuable as we have, and that this research helps inform your organisation's approach to extracting greater value from your data assets.
