Google Cloud: All Data, All the Time

Google Cloud aims to break businesses out of their silo habits. The vendor on Wednesday debuted three new database and data analytics platforms – Dataplex, Datastream and Analytics Hub – at its first-ever Data Cloud Summit. Each component predicts outcomes. That means leaders can act on data in ways they never have before and stop missing out on opportunities.

Keeping information in separate places – Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft Teams, Asana and so on – hurts organizations in significant ways. First, there’s the obvious: When people can’t view all relevant data in one location, they can’t analyze what they don’t know. A lack of visibility blocks informed decision-making. Second, siloing data comes at a price. Gartner recently estimated that poor data quality costs organizations, on average, $12.8 million each year.
