The top 3 indicators you need a data fabric
A data fabric brings together fragmented data sources—whether on‑premise, cloud, or edge—into a unified, governed layer that enables real-time analytics and self‑service access for business users. You likely need one if you face pervasive bottlenecks like overwhelmed data teams, inconsistent reporting, or sluggish preparation workflows. By deploying a data fabric, you can eliminate silos, deliver timely and accurate insights through a centralized access layer, and maintain compliance with built-in lineage, anonymization, and access control. Action points: evaluate where your organization experiences delays or friction in data access, explore data fabric solutions that offer virtualization, metadata management, and governance, and pilot a use case—such as providing analysts with self‑service dashboards—to test real-time delivery and impact.
