If 2019 was the year of DataOps, what does 2020 have in store? For CIOs (Chief Innovation Officers), we’ll see a significant growth in the adoption of DataOps methodologies (technologies, cultural philosophies, etc.). Fueling this surge will be a growing need to capture and utilize data to accelerate decision-making, grow revenue and cement an industry reputation as data-driven business.

If 2019 was the year of DataOps, what does 2020 have in store? For CIOs (Chief Innovation Officers), we’ll see a significant growth in the adoption of DataOps methodologies (technologies, cultural philosophies, etc.). Fueling this surge will be a growing need to capture and utilize data to accelerate decision-making, grow revenue and cement an industry reputation as data-driven business.

"This new model also enables 'push down decision making,' where once again management relinquishes some control to employees, including those at the edge who are face-to-face with customers, partners and other key stakeholders. As a result, employees have a newfound freedom to make critical, data-based decisions in the moment that allow the business impact to be felt more quickly." Weniger anzeigen

To exploit the economic potential of data to derive and drive new sources of customer, product and operational value dictates that the CIO MUST assume a leadership position to make that happen. The modern CIO must move beyond just data management and governance and embrace an approach that leads the IT organization to collaborate with their business counterparts to identify where and how data and analytics can create value across the organization.

Episode 6 of the first season of "Your DataOps Advantage," a podcast series by Hitachi Vantara! In this episode, podcast host Bill Schmarzo (our CTO of IoT and Analytics) sits down with our CIO, Renée Lahti, to highlight outcomes from Hitachi Vantara's DataOps and Digital Value Enablement journey. This dynamic duo will discuss tips and tricks for overcoming big rocks, what they learned about the process and the big results they've produced for the organization and its customers.

Hitachi Vantara's CMO, Jonathan Martin and CIO, Renée Lahti talk about the new VSP 5000 and how it powers your #DataOpsAdvantage

Economics is about the production, consumption, and transfer of value and the most powerful force in the business world. Let’s see how a basic economic concept, plus one new one, can provide the frame for thinking about how we approach these data lake “second surgeries.”

The data explosion has created a conundrum for many businesses, which have bought into the big-data dream only to find that they still can’t unlock the value of their data.

Business units are intrinsically self-preserving, after all – and when that instinct drives line-of-business managers to hoard data they see as valuable, the efficacy of data analytics suffers.

Timely discussion about these and other issues with Richard Villars, Vice President, Datacenter & Cloud at IDC and Renée Lahti, Chief Information Officer at Hitachi Vantara.

Episode 3 of the first season of the "Your DataOps Advantage" podcast series by Hitachi Vantara! In this episode, podcast host Bill Schmarzo (our CTO of IoT & Analytics) meets again with Renée Lahti (our CIO) and Jonathan Martin (our CMO) as they react to the previous day's Digital Envisioning Workshop, the importance of knocking down organizational silos, data quality versus data action, and the importance of pragmatism.

If you think technology leaders' jobs have changed a lot over the past few years, just wait. Here are five new roles all CIOs must take on in the years ahead.

A DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION, IT, LEADERSHIP, STRATEGY, TRAILBLAZER STORY

CIOs from the NCAA, the City of Detroit, and Hitachi Vantara share a 5-minute lightning talk on what they think is the most critical (and positive) thing happening right now in their IT organizations that will shape the their overall organization.

The business world as we know it is transforming and companies are moving toward their own digital North Star to avoid potential extinction. We’ve talked a lot about the underlying solutions businesses need to succeed, from cloud and digital analytics to AIOps. What we haven’t touched on is choice, specifically the sheer number of solutions companies have to pick from today.

Today is International Women’s Day (IWD), a time to celebrate the achievements of women all around the globe and to preach this year’s IWD theme, “Balance for Better.”

The IWD team really nails the way most of us feel on its website where it says, “we are entering an exciting period of history where the world EXPECTS balance.” The part I especially love is the emphasis placed on the word “expect.” We don’t want balance. We are no longer at a point of simply hoping for balance.
