to the business needs. It will also be able
to move and analyse data based on an
organisation’s network, storage and user
patterns, and work out the best order and
times of when to move data.
AI will also allow organisations to use
intelligent software to move away from
cumbersome, tedious, error-prone and time-
consuming rule-based policies to setting goal-
based policies. Rule-based data management
policies typically rely on a human to predict
every single eventuality and program a rule
for it. Moving to goal-based policies, where
intelligent software works out the appropriate
way to achieve them, would ensure IT is in
control of the outcome without the manual
heavy-lifting and errors associated with the
rule-based approach.

In addition, organisations can benefit from
the improved search and discovery that AI
can deliver. A significant roadblock to the
adoption of Big Data has been the difficulty
in finding the right datasets to analyse,
with data strewn across billions of files and
different storage silos, both on premises and
in the cloud. AI can drive efficient search and
discovery of data to help extract value from
it more efficiently, even at today’s massive
scale of data. With AI, intelligent software
can pull information from a much wider data
lake, no matter where it is stored.
In essence, AI enables businesses to
efficiently handle the massive onslaught
of data by creating intelligent automation
that learns from the unique patterns in the
data and the environment of each business.
Therefore, AI has the potential to significantly
transform the economics and the value of
data management at massive scale.
It’s true that not every company can be
an Uber or Airbnb, but every business can
be transformed. So perhaps it’s time to
evolve the way we see disruption, because
disruptive technology, when applied
through transformation, can help to
elevate organisations.
The transformative effects of AI and ML in
data management will allow businesses to
become more agile, adaptable and efficient.
Data can drive business decisions and being
able to leverage the benefits of an innovative
data management platform will help to give
organisations a competitive edge. n
