Data Management

anagement INTRODUCTION

Data Management solutions meet at the intersection of Big Data and business analytics. These tools allow for the

ongoing care of vital data so that it may be readily and continually available for analysis – where insights are

discovered. Data Management platforms may be seen as mediators between all of the data an organization collects

for future use, and a grand organizer that makes tidy analysis possible.

Traditionally, Data Integration tools work to load data from disparate sources into the data warehouse so that analysis

could take place. While this is still prevalent, many companies are finding that their expanding data volumes are

forcing them out of the data warehouse. The sheer volume and velocity of data that has been made available to

modern businesses is just too great for legacy solutions to handle. When we talk about volume and velocity, we are

discussing the topic of Big Data, a great buzz word, but also a very real concern for organizations that collect data

from multiple sources.

This expansion in data collection has created a need for dedicated Data Management

platforms. An evolving enterprise solution for organizations to collect data from

different sources and encapsulate it all into one medium, organize it, clean it, and

ensure that it is ready to be analyzed when a business user needs. Data Management

tools provide data analysts with the flexibility they need to collect whatever data they

feel could have an impact on the bottom line. The best solutions offer what we like to

think of as ‘smart storage’, providing data quality, integrity, and data protection

capabilities.

It’s true that Big Data has helped to create a need for such tools, and as you begin your search, you’ll find that many of

the vendors may make little mention of the term ‘Data Management.’ Instead, they may call themselves Big Data

providers. While they aren’t actually providing the data, they do offer the management options to assist your

organization in dealing with it. In this way, companies can augment their existing data warehouse environment with

more modern approaches to dealing with what some see as the ‘data problem.’

As enterprises branch out and start to store more than just transaction data, the Data Lake becomes an integral

factor. The key benefit to the Data Lake is that it can store data from many connectors, which provides expanded

flexibility to those looking to analyze data in a more broad sense, providing the ability for more in-depth search and

discovery. In addition, the Data Lake gives companies the capabilities they need to accommodate more than one type

of data and run analysis on it simultaneously.

Given the recent surge in data-related disasters as a result of hacks and data breaches, organizations are looking to

secure their data with more thorough governance. Many large retailers and governmental organizations have fallen

victim to poor Data Management techniques, resulting in catastrophic loss. As regulations grow stricter and

compliance mechanisms become more common, organizations will grow increasingly interested in dedicated

management tools, ensuring that they are keeping their data in a way that safeguards it from outside influences.

These solutions are quite useful in this theatre, in many cases providing vital privacy and protection to act as a barrier.

5 Questions You Should Ask Yourself Before Selecting a Data Management Solution

QUESTION #1 Why do I need a Data Management platform?

Too often organizations fall victim to vendor marketing pitches that convince them that their shiny

new toy is necessary for deriving insights. Before signing your life away, you’ll want to be sure that

dedicated Data Management platform will help you to perform more in-depth analysis. Modern

digital businesses are requiring more complex ways to store, protect and automate the processes

by which their data is held, and that’s precisely where these technologies come into play.

QUESTION #2 What kinds of data do I collect? What are my data sources?

After you’ve come to the conclusion that a Data Management platform will be of service, you’ll next

need to record all of the sources where your data comes from. This way you can weed out the

solutions that don’t immediately fit your needs. If you plan to collect data from a new source in the

near future, you’ll want to narrow down your short list of solutions to only the ones that can meet

the needs of your organization. There is no perfect tool, so if a specific vendor doesn’t offer a

connector to a vital source, simply move on to the next.

QUESTION #3 What level of data security do I need?

Some vendors offer expansive data protection capabilities inside their

platforms. Of course, these add-ons come with a price, and it would be

helpful to know upfront whether or not securing your stored data is a

priority to the degree that paying for it represents. We think it is, but

some organizations like to maintain those protocols in-house. Many

solution providers even go a step further, offering services that ensure

certain data types remain compliant with ever growing regulations,

which leads us to our next question.

QUESTION #4 Which use cases do I want to focus on? What will the impact look like?

In other words, what does the deployment of a Data Management platform help you do differently?

Focusing on specific use cases helps to ensure that the implementation of this technology helps

move the needle along the desired path. The impact should be measurable in terms of insights

gained, but it will also require collaboration amongst users. The expansion of data volumes and

velocities should always result in an end goal of expanded business value.

“Many providers

offer services

that ensure

certain data

types remain

compliant.”

Data Management

anagement QUESTION #5 Will a Data Management platform help me maintain compliance?

Organizations that place a hefty emphasis on data are increasingly realizing they are not in

compliance with industry regulations which advise on how to properly maintain certain data types

that include sensitive information. In many cases, companies are flocking to Data Management

platforms for this reason, so that they may automate the process of regulatory compliance and

ensure that they are following the law. Compliance is vital in any vertical where personal records

are shared. Healthcare and government are just two of the major players. If your organization

resides in a highly regulated industry, it becomes vital to choose a tool that will help you remain up-

to-date.

And 5 Questions You Should Ask Your Potential Data Management Solution Provider

QUESTION #6 Can your solution integrate all of the data types that I require?

As the main hub for all of the data you collect, it is only natural to make sure that any vendor you

come in contact with can meet the immediate and future needs of your data environment, whether

you require the capture and storage of social media, mobile, website, or real-time streaming

Internet of Things data. Be absolutely sure that your desired data types are covered. It doesn’t hurt

to think ahead a bit, either, by planning for the projected growth of your company’s data sources.

So, be sure to discuss scalability as it relates to your particular situation.

QUESTION #7 Does your solution allow ease-of-analysis?

This is subjective, and every vendor will surely reply with the same

answer. However, it’s important to understand how the solution

provider plans to supply this. Any tool should make it easy for you to

manage your data and perform analysis when you see fit. Remember,

your organization is one that includes individuals with specific skills,

so any potential vendor’s way of making Data Management easy

should line up with how your company already operates. Your

definition of easy and theirs could easily veer in different directions, so

select a tool that bends to fit your framework, not the other way around.

“Any potential

vendor should

line up with how

your company

already

operates.”

Data Management

anagement QUESTION #8 Does the tools off built-in analysis?

Since Data Management is aimed at allowing organizations to dig even deeper into their analytical

frameworks, it is only natural that some of the solutions provide their own proprietary analytics

tools inside. This boils down to personal preference. Going with a vendor that includes analytics

built-in could be a great way to save some money and avoid getting too technical. On the flip side,

perhaps you’re already using a business analytics tool you really like, in which case you can deploy

a best-of-breed approach.

QUESTION #9 Does the solution automate the connection of data from outside sources or does it require the

configuration of manual integrations?

Similarly to how you asked the vendor about the types of data

that their platform supports, you should find out whether or not

the solution includes pre-built integrations that allow for

seamless deployment. This way, you’ll be able to hook right into

whatever data sources you were already using without having to

go outside the management tool to secure connectors via a

standalone Data Integration solution.

QUESTION #10 How will your solution work inside my current environment?

Moving to a full-featured Data Management platform can certainly shake up the current

configuration of your environment, so bringing in a technical expert to consult may be a good idea.

Many companies that have traditionally utilized a data warehouse environment are adding Data

Management platforms to give themselves added flexibility and a new way to hold onto vital data

for analysis. Like anything else, if it seems too good to be true, question it, and while demoing, see

if they will entertain setting up a mock trial of their solution inside your environment so you can get

a sneak peek.

“You should ask

whether the solution

includes pre-built

integrations."

segments you create and the people who engage with your content or campaigns. The platform also includes a suite

of manual and fully automated optimization tools. These tools can be used to add scale to your cross-screen

campaigns as well as increase performance against your specific KPIs.”

Key Features

Organize – As it is collected, first-party data will automatically flow into hierarchies within the platform, then use

these hierarchies to create audience segments, selecting the specific demographics, interests and actions in a

target.

Activate – Lotame is a media agnostic platform and won’t dictate which channels users activate data within. Pre-

set direct integrations with every major DSP, ad server, exchange and SSP.

Optimize – Industry-leading analytics tools built into Lotame’s DMP enable users to uncover new insights into both

Bottom Line

Lotame’s data collection allows users to capture granular data points so users can build a complete profile of

audiences. As online and offline data flows into the DMP, it will be categorized within hierarchies. Each hierarchy

will capture a specific behavior or demographic trait, such as age, gender and interests, to create audience

segments for use in ad targeting.
