Quest Software, a global systems management, data protection and security software provider, has launched a new Data Empowerment Platform, comprised of solutions for Data Operations, Data Protection and Data Governance.
The Quest Data Empowerment Platform is designed to help enterprises bridge the gaps between their data infrastructure, security, and governance initiatives to empower data-centric executives to mitigate risk and unleash more value, it says.
“Few enterprises are truly data-driven because of the silos that exist between IT and the rest of the business, hindering the ability to find, understand and use relevant data assets to drive digital transformation, cloud migration and other strategic initiatives,” said Heath Thompson, President and General Manager of Information and Systems Management at Quest Software. “Our vision is to empower enterprise stakeholders – both inside and outside IT – with the data intelligence they need to mitigate risk and unleash more data potential and value. That knowledge comes from connecting and collaborating around data operations, data protection and data governance for greater data availability, literacy and accountability.”
According to Stewart Bond, IDC Research Director, Data Integration and Intelligence Software, “As responsibility for the enterprise data stack shifts to the CDO, greater collaboration and alignment is required between the data disciplines: protection, operations and governance. Without harmonization, organizations are vulnerable to internal and external threats and are making decisions based on inaccurate, incomplete, and unreconciled data. Quest’s new Data Empowerment vision and solutions deliver intelligence about both data and data systems, so that enterprise stakeholders both inside and outside IT are empowered to accomplish the desired operational and strategic outcomes.”
