Microsoft has snapped up enterprise data modelling company ADRM Software with a view to combining the firm\u2019s \u201cinformation blueprints\u201d with Azure storage and compute to create\u00a0<\/span>sophisticated data lakes<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

ADRM, which providers large-scale sector-specific industrial\u00a0<\/span>data models<\/a>\u00a0to large enterprises, has built and refined its services over decades for business-critical analytics. These models allow organisations to more completely capture and define their business processes and build interoperability across IT infrastructures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft is hoping to combine these comprehensive industrial models with the limitless storage and computing power of Azure to create intelligent data lakes where data from several lines of businesses can be combined more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cData and AI are the foundation of modern technological innovation, yet businesses today struggle to unlock the full value data has to offer as fragmented data estates hinder digital transformation,\u201d said Microsoft\u2019s CVP for Azure Global Industry Ravi Krishnaswamy said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWithout a comprehensive and integrated view of their data, companies are at a competitive disadvantage, which\u00a0<\/span>hinders digital adoption and data-driven innovation<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Combining ADRM Software\u2019s services with Azure, these capabilities can be offered to enterprises at scale, and allow customers to embark on digital projects quicker and with less risk, Microsoft explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although\u00a0<\/span>data and AI<\/a>\u00a0are considered key to modern innovation, many businesses struggle to fully extract value from datasets due to fragmentation.\u00a0<\/span>Without a comprehensive and integrated view<\/a>\u00a0of their data, companies may find their digital transformation plans disrupted. This is the issue that Microsoft is hoping to resolve by feeding ADRM\u2019s data models into\u00a0<\/span>its cloud computing platform<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs we worked closely with the Azure global engineering team during the past year, we became very enthusiastic about the tremendous additional value and acceleration we believe can be unlocked for large enterprises across many industries,\u201d said ADRM Software in an announcement.<\/span><\/p>\n

The post added that the data lakes that can be created as a result of the acquisition aren\u2019t \u201cjust vast reservoirs\u201d but are also metadata-rich foundations that can supercharge data warehouses, analytics, AI and\u00a0<\/span>machine learning<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
