What is Data Platform
Modernisation?
Businesses today face the
challenge of organising
information that resides in onpremises, disparate siloed data
sources that are fragmented
and of low data quality.
There are barriers to getting value from data

Rising costs
As a result, much of the information generated by the
business may not provide reliable insights, or remains
undiscovered and unused, otherwise known as ‘dark data’.
This has a limiting effect on the business’ decision-making,
collaboration, forecasting and compliance. It could also
impact talent acquisition and retention; having the right
people and developing the right skills, competencies and
culture supports a data-driven business.
Using the power of Microsoft Azure’s Data Platforms,
Advanced Analytics and AI services will help businesses
to accelerate their maturity and become a data-driven
business. Exploiting the full potential of data via a
central, modern data platform is crucial to competing
successfully and growing.
New Signature’s Data Platform Modernisation service
is designed to help businesses transform their existing
data platform services rapidly and cost effectively.
Implemented properly, a new modern environment will
become the foundation for your AI journey.
Common pain points that can be overcome quickly with
a modern data platform are:
• Disparate, siloed data sources that result in unreliable,
‘dark data’
• Costly and time-consuming manual reporting methods
• Low productivity through inefficiencies
• Lack of business insight leading to poor decision making
• Low customer intimacy resulting in a poor customer
experience
