Forrester Wave™: Data Governance Solutions, Q3 2021

Data protection and privacy regulations such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) have been major drivers for data governance initiatives and the emergence of data governance solutions.They have expanded the scope of data governance from an initial technical focus (master data management, data catalogs, data quality, etc.) to include data privacy, protection, and sovereignty. But organizations have an ever-increasing appetite to leverage their data for business advantage, either through internal collaboration, data sharing across ecosystems, direct commercialization, or as the basis for AI-driven business decision-making. While doing so, organizations must take care to maintain employee, partner, and customer trust in their approach of leveraging data (and technology fueled by data). This requires data governance and data governance solutions to step up once again and enable data-driven businesses to leverage their data responsibly, ethically, compliantly, and accountably.

Forrester Wave™: Multimodel Data Platforms, Q3 2021

 Multimodel data platforms represent the intersection of multiple data models such as document, graph, and relational in a single data platform, offering speed, scale, performance, integration, and security over the polyglot persistence model. Combining multimodel data types and models on large-scale memory helps deliver real-time, consistent, and trusted data to support new business requirements. Most organizations leverage multimodel data platforms to support microservices-based applications and a common data platform for customer 360, fraud detection, internet-of-things (IoT) analytics, and highly interactive edge applications.

As a result of these trends, multimodel data platforms customers should look for providers that:

• A platform that delivers built-in speed, scale, and security to meet your requirements.
• A platform that can support multimodel apps and insights quickly through automation.
• A roadmap that is as bold as your multimodel ambitions.
