Gartner Says Chief Supply Chain Officers Can Scale AI With Data Fabric Architecture.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) seeking to scale advanced analytics and AI across complex, multi-system environments can leverage a data fabric architecture to create an AI\u2011ready data foundation, according to Gartner, Inc., a business and technology insights company.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

A data fabric architecture is a modern approach to data architecture that enables organizations to manage and utilize data seamlessly across diverse systems, locations, and partners. Rather than centralizing data into a single platform, data fabrics establish a unified data layer that connects information wherever it resides, spanning both cloud and on-premise supply chain applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

By leveraging active metadata, semantic models, and AI, data fabrics automate data discovery, integration, and delivery, allowing CSCOs to access consistent, trusted data in real time without the need to overhaul or physically move existing systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor CSCOs, data fabrics offer reduced costs and time for data integration efforts, as well as improved decision making through the ability to operationalize AI across supply chain activities,\u201d said\u00a0Vas Plessas<\/a>, Director Analyst in\u00a0Gartner’s Supply Chain practice.<\/strong> \u201cAs supply chains face continued uncertainty and complexity in their operating environments, data fabrics enable integrated, scalable intelligence across expanding data models.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
