Data mesh is to eliminate the challenges of data availability and accessibility at scale.
Global supply chain disruption costs the average large business $189m a year – which suggests the Internet of Things (IoT) is failing to live up to the hype when it comes to revolutionising supply chain logistics and management.
More than 10 billion IoT devices around the world are constantly adding data to already overflowing data stores. Yet global supply chain disruption persists because it is not caused by a lack of data – which is why more IoT is not the answer.
The solution lies in creating effective connections between numerous stakeholders performing a range of functions, across multiple enterprise platforms, and in different jurisdictions. Until now, that has been easier said than done.
