Data Management and Architecture Trends for 2025

Today, many organizational leaders are focused on AI readiness, and as the AI transformation is accelerating, so are the trends that define how businesses look for, store, secure, and leverage data and content.  The future of enterprise data management and architecture is evolving rapidly in some areas and returning to core principles in others. Based on our experience through our engagements across industries, diverse projects and client use cases, and our vendor partnerships, we continue to have the opportunity to observe and address the dynamic challenges organizations are facing in managing and getting value out of their data. These interactions, coupled with inputs from our advisory board, are helping us gain a good picture of the evolving landscape.  Drawing from these sources, I have identified the key trends in the data management and architecture space that we expect to see in 2025.
