The tools of the trade for digital gold diggers are analytical processes and systems. In practice, analytics projects often fail due to insufficient data quality and a lack of analytics skills.

These hurdles can be overcome with the help of data-driven IT. Data as a raw material holds enormous potential. If you want to use its value profitably, you have to observe a few basics. It is recommended to proceed in three steps.

First: Status analysis - putting the system to the test: If you want to improve, you should know your current status. A system scan, for example, determines the quality of the data and shows opportunities for improvement in terms of system size and performance.

Second: Optimize and automate data management. Contain the flood of data, make the best possible use of resources, optimize system performance. Automated processes for archiving and housekeeping provide relief and allow you to concentrate on more important tasks.

Third: IT Operations Analytics - 360˚ overview in real time: The supreme discipline of the digital gold diggers is to use the full potential of their own data for fact-based decisions, for example, to create predictions and simulations or to avoid escalations.

IT operations analytics solutions such as Datavard Insights provide real-time insights into all critical operational IT aspects such as user behavior, data growth, storage usage or system performance.
