Global Data Management in the Cloud

Organizations that operate worldwide typically need to manage data both locally and globally. Local business units and subsidiaries must address region-specific data and accounting standards, regulations, customer requirements, and market drivers. At the same time, corporate headquarters must share data broadly and maintain a complete view of performance for the entire enterprise. For many global firms, data is the business. They need state-of-the-art data management just to remain innovative and competitive. Hence, multinational businesses face a long list of new business and technical requirements for modern data management.
