Based on Gartner Framework

Getting Data AI-Ready Is a Continuous Process

AI models are only as good as the data they're trained on. The challenge is ensuring data has the right quality, context, and compliance before it's used.

The Three Pillars of AI-Ready Data

Based on Gartner's AI-Ready Data framework, these continuous processes ensure data is ready for AI and analytics.

Alignment icon

Alignment

Ensure data has the right context, quality, and lineage from the moment it's created.

Gartner Capabilities:

  • Quantification & Quality: Measure and ensure data quality metrics at the source
  • Semantics: Add context, meaning, and metadata to make data understandable
  • Lineage: Track data's origin, transformations, and journey

Qualification icon

Qualification

Validate, verify, and ensure consistency across all data streams automatically.

Gartner Capabilities:

  • Consistency Assessment: Ensure data conforms to expected schemas and business rules
  • Validation & Verification: Check data against known good states and expected patterns
  • Operational SLAs & Observability: Monitor pipeline health and data quality metrics continuously

Governance icon

Governance

Automate compliance, stewardship, and regulatory requirements at the source.

Gartner Capabilities:

  • Data Stewardship & Compliance: Ensure data meets regulatory requirements like GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA
  • Inference & Derivation: Control how data is used, shared, and derived downstream
  • AI Standards Support: Ensure AI models are trained on fair, diverse, and trustworthy data

Why Process Data at the Source?

Waiting until data reaches your warehouse is too late. By then, you've already paid to move, store, and process unusable data.

Catch Problems Early

Identify quality issues, missing context, and compliance violations before data moves.

50% faster issue resolution

Reduce Platform Costs

Filter out noise and bad data before it hits Snowflake, Databricks, or Splunk.

Significant cost reduction

Maintain Compliance

Enforce data sovereignty, PII masking, and regulatory requirements at origination.

Automated compliance

Enable Real-Time AI

Make decisions on clean, contextualized data without waiting for centralized processing.
