A Modern Data Platform (MDP) lets you integrate, manage and distribute your data exactly when and where you need it.

There are massive benefits to using an MPD to enable better data management. Your business processes and decisions can become more efficient, innovative and cost-effective with the capabilities of an MDP like Microsoft Azure. Here's our top 13 benefits of using one.

1. Autonomy of Scale

Your organisation’s ability to scale is pivotal in the modern world of business. If your legacy system can’t adapt to changes in your operations, it’s quite literally slowing you down and losing you valuable business. Rapid change and quick yet informed strategic motions are the cornerstone of organisations that lead instead of follow.

2. Reduced Management and Increased Productivity

Your employees need easy access to the relevant data to perform their tasks well. If accessing data is a pain, they’re going to be less productive and satisfied. A strong MDP solution like the Azure Modern Data Platform can solve this with very little maintenance or administration. This means that you can focus on innovation and growth in your business, instead of the grind of merely maintaining basic function.

3. Increased Security

As the modern currency in business, data is extremely vulnerable and security sensitive. That’s why you need top of the line security that is up to date, maintained in real time, and can address potential threats as (or even before) they happen. Fortunately, Microsoft invests billions of dollars into their cyber security, making Azure some of the safest technology on the planet. You can protect your data and your customers’ data with minimal cost and time spent.

4. Technological evolution 

The business environment is constantly and rapidly changing. To stay competitive and up to date in that world, your organisation has to use modern technologies and tools. That can include everything from advanced analytics in Power BI reports, to holograms and digital twins in training courses. 

5. Cloud based arena

By using a cloud based modern data platform, you cut out the costs of storing data on-premise. This includes not only the actual storage costs, but also the spending required to keep it secure and protected. Additionally, when you’re on the cloud, you no longer have to compromise on speed, accuracy and efficiency like you do when you’re relying on physical storage limitations.

6. Efficient data processing 

Your organisation’s ability to forecast and plan can only ever be as accurate and up to date as the data you’ve analysed. If your current data processing or analytics solutions are not up to the task, it’s time for a change. Data integration will help you process information better and, as a result, do better business.

7. Better decision-making capabilities

Making informed choices backed by data in near real time gives you the edge necessary to compete in a modern playing field. Being in control of your most recent data and analytics lets you work proactively and reactively to information.

8. Future proofing your business

From various AI solutions to predictive algorithmic data, you can use data modernisation as a foundation for growth through adaptive infrastructure and foresight into the organisation's development and future.

9. Database stability

With cloud-based data storing, your data is not only secure, it's also completely stable and safe. Software malfunctions and ERP faults are minimised with a database that you can rely on 24 hours a day.

10. Comprehensive customer service

The knock-on effects of using an MDP to improve your business can be felt all the way through to your customer satisfaction. Your organisation becomes better at doing what it should, improving the level of service you are able to provide.

11. Flexibility within the database

Technology is adaptive, and the Microsoft Azure platform is especially so. No matter what the future requirements of your organisation may be, there are constant developments and protocols within the MDP that allow for shifts in business and technical advancements.

12. Intuitive GUI (Graphic User Interface) Systems

The interfaces we provide are user friendly and offer maximum functionality with zero need for data science experience or coding. This makes the task of managing your organisation's data easy and hassle free.

13. Reduced Cost and Increased Time Savings

At the end of the day, a truly great business decision has to benefit your bottom line. Spend less, and save more time, with an efficient data modernisation solution.
