Annual Technology Planning Service
Future-Proof Your Tech Stack, Accelerate Data Value, and Unlock Revenue Growth
Overview: RDI’s Annual Technology Plan service empowers organizations to strategically align their data intelligence technology initiatives with business transformation goals. Rooted in the Data Product Maturity Framework, this offering provides a structured roadmap to modernize infrastructure, close technology gaps, and maximize data monetization potential. By harmonizing IT investments with business objectives, organizations accelerate their journey from siloed systems to intelligent, scalable platforms that drive innovation and revenue.
Alignment with Data Maturity Framework
This service focuses on advancing the Data Engineering & Infrastructure domain of the Data Product Maturity Framework, while enabling progress across all four domains:
- Level 1 (Siloed): Address fragmented systems and manual processes.
- Level 2 (Standardized): Establish unified pipelines and scalable architectures.
- Level 3 (Flexible): Enable cloud/hybrid platforms for AI/ML and real-time analytics.
- Level 4 (Intelligent): Achieve adaptive, self-optimizing infrastructure.
By strengthening technical foundations, organizations unlock maturity in adjacent domains (Analytics, Governance, Security), ensuring holistic data value realization.
