2030+
Make instant permissioned data easily accessed anywhere.
Beyond 2030, the number of permissioned data products that any enterprise can instantly find and access regardless of the product location—on devices, edge, data center, SaaS, etc.—will grow by orders of magnitude.
Why this matters for our clients and the world
Enterprises will have a true 360° view of all data assets and the ability to leverage all the information to radically improve business insights and actions.
The technologies and innovations that will make this possible
A universal, location-independent method to find and identify data will be realized. We will produce and use semantically rich metadata that is interoperable and federated across any set of organizations and repositories. Security mechanisms will be developed to ensure permissioned data access in this widely distributed, decentralized setting.
How these advancements will be delivered to IBM clients and partners
Computing platforms will be furnished with mechanisms for distributed data identity and full permissioned network connectivity.
