Market Perspectives

The 16th Annual Ventana Research Digital Leadership Awards recognize enterprises and individuals that utilize technology to advance business and IT. The Digital Leadership Awards showcase the professional leadership and their use of business applications or technology that contribute significantly to improved efficiency, productivity and the performance of their enterprise. This prestigious award recognizes leaders and pioneers who have contributed to their enterprise’s success and championed improvements across their people, processes, information and technology. 

Ventana Research has awarded Skidmore College using SnapLogic its prestigious 2023 Data Digital Leadership Award. This award recognizes the individual, enterprise and technology that best exemplify leadership in data and related applications supporting data and information management needs. All award finalists in the Data category were considered for this award. 

Enterprises of all sizes and industries are deluged by an unceasing torrent of data coming from a multitude of sources in many formats and stored in disparate systems. This presents a challenge to capture increasingly detailed data, keep more history than ever and store mounting volumes of information. Applying data science and using machine learning and predictive analytics helps enterprises derive value, but these techniques generate even more data. 

Ventana Research selected Skidmore College for the 16th Annual Data Digital Leadership Award for its efforts to simplify the migration and integration of cloud-based applications and systems. Its need to support transition from legacy systems to Oracle Cloud and use of identity management with Okta required the ability to ensure the secured integration of data across applications. The adoption and use of SnapLogic helped facilitate a streamlined migration that accurately transitioned Skidmore College’s student-focused systems from admissions, enrollment and payments into a seamless experience. 

Data is an area for an enterprise to go beyond transformation and work towards modernization and innovation. SnapLogic addresses the challenges of integration of applications and data together in real time to meet the current needs of digital modernization and transformation. Enterprises that need to integrate and migrate their systems will appreciate the features SnapLogic provides in their platform, from the tools designed for configuration by analytics to customization with developers. 

Enterprises looking to maximize the value of business and technology investments across people and processes should consider how data can optimize digital potential. If you have not examined how SnapLogic can help your enterprise, it is well worth your time. Congratulations, Paul Coleman and Skidmore College, for your leadership.
