Beyond digital transformation with DataMiner xOps


The increasingly connected and data-infused world is reaching an inflection point. Digital transformation, marking the shift from the digital age to the data-driven era, is nearing its end.

Yet, many organizations still struggle with fragmented data, disconnected systems and escalating complexities, and are therefore at risk of being left in the dust.

But DataMiner is redefining everything now. The trailblazing DataMiner xOps Platform is the first solution purpose-built to transform organizations into agile, data-driven powerhouses.

It transitions organizations into the data-driven era faster and more cost-effectively than any other solution to date, empowering them to immediately fully capitalize on their data and controls for unparalleled efficiency, agility, and innovation.

Why are organizations struggling?

Because the options available simply fall short—both in the cost, effort, and time required to get digitally transformed, and in the outcome that too often fails to align with the very goals of digital transformation: becoming truly agile, data-driven, and future-ready.

The evolutionary approach

Firstly, there’s the adaptation and optimization strategy—often referred to as the evolutionary approach—which is fundamentally flawed by definition. A caterpillar doesn’t evolve into a butterfly through optimization—it transforms to operate in an entirely new environment. Likewise, real digital transformation requires more than incremental change. In practice, this evolutionary strategy revolves around attempting to stitch outdated and fragmented point solutions together into a unified, agile, data-driven platform. But this has now clearly proven to fall short in multiple critical areas—leading to spiraling costs, stifled innovation, loss of data ownership, and endless integration issues. And despite all the effort, it still fails to deliver anything close to the expected outcome.

Build a custom data-driven platform

The other, more purposeful approach is to build a custom data-driven platform using an array of technologies, such as messaging buses, data lakes, visualization tools, and much more. Despite being underpinned by a well-intended and ambitious vision, the reality of a custom stack solution has proven to be prohibitively expensive, complex, and reliant on costly expertise to operate, maintain, and evolve. And it should come as no surprise that this option is unsustainable for the broader market, as it relies heavily on technology developed by and for tech giants, and is therefore not aligned with the practical needs of most organizations.


What about a purpose-designed solution?

Enter DataMiner xOps, the purpose-designed solution for organizations to step instantly beyond digital transformation straight into the data-driven era, without risky investments and lengthy endeavors, and to focus immediately on fully capitalizing on their exclusive data and controls. A double win.

Unlike anything available in the industry today, the DataMiner xOps platform is purpose-designed to unify, automate, and optimize every aspect of an organization’s ecosystem, enabling it to thrive in the new data-driven era. It enables organizations to start operating as agile, data-driven powerhouses that generate unparalleled value toward their strategic goals, simply because it’s entirely geared toward that specific goal in all of its facets.

Data & control: two sides of the same coin

The future is not only about collecting data—it is equally about being in full control of your resources. From live technology assets, such as hardware, software, and cloud services to intangible resources like IP addresses, licenses, people, budgets, facilities, and much more; true transformation requires the seamless integration of both data insights and flexible, real-time control across all layers of your organization, from technology to operations and business.

Unrivaled real-time control capabilities – Manage and automate everything from low-level configuration settings to full cross-platform service orchestration and process automation, capable of interacting with all aspects of your organization without any limitation.

Seamless out-of-the-box fusion of data and control – Having both data and control in a single, unified platform results in unmatched efficiency and drastically lower costs, ensuring that data insights at all times remain fully aligned with the dynamic and continuously changing nature of an organization’s ecosystem.

Connecting the right dots

Success in any organization depends primarily on connecting the right dots—across inventory, planning and scheduling, deployment, live operations, and post-service actions and analytics, such as cost management and billing.

But too often, these steps are heavily fragmented across silos, tools, and workflows. DataMiner xOps eliminates those gaps out of the box by creating a seamless, intelligent flow from inventorying and planning all the way through to automation, optimization, and forecasting. The result: fewer blind spots, smarter decisions, and an organization that can continuously adapt and thrive across this entire chain—without time-consuming, expensive integrations or security headaches.
