Organizational risk continues to climb as data breaches overwhelm today’s information security technology and practices. Despite billions of dollars expended on information security every year, highly motivated cyber gangs, organized crime and nation states are winning the cyber-arms race. Once networks and systems are breached, sensitive data seems to be pilfered at will. 

Big data and data analytics are one of those important factors that contribute to a successful company and their updated software and information systems. Big data creates tremendous opportunity for the world economy, not only in the field of national security, but also in areas ranging from marketing and credit risk analysis to medical research and urban planning. At the same time, the extraordinary benefits of big data are tempered by concerns over privacy and data protection. Privacy advocates are concerned that the advances of the data ecosystem will upend the power relationships between government, business, and individuals, and lead to racial or other profiling, discrimination, over-criminalization, and other restricted freedoms. 

Enterprise organizations collect and analyze their data based on many variables including customer, market conditions, business processes and empirical experience. Data is then cataloged, stored and analyzed. But is the data correct? Where did it come from? Who is the owner of the data being analyzed? Who has touched this data? How did it ultimately arrive in its present form? How to verify this data?  And the answer to all this is Adaptive, Inc. Yes, Adaptive will answer all these questions

accurately. Adaptive, 2012 was established to enable organizations to understand WHERE their data is stored, WHAT it means and HOW it flows by putting proper Meta tags on their data attribution to properly understand risk, privacy, retention, security and compliance related analytics and governance on an enterprise scale.  The Adaptive platform enables the right stakeholders to be involved in the process to ensure proper stewardship and notification are being performed throughout the organization.

Adaptive’s vitality

Companies today are faced with an explosion of the amount, complexity and importance of enterprise information. And, without a complete understanding of how that information is created, defined, managed and consumed otherwise known as metadata - an organization’s ability to meet external compliance reporting demands and optimize business performance is severely undermined. 

Adaptive exists to help organizations realize they do not need to reinvent themselves, rather, they can benefit from leveraging what they have in the most optimal manner to provide a knowledge management asset that facilitates reuse, analytics and compliance throughout the organization. 

Fundamentally, Adaptive aims to couple operating silos, align structured and unstructured data sources, bridge logical/physical/ETL and Business Intelligence applications, derive and apply meaning through Ontologies and semantics to provide true enterprise-wide insight, planning, governance and capabilities management across functions, processes and resources. 

Make the cut

Adaptive’s first product was the Adaptive Enterprise Architecture Manager (EAM) platform that enables organizations to model and manage strategy, process, and information technology on a holistic scale.
