Researchers all around the world create a lot of data! Experts estimate that by 2025 there could be over 100 zettabytes of data created by or available to researchers.
Researchers need to efficiently manage data to create useful insights, and face increasing challenges and overheads in creating, preparing, analysing, publishing, preserving, protecting IP, and claiming attribution for research papers. In addition, the data sets that support the published results are also valuable assets that need to be treated appropriately. The ongoing community forums addressing data quality, standards, versioning, FAIRness, and commercialisation of research data are evidence that these are not easy problems to solve.
Adopting a data fabric radically changes the way researchers and research organisations can collaborate to embrace the hybrid cloud. A data fabric enables researchers to minimise unproductive technology costs, collapse wait time and share data safely with collaborators to produce better research results faster.
Learn how we unlock trapped value in research data, building in end-to-end data observability, allowing researchers to do more research with less cost, and enabling data management teams to achieve peak efficiency and deliver lasting value to the community.
A data fabric is always evolving. The right data management approach is crucial to the sustainability of current and future research. Join us to get the latest updates on what has changed, pitfalls to avoid, new innovations in data sharing between faculties, institutions, and facilities across the globe that could bring you success in your next research project!

Ben is an enterprise architect who researches data about research data. He seeks to help researchers, research data managers, and data platform providers to succeed together to improve research outcomes by adopting the best practice design concept called the data fabric. Ben and his team have delivered over 150 data fabric workshops over the last four years in the Asia Pacific region, many for research organisations. They have uncovered many actionable insights to create beneficial impact for individuals, teams and organisations across business, government and academic research. Ben is an avid learner who believes that we all have more to learn than what we already have learned!
