Watch live: Self-serve data operations will be central focus for Io-Tahoe’s Adaptive Data Governance event

The use of application programming interfaces has already transformed much of the enterprise technology world. At a time when many businesses have identified APIs as the largest enabler of digital transformation strategies, one enterprising company has found a way to apply the concept to create a self-service model for data management.

Io-Tahoe LLC has carved out a position in the smart data management space in less than four years since its founding in 2017. As data volumes have grown exponentially, the company’s ability to enable data search and discovery across a wide range of technology platforms using artificial intelligence and machine learning has resonated within the enterprise world. After introducing its Smart Streaming Discovery platform in 2019, Io-Tahoe found itself being named by industry analysts as one of the leaders in the data space. And the value it offered had a great deal to do with lessening the data burden for many organizations.

“Injecting intelligence into the data through automation is a critical but often overlooked capability to accelerate time to Insights,” said Dave Vellante, chief analyst at SiliconANGLE Media’s sister market research firm Wikibon and host of SiliconANGLE’s livestreaming video studio theCUBE. “Io-Tahoe specialized in the streamlining of data pipelines by removing many labor-intensive activities and reducing the time it takes to complete many of the tasks and steps in the data lifecycle. This is important because it allows organizations to free resources from mundane, low-value tasks and point them at more strategic activities.”

On December 10, starting at 11 a.m. EST, theCUBE will provide ongoing coverage of Io-Tahoe’s Data Automation Series, with a focus on Adaptive Data Governance. TheCUBE hosts will interview company executives and customers and discuss how Io-Tahoe achieves a self-service enterprise marketplace through advanced APIs, the role of AI in data discovery, and a growing need for governance in an expanding international regulatory environment.

Io-Tahoe’s solutions have attracted interest at a time when the meter for regulatory requirements governing privacy and the use of data has climbed into the red zone. In California, a data privacy protection act has been in effect for nearly one year. Under the act’s fine schedule, if 100,000 users were impacted by a data breach, the total amount of the fine could reach $750 million for one incident.

To address business concerns in this area, Io-Tahoe provides automated data governance that tags, links and annotates data policy assessments using metadata to meet policy needs.

“We tie data to lines of regulation,” said Lester Waters, chief information security officer of Io-Tahoe, during an interview with theCUBE. “Using the Io-Tahoe software, I’m able to catalog all of that. I’m able to garner insights into that data using the nine patent pending algorithms that we have to do intelligent tagging.”

One of the most heavily regulated data-driven industries is the field of healthcare. Io-Tahoe has formed partnerships with Amazon Web Services Inc. and Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. to tackle the lack of centralized patient data, a thorny problem that has plagued the medical industry for years.

Io-Tahoe’s involvement supports an ambitious program by AWS to collaborate with healthcare providers, along with government and public health organizations, and provide more tools for analyzing data that could ultimately anticipate illnesses.

“If you think about the healthcare industry, there has been a shift from reactive to predictive care,” said Stuti Deshpande, solutions architect at Amazon Web Services, in a September conversation with theCUBE. “We’ve observed that nurses who are supported by artificial intelligence tools increase their productivity by 50%.”

In October, Io-Tahoe launched a new “SmartData” partner program, designed around a data-as-a-service model to deliver 10 outcomes in a single platform. The company’s no-code and cloud-enabled data management modules provide a self-service experience that is changing the way that organizations address the challenges of data analysis in 2020.

“There’s a lot of pressure on data, a lot of demand on data to deliver more value to the business,” said Ajay Vohora, chief executive officer of Io-Tahoe, during a recent interview with theCUBE. “To be able to put data in context and search across the entire enterprise estate, you can start to do some exciting things and piece together the fabric across different systems. We look to build on top of that with data automation.”
