Forrester believes that enterprise data virtualization has become critical to every organization in overcoming growing data challenges by delivering faster access to connected data and support self-service and agile data-access capabilities for EA pros to drive new business initiatives.

According to the report, 56% of global technology decision makers claim they have already implemented, are implementing, or are expanding or upgrading their implementations of DV technology in 2017, up from 45% in 2016.

The analyst firm had the following to say about the TIBCO acquisition:

“We see this as a big opportunity for TIBCO to expand its data management and integration capabilities by integrating its existing in-memory, graph, analytics, data quality, and master data management with Cisco’s DV solution. This will help TIBCO deliver an end- to-end data and analytics platform to support new business use cases that require orchestration of silos in real time with self-service and automation capabilities.” —The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Data Virtualization, Q4 2017
