KEMET is implementing Microsoft Share- Point Online as the tool set that enables real time communication between its employees . This information exchange enables far greater collaboration and “ starts moving people away from email .”

KEMET also utilizes Yammer and other tools from the Microsoft O365 suite to access and share information in real time , enabling an increasingly agile culture . “ When you start discussing data management and making all of our data available , our engineers at all the sites have a wealth of knowledge that we need to be able to extract , share and integrate with all our systems data ,” says Hall . “ These collaboration tools are very important in making that a reality .”

Data management in itself is a key topic among many modern businesses , not just IT at KEMET . For some , it is a difficult nut to crack as businesses all want better access and better learnings from data , but there is no silver bullet .

Hall understands this , noting that the true key to success in data management is approaching it one project at a time with an eye towards the bigger , long-term goal . “ We should enter data once and should be available wherever we need it .” “ To achieve this , it ’ s not a one size fits all technology map ,” he says . “ You cannot build the perfect big data mousetrap , instead you integrate new tools progressively into your data management architecture and achieve iterative success through greater agility . Overtime , the full data ecosystem will begin to take shape .”
