“Garbage in, garbage out.” Everyone who has ever worked in computing or other data-adjacent fields has heard this adage at least once. This phrase or acronym (GIGO) reflects the fundamental concept in both computing and data governance that the quality of your data is the critical determinant of successful results in any system, regardless of whether your focus is IT or OT.

A growing number of data center managers are extending their DCIM deployments beyond the data center to cover remote IDF closets, telecom rooms, and other distributed sites. Organizations like the World Bank and Erie Insurance have already made the move, and the results include better asset visibility across the enterprise, more informed capacity planning, significant cost savings, and better collaboration across teams.
