Manish Sood: Enterprise Data Visionary
Advancing the Future of Trusted Data
Manish Sood founded Reltio in 2011 with a clear vision: to help organizations unify trusted data across the enterprise. As businesses generated increasing volumes of data across disconnected systems, creating a single, trusted view of customers, products, suppliers and other core business entities became one of the biggest challenges facing modern enterprises.
Data was essential to every business function - from marketing and operations to finance and industry-specific applications - but it remained scattered across disconnected systems. As organizations became more digital, fragmented data made it increasingly difficult to create a trusted, unified view of the business.
Manish recognized that while data management technologies had advanced significantly, organizations still struggled to connect and trust their most critical data. The longer information remained siloed across systems, the more businesses risked slower decisions, operational inefficiencies and missed opportunities.
Convinced there had to be a better way, he founded Reltio to help enterprises unify trusted data and create a foundation for better decisions, automation and AI.
Today, Reltio serves organizations in more than 140 countries across financial services, healthcare, life sciences, insurance, retail, hospitality and other industries. The company helps enterprises build trusted data foundations that power operational excellence, digital transformation and AI initiatives. Now part of SAP, Reltio's data unification capabilities help organizations build the trusted data foundation required for enterprise AI and the next generation of intelligent business applications.
Translating AI Acceleration into Architectural Mandate
Structuring Data for Modern Enterprise Transformation
Reltio helps companies leverage their data resources to succeed today while laying a foundation for leadership in a world where artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming widespread in ways that would have been unimaginable at the start of this decade. Manish has found that the challenge of keeping up is not primarily technological, however. It is strategic.
Many enterprises pursue AI acceleration without first reexamining the assumptions, incentives, and operating models that shape decision-making. The result is friction. Through his writing, speaking, and executive-level consulting, Manish shows leaders how to build a deliberate bridge between today’s architecture and AI-native execution.
