Market Challenges with Legacy On‑Prem Axon

• Limited Scalability– On‑prem hardware caps performance just as data volumes soar.
  
  
• High TCO & Maintenance- Servers, patching, and license renewals drain budgets.
  
  
• Slow Innovation– New Axon features lag behind CDGC cloud releases, delaying governance improvements.
  
  
• Siloed Visibility– Lineage, glossaries, and policies remain locked in on‑prem, hindering enterprise‑wide data‑democratization initiatives.
  
  
• Complex Upgrades– Version upgrades are time-consuming, disruptive, and often require manual intervention.

These challenges make it increasingly difficult for organizations to keep pace with evolving data governance needs and digital transformation goals.
