How Best Data Management Solution Award Winner Diliko is Redefining Data Orchestration for Mid-Sized Enterprises

Diliko was recently named a Tech Ascension Awards Big Data category winner for Best Data Management Solution – Mid-Market Orchestration. This prestigious recognition highlights Diliko’s innovative approach to simplifying complex data environments for mid-sized enterprises. We sat down with Ken Ammon, Chief Strategy Officer at Diliko, to discuss how the company’s Agentic AI-powered platform is reshaping data orchestration and how Diliko is helping organizations unify, secure, and leverage their data more effectively than ever.

What core challenges in data management does the Diliko platform solve for mid-sized enterprises, and how is that different from traditional solutions? Diliko addresses the labor intensive nature and lack of technical enterprise required to manage data in mid-sized enterprises. Unlike legacy solutions that require heavy infrastructure and specialized talent, Diliko offers a fully managed, cloud-delivered platform that combines ingestion, integration, governance, and orchestration. This is especially beneficial for regulated sectors like healthcare and financial services, where organizations must process sensitive data across multiple systems while maintaining compliance. Diliko eliminates the need to juggle multiple tools, allowing these organizations to focus on delivering services and outcomes—not managing infrastructure.

The platform is described as Agentic AI-powered. What does that mean in practice, and how does this technology help automate complex data workflows? Agentic AI refers to Diliko’s ability to autonomously manage data pipelines and enforce policies in real time. It’s not just about automating a static workflow—it’s about continuously adapting to changing data structures, compliance rules, and business needs. For healthcare providers juggling electronic health records and claims data, or financial institutions dealing with transactional and risk data, Agentic AI enables secure, policy-aware data orchestration without human intervention. This helps lean teams do more with less, while reducing compliance risks and improving operational efficiency. Diliko was named the Best Data Management Solution – Mid-Market Orchestration. What makes Diliko’s orchestration capabilities unique or particularly well-suited to the mid-market? Diliko’s orchestration engine is purpose-built for organizations that need powerful capabilities without the overhead of traditional data engineering. Its ability to handle ETL and reverse ETL, schema mapping, data synchronization, and policy enforcement in one platform makes it ideal for mid-market teams. In healthcare and finance, where data flows between siloed systems like EMRs, core banking apps, and analytics tools, Diliko ensures that data is securely and consistently orchestrated, enabling real-time insights and faster decision-making. Security and compliance are central to your platform’s value. How does Diliko help organizations meet strict regulatory requirements like GDPR and HIPAA without adding operational overhead? Compliance is embedded into the Diliko architecture—not bolted on as an afterthought. Using technologies like differential privacy and federated learning, Diliko protects sensitive data at the source, allowing organizations to derive insights without exposing raw data. For healthcare providers managing PHI under HIPAA or financial services firms subject to GDPR and PCI DSS, Diliko’s real-time policy enforcement and audit-ready logging ensure regulatory alignment without requiring a large compliance team. This reduces both risk and resource strain. How does Diliko enable organizations to manage and unify data across siloed and distributed environments, especially in hybrid and multi-cloud settings? Diliko was designed to work seamlessly across hybrid environments and multiple clouds. It connects disparate systems—whether legacy, cloud-native, or third-party—into a unified data fabric. For example, a healthcare organization might have patient data in on-prem EMRs and analytics in the cloud, while a bank could be balancing transactional systems with third-party fraud detection services. Diliko synchronizes this data in real time, maintaining consistency, data integrity, and compliance across all systems without requiring deep integration expertise. Many mid-sized companies lack the technical resources of larger enterprises. How does Diliko help these teams unlock the full potential of their data without requiring a large in-house data engineering team? Diliko is built with usability and automation in mind. Its intuitive interface, pre-built connectors, and automation-rich workflows make it possible for non-specialists to manage complex data environments. For healthcare and financial institutions with limited IT staff, this means they can implement secure, compliant data pipelines and analytics initiatives without hiring a full team of engineers. Our Data Pro Accelerator service also provides guided support to fill any skill gaps—ensuring success from day one. Looking ahead, how do you see the role of intelligent, cloud-delivered data platforms like Diliko evolving in the context of AI governance and data democratization?

As AI becomes more integral to operations in healthcare and finance, data platforms must not only enable access to clean, usable data—but also enforce governance, traceability, and ethical use. Diliko’s built-in compliance and privacy features position it as a foundation for responsible AI deployment. By automating data preparation and policy enforcement, Diliko democratizes access to data while ensuring security and accountability. This helps organizations innovate with confidence, knowing their data practices are as strong as their analytics.
