Today, more than ever, line-of-business users responsible for managing working capital need actionable insights in real-time. At the same time, IT/data teams want to accelerate projects, as well as modernize and integrate their data architectures and analytics, while managing risks and costs.
The velocity of change is accelerating. The rate of change businesses are experiencing is just astounding. As many organizations have experienced during the pandemic, especially in their supply chain, the need for the data environment to be able to deliver faster is now mission-critical for all! We need better data—but at a rate that’s much faster than before. Businesses need their data teams to become more responsive to changing data demands. That means they need agility.
For many businesses in 2020, the increased use of cloud providers and online services has been essential to keeping the lights on in virtual environments. This has prompted companies to overcome the inertia and red tape surrounding SaaS, PaaS and other “aaS” products.
Data flows are an integral part of every modern enterprise. No matter whether they move data from one operational system to another to power a business process or fuel central data warehouses with the latest data for near-real-time reporting, life without them would be full of manual, tedious and error-prone data modification and copying tasks.
