THE TREND
ENTERPRISE DATA PLATFORMIt may not be new or sexy, but enterprise data
management has seen a steep rise in its curve
as companies take advantage of Covid-19
to reassess – and in most cases, accelerate- their digital transformation. That’s why
there has never been a more important time
to be at the top of your end-to-end data
software game, from harvest to management
to visualisation. As companies shop for the
product that works for them in the medium to
long-term, they’ll be looking for unified data
solutions and enduring partnerships.
THE SOFTWARE
SNOWFLAKESnowflake is a relative newcomer to the data
world but its product, Data Cloud, is taking
the business world by storm, allowing fast and
secure access to sharable data and promising
an end to data silos and vulnerabilities. Set up
by former Oracle employees in 2012, it has
bullied its way to the top ranks of enterprise
data management, no mean feat when the
incumbent companies are stalwarts with
deep pockets and long-held relationships.
Expect to see more great things from
Snowflake as time goes on.AI & DATA ANALYTICS
