5 reasons Qlik and Snowflake deliver better results together
Today’s data architects are challenged with handling an ever-evolving matrix of mandates, technology and demands.
- Real-time insights: To respond to the breakneck pace of business and intensifying competition, enterprises need real-time insights that don’t sacrifice accuracy or quality.
- Integration: As data of all kinds and in many forms pours in, businesses have to find a way to optimize and monetize as much of it as possible as quickly as possible.
- Consumer demands: As analytics, AI, ML, and data science capabilities increase, including self-service options – data-consumer demands have exploded.
- Agility: Flexibility is paramount. Scaling in either direction has to be efficient, and both the data and the analytics infrastructure have to be constantly updated.
- Building the business: All of the above has to happen with respect for the usual business imperatives – boosting productivity, lowering costs and doing more with less.
All of these factors have come together to change how data needs to be moved, stored, processed and analyzed. As a result, data architectures are changing – fast.
