Agility is critical for any business looking to grow and remain relevant in today’s complicated industry landscape. Being able to quickly respond and reliably deliver actionable insights is vital for businesses — especially with changing market conditions and increasing customer demands.
One of the biggest market shifts in the last few years has been the rise in complex data sets and the speed at which data teams must respond. Data teams have been getting bogged down and experiencing burnout at an alarming rate. A recent study showed that 50% of data professionals feel constant pressure and stress from dealing with inefficient data integration – and it’s causing burnout.
This burnout has exposed one of the main barriers to the scalable delivery of value from data: not being able to respond to change quickly and reliably. Thankfully, because of the rise in cloud technology, methodologies have become available across the board in response, such as DataOps, DevOps, DevSecOps and MLOps, to name a few. Due to these innovations, teams can operate more efficiently and collaboratively to address this constant market change.
Scalable Operations
Cross-functional methodologies including DataOps, DevOps and MLOps have exploded over the last few years as a way to extend beyond traditional IT, tap into unique business functions, and drive faster time to insights. These all refer to architecture and operating principles that enable quick and reliable iteration in their particular discipline. Without them, trying to unnaturally force speed can result in design compromises and technical debt.

It’s said that 93% of organizations agree more automation opportunities exist – businesses are just not innovating fast enough to jump on the opportunity. Businesses should be taking more advantage of tools to fuel this need for automation since doing so will allow them to gain a competitive advantage. However, at the enterprise level, businesses are tackling adoption roadblocks due to skepticism of results, budget restrictions and generating buy-in from senior leadership.
By working to combat these challenges, and adopting DataOps and other methodologies as working practices in daily business operations and functions, organizations can alleviate stress and decrease their turnover rate. In tandem, changing the status quo of how things are traditionally done, will allow organizations to get the insights faster that customers and the business desire.
Where Data Integration Fits Into the Puzzle
Data integration is a key component of providing organizations with a 360 degree view of their data. But, as noted before, inefficient data integration is a contributing factor to burnout. Organizations can fix this by investing in solutions that streamline tedious tasks – such as data migration and maintenance. The goal is to free up data users’ time so they can focus on the most impactful projects and get a better handle on the influx of data across their organization. Enter DataOps.
