The Rise of AI Data Cloud
The pendulum swings relentlessly. A common theme is emerging after talking to many customers: they are once again asking for an integrated and simplified data platform, without having to stitch multiple disparate software products.
Call it a hangover from the drunkenness of Modern Data Stack. The integrated data platform is also core to enterprise architecture for achieving intelligent data applications beyond traditional analytics.
Users want their platform to adopt open standards to ensure future-proofing and interoperability as technologies evolve.
