DataOps Explained
Understand how DataOps leverages analytics to drive actionable business insights
What is DataOps?
Short for data operations, DataOps is a practice that applies agile engineering and DevOps best practices in the field of data management to better organize, analyze, and leverage data to unlock business value. It's a collaboration between DevOps teams, data engineers, data scientists, and analytics teams to accelerate the collection and implementation of Data-Driven Business insights.
Central to the success of DataOps is automating and orchestrating data pipelines. Manual efforts alone cannot keep pace with the amount of data generated. Automation and orchestration enable:
Quick and efficient movement of data between various systems
Optimization of the health and performance of the data pipeline
Drivers for DataOps
Many companies struggle to organize and leverage their data to create value. Here's why:
 |
Rapidly increasing data sources, due to newer types of data or more complex business models, that make simplification difficult |
 |
Inadequate collaboration and business involvement that fail to drive a successful cultural shift |
 |
Unclear approach to measuring success, particularly for foundational initiatives, since many benefits are observed in other teams’ performance |
 |
Process mismatch, wherein traditional data management processes and practices do not align well with newer techniques such as artificial intelligence (AI) |
 |
Challenges in operationalizing at scale with rapidly rising stakeholder expectations for speed, flexibility, timeliness, and customization of new capabilities |
DataOps goals
Using data correctly can enhance and even revolutionize the way organizations operate. But unfortunately, 88% of data goes unanalyzed, and only 15% of big data projects make it to production. DataOps aims to solve these problems by changing the way that teams collaborate around data and how it is deployed into action.
