Modern businesses are increasing their reliance on data-driven operations, decision-making, customer engagement, and more.

Their efforts use numerous data sources to power their reports, business intelligence, and analytics-derived analytics in these areas.

Critical to success is an assurance that these applications and processes have good quality data at the right time to take action in a timely manner. Increasingly, automated data pipelines play a key role.

To understand how automated data pipelines can help, it is important to consider the things that deny end users (the data scientists, data analysts, lines of business, and more) the high-quality data they need to do their work.

Automated data pipelines aren’t simply tools that conduct data from point A to point B.

Instead, they understand not just the data they handle but also the code that manipulates this data. This allows automated data pipelines to identify changes, manage them, and intelligently apply these modifications across the entire data ecosystem.

This is a profound shift from traditional pipelines, with automation making these pipelines proactive rather than merely reactive.

Modern organizations are dealing with vastly different conditions. Many new types of data are being used across industries. That includes data from smart sensors, IoT devices, customers’ mobile phones, and more.

And thanks to APIs and other technology, many organizations frequently incorporate third-party data into their analytics, querying, and reporting processes.

Such data often needs more massaging to be put into a useful and trustworthy form.

Unfortunately, as the demand grows for access to the growing volume and types of data from business users and lines of business, IT departments and data engineers cannot keep up.

Most organizations find they simply do not have enough time or resources to meet demand.

Implementing automated data pipelines is one way to make data a more natural part of analytics and reporting workflows.

How we create, manage, and leverage pipelines is undergoing profound transformation.

The interplay between cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence and evolving business needs has triggered a series of trends reshaping how organizations approach the entire concept of data pipelines.

It’s not a choice. Companies must abandon old ways of doing things to continue to make the most of big data and operate competitively.

One of the most egregious right now is the overreliance on manual creation of data pipelines.

Here are the key reasons why this traditional approach must make way for the new era of automated, AI-driven solutions.

Multiple studies over the years have documented the rise in the use of additional data sources in decision-making processes. Tellingly, most companies are incorporating external data sources to complement their own resources.

Why the great shift?

The move to more data sources is being aided by the use of cloud databases, standard APIs such as OpenAPI, and more.

Additionally, the inclusion of additional and different data sources into business intelligence and analytics routines used for decision making can deliver significant improvements in the insights derived from data.

For example, a McKinsey study noted the work of an insurer that transformed its core processes, including underwriting, by expanding its use of external data sources. The insurer went from a small number of sources to more than 40 in a two-year period.

The result: the company was able to increase the predictive power of its core models by more than 20 percent.

In the rapidly evolving data engineering landscape, understanding the tradeoffs in the choice between ETL tools and data pipelines is crucial.

While ETL has its uses, data pipelines have emerged as a more versatile solution for today’s complex data needs.

Data pipelines offer the enhanced flexibility, automation, and scalability essential in today’s data-driven businesses.

They can:

▪️ Handle far more diverse data scenarios

▪️ Access and acquire data from more sources

▪️ Deliver data to multiple destinations in many formats

▪️ Scale the processing of data across multiple types of infrastructure without requiring massive new staffing investments.
