Data Streaming Platforms Fuel Responsive Businesses & AI Adoption
Responsiveness in business is about being adaptive, quick, and versatile. This includes keeping up with technological advances and harnessing them to drive business benefits. Our findings confirm that data streaming platforms (DSPs) are pivotal to business agility and AI success.
But before delving deeper, let’s first define a data streaming platform:
It’s a software platform that empowers businesses to stream, process, connect, and govern real-time data streams—making your data trustworthy and reusable at the source, so you can drive agility and innovation.
