Data transformation: another buzzword

You've heard about it, for sure.


Johannesburg, 18 Jun 2018

Has data transformation become the new enterprise buzzword, and do companies and their teams understand what the end result may look like and how this helps?

Data transformation goes beyond the process of converting data and working within ETL. Ultimately, it works for the organisation as a whole. Much as a comprehensive data strategy covers the data processing journey, data transformation needs to consider the end-user too. Companies are realising that their business needs to live larger than the Excel spreadsheets they're using, and communication throughout departments is key in driving strategy.

Creating a data strategy that keeps organisational change in mind

While investing in the right infrastructure and resources is important for successful data transformation, in order to see value, it is important that the organisation as a whole is trained with the necessary skills to enable continuity. Certainly, you'll find individuals in positions who will be more technically skilled with the tools needed to drive a data-driven business, but this doesn't mean it should stick entirely to the data team.

With the rapidly evolving digital times, individuals can use software and data to enhance productivity and provide accurate insights more efficiently, which is good news if you're tired of looking at Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint reports.
