Optimizing data management is currently a major topic in companies. Above all, the increasing integration of data and business processes, for example in the engineering environment, requires new ways of data management and processing. Increasingly data-intensive services and transactions make data analysis a success-critical task and confront companies with new challenges. Coping with the flood of data requires scalable data-processing systems and pushes classic data warehousing to its limits. It is becoming clearer than ever that big data structures must be set up in the form of data lakes, such as those offered by The unbelievable Machine Company, an Orange Business company. These are the conclusions of the current ISG Provider Lens™ Data Analytics Services & Solutions - Germany 2019/2020 report.
ISG conducted a neutral and independent provider comparison by examining the market for data engineering services with 21 providers and five other market segments with a total of more than 50 German providers and ranked them in each of the quadrants with respect to their portfolio attractiveness and competitive strength.
