What are the benefits of using Data Engineering?

1. Informed Business Decisions

Clean data helps make businesses making informed decisions. Using untransformed data will cost a lot of time, money and prevent uninformed decisions and quality problems. If you cook a whole carrot without cutting it up first, it takes longer to get cooked compared to when you cut it up in small pieces.

2. Speed and Efficiency

Clean and correctly stored data will improve the data gathering time as you don’t need to search where what data is landed. Your data is organized and you know where to find what. Just like in the kitchen where hopefully you didn’t store your milk in the dry store but in the fridge where it belongs.

3. Insights

Once your data is clean and transformed it’s easier to visualize and analyze. This way you can gain insights as well as perform predictions on future relations and prepare your business for it. Because of this, your marketing department will for example be able to use the data for targeted campaigns.
