Data architecture is an umbrella term that encompasses data storage , computational resources, and everything in between. All the technology that supports the collection, processing, and dashboarding of data is included in the architecture. Data architecture is the foundation of every organization’s data strategy, but when it comes to data architecture, poor use of space, inconvenient pathways, security, and clutter can make life difficult for data scientists and even business users.

By streamlining the process to fail fast on infeasible projects, teams can significantly increase their overall success with AI initiatives.
