Data platforms are developing rapidly. Today, the focus is no longer just on performance or price, but on data control, AI integration and consistent governance. Companies are looking for holistic platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, and Microsoft Fabric that combine data management, AI, and analytics on one basis. Three key questions, on platform strategy, governance and AI readiness, will become the key to innovation and sustainable business success. Anyone who manages processes, data and AI models in an integrated way creates the basis for a sustainable organization.
