As more companies turn to AI and automation, big data, and data-driven business solutions, it is unsurprising to find that data engineering is becoming more sought after. For data engineering businesses, this means more quotes and increased need for effective quote management, and a requirement for payment systems that can cope with the level of customisation and options they then offer to their clients. In this article, we will have a brief look at an overview of the data engineering business before evaluating the challenges these companies might face with payments, how business process automation (BPA), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and technology is meeting these challenges, and what TEB Apps can do for you.
Statista reports that the global big data market is expected to double in size from 2018 to 2027 and reach $103 billion (USD). Within this niche, software has a 45% share that will see it become the largest big data market segment within this time period.
It is therefore unsurprising that Data engineering is a massive industry, one which according to Gitnux is expected to reach a market size of $229.4 billion (USD) by 2025 and has seen a 50% growth in demand for data engineers over the past few years.
As more companies reach for data-driven solutions, the demand for data engineering is going to continue to grow and evolve. Some of the major trends driving this industry include:
