Every transaction that we make creates data. From swiping your card while going grocery shopping, to closing a billion-dollar merger, each transaction creates several data points across the digital ecosystem. Although this is unstructured data, it's how we use these billions of data points to create and derive information that forms the underlying structure of data management and data science. Data value needs to be delivered to businesses as soon as possible, and converting this value into actionable insights is critical.

To address this current need, G2 has announced a brand new category: DataOps Platforms. DataOps methodology combines three important aspects-people, process, and technology. These platforms act as a bridge between data analytics and management to bring value to an organization. What started as a methodology and a set of best practices has now become a critical aspect of the data analytics industry.
