WHY THEPLUMBING MATTERS

“Data plumbing” is a way to describe the technology and connections between systems in cloud

computing. It includes the systems, storage, network, and the interconnection components that form

the cloud environment. The plumbing determines the way the data and services are delivered to end users.

If the plumbing is not designed properly, it can lead to huge bottlenecks or cause systems and services to

lag, as inefficient plumbing creates problems in the movement of data or high volumes of data sets being

generated in a short amount of time. A properly designed and architected system helps to automate the

management and flow of data and services from multiple sources, making it available for strategic use.

It enables your data to get from point A to point B in the most efficient way possible, without creating

bottlenecks or overloading the system.

Data plumbing provides a way for your company to manage, process, and store data efficiently so that it

can be easily accessed and used to improve your company’s processes and organization. By having a well structured plumbing system, your company can increase business efficiency and productivity, reduce

costs, and provide actionable insights promptly, with data to back-up your decision-making.

Data plumbing is important for all companies that recognize the value of data, but especially for growing

companies. As companies grow, their data problems grow with them as data is constantly growing and

changing with more information being collected. Now, data is the lifeblood of any company and as such,

all aspects of your company rely on data to function at its highest level, from shipping and inventory,

to sales and marketing, to HR and finance. However, too many connections or too much data flowing

at once can lead to a data overload or bottlenecks (clogging). Not having a properly structured data

plumbing system can have a negative impact on your company as data “clogs” can hinder your company’s

efficiency, effectiveness, and growth.

Setting up data plumbing correctly ensures that your data is well-organized and can be properly leveraged for your business.”
