Matillion’s Data Productivity Cloud provides a unified cloud data experience that allows enterprises to deploy more projects, to more users, with faster time to value for data engineers. We’re excited by how the company is enabling organizations to improve the efficiency and productivity of their data stacks.” As organizations look to become more productive with their data, Matillion empowers users at all levels to move and prepare data for analytics, enabling them to be more agile when serving customers, developing new products, and adjusting to changing market conditions. 2023 will bring greater productivity gains for data teams as organizations seek efficiencies, build more nuanced KPIs and cement their data strategy to be cloud-first.
