Why is it important?

Data engineering forms the foundation for data-driven decision-making in modern organisations. Here are a few reasons why it is critical: 

• It makes data accessible. The systems that data engineers create make data easily accessible for analysts, data scientists, and business users. 
• It ensures that data is high-quality and consistent: Data engineers handle data pipelines that clean, transform, and standardise data, ensuring it is usable for analysis in business decisions. 
• It ensures scalability. As an organisation grows, so does the amount of data it generates. Data engineers build scalable systems that can handle vast amounts of data, ensuring performance remains high as datasets expand. 
• It ensures efficiency: By creating automated data pipelines, data engineers reduce manual data handling, decreasing human error and increasing the speed of data processing. This allows businesses to react faster and make timely decisions. 
• It ensures data security and compliance: Data engineers implement safeguards to protect sensitive information and ensure compliance with legal requirements, such as GDPR or HIPAA, to protect against breaches and unauthorised access. 
• It supports machine learning and AI (artificial intelligence):  High-quality data is necessary for successful machine learning models and AI systems. Data engineers ensure that data is correctly structured and prepared for these systems, enabling more accurate predictions and analyses. 
• It improves costs: Data engineering helps organisations optimise the way they store and process data. Efficient data infrastructure minimises storage costs and computing resources. 

Without data engineering, efforts in data analytics, business intelligence, and AI are hampered by unreliable or inaccessible data.
