Today’s Research Challenge

Drive Top Line Growth

Reduce Costs

Companies with effective product innovation processes grow at three times the pace of those without (Source: PRTM Product Development Database).

Only 11% of R&D activities are related to innovation(Source: R&D Productivity Analysis, Yazdani, Holmes, A.D. Little)

Lack of Developer Expertise

Application Integration

Code/Script Reusability

Data Access



• A highly efficient, flexible paradigm for data processing• Pipelines guide the flow of data through a series of modular components• Pipelines can perform:

– Highly computational, batch processing tasks (millions of data rows)– Short-running integration and reporting tasks
