Why do businesses need a data platform?

Because data is scattered. A proper data platform lets you: Eliminate silos between systems and teams Streamline data ingestion, transformation, and access Power real-time workflows and AI-driven insights Improve governance, security, and scalability Without a platform, you're managing chaos, not intelligence.

What does a modern data platform include?

Key components of an effective data platform: Connectors for ingesting structured and unstructured data Processing engines for real-time and batch data Storage that scales and supports querying Governance tools for access control, lineage, and compliance Integration layers for APIs, workflows, and analytics tools. Rayven has all these - and more.

How is a data platform different from a data warehouse?

A data warehouse is one part of the picture - focused on storing and analysing historical data. A data platform does more. It handles: Live data ingestion and stream processing Workflow automation and operational triggers Integration with devices, systems, and APIs Governance, monitoring, and scalability across all data.

Who uses a data platform?

Everyone from analysts to engineers, HR and Sales. Data teams use it to model, clean, and serve insights Ops teams rely on real-time triggers and alerts Developers embed data into apps and processes Decision-makers trust it for reliable, up-to-date reporting A good platform empowers every layer of the business.

Can a data platform support real-time analytics?

Yes - if it’s built for it. Real-time data platforms (like Rayven’s) let you: Ingest data from live sources (e.g. IoT devices, sensors) Trigger workflows instantly Generate dashboards and insights as things happen Perfect for use cases where seconds matter - not hours.

What should you look for in a data platform?

Make sure your platform can: Integrate with your full tech stack Handle real-time and historical data Support automation, AI, and visualisation tools Scale securely with governance built-in Offer a low-code environment to speed up delivery You want flexibility without compromise.

What features should workflow automation software include?

Yes - if you choose the right platform. Good workflow automation software connects to: ERPs, CRMs, and finance tools IoT platforms and devices Messaging systems (Slack, Teams, email) Data lakes and warehouses Integration makes automation smart, not siloed.

AI-Powered Unified & Real-Time Data Platform

A data platform is the foundational layer that enables businesses to ingest, store, transform, orchestrate, and operationalise data from across their organisation - at-scale.

Unlike traditional tools that require patching together databases, ETL services, and workflow tools, a modern data platform like Rayven unifies every component. It connects to any system, handles both real-time and batch data, supports multi-model storage (including SQL + Cassandra), and enables automation, analytics, and AI deployment from a single interface.
