Data engineering helps you extract more value from raw data

What is Data Engineering?

Within data teams, you come across different forms of what a data engineer does. At its core, data engineering is about creating a road network for information. Data engineers are the builders. They ensure that data flows from one place to another. They also collect information, check if it is correct, and ensure it is stored securely.

During processing, data engineers make the data usable. Other people, such as data analysts or data scientists, then use this converted information. They use this data to create valuable insights, such as how customers use a product or which products sell the most. These insights play an essential role in making the right decisions for businesses. With a solid foundation of data engineering, organisations develop better-informed strategies to strengthen their competitive position.

What is the difference between data engineering and data science?

Data engineering and data science are highly complementary but have different roles. Data engineers focus on transforming complex data into a usable form.

On the other hand, data scientists use this usable data to discover patterns and trends. They deploy statistical models and apply machine learning algorithms to make predictions, such as sales forecasts. This enables the organisation to make better decisions.

Organizations sometimes misjudge the essential role data engineering has in a data team. Data scientists and analysts are then tasked with doing as much as possible with the current data. Only then the data turns out not to be useful or reliable. The cause? Too little thought has gone into data engineering, resulting in minimal usable data. So our tip: start by getting a good data engineering organization in place!
