The advance of digitalization, an increasing pressure of competition and disruptions of various kinds act as catalysts for digital transformation in general. More and more, companies are faced with the pressure of implementing changes ever more quickly.

Now these centralized data architectures can no longer keep pace with the dynamic and technical requirements of decentralized business domains.
