Data preparation involves organizing, cleaning and unifying data into one place so that it can be used for analysis. Data prep tools are often deployed to help organizations work with data that is inconsistent and unstructured. These solutions are often used alongside data integration and processing software when combining data from multiple sources.

Constellation outlines the evolution of this space, explaining the emergence of self-service tools that enable data and analytics professionals access to more data. Data preparation tools support data discovery and exploration, as well as data blending and delivery to an increasingly diverse number of environments.
