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. Data prep is particularly useful when reporting on data that was captured manually. It’s equally vital during mergers and acquisitions, and when siloed data systems are being brought together.<\/p>\n

In that spirit, we\u2019ve turned our gaze to the future of data preparation. Whether its inclusion in a recent analyst report, the release of an innovative new tool, or a bump in venture funding, these are the providers that have earned watch list status for the year ahead.<\/p>\n
