Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are designed to streamline business operations by centralizing data across an organization. However, extracting and utilizing this data can be a complex and time-consuming process. One solution to this problem is the use of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), which allow you to get data out of ERP systems and other software applications.

Since Snowflake’s Dynamic Tables went into preview, we have worked with hundreds of customers to understand the challenges they faced producing high-quality data quickly and at scale. The No. 1 pain point: Data pipelines are becoming increasingly complex. This rising complexity is a result of myriad factors.

We've just rolled out new trigger controls and enhanced YAML syntax so you can initiate your builds with unmatched precision.

"The whole is more than the sum of its parts." Aristotle is credited with this quote, and it's true in the world of data. Legacy systems typically approached their role in a limited manner. Each system was intended to be used by a certain user set and handle well-defined processes and associated data. The result was a disintegrated environment with data being difficult to obtain, and frequently out of date. The parts couldn't easily cooperate to make a whole.

Despite the transformative potential of AI, a large number of finance teams are hesitating, waiting for this emerging technology to mature before investing.

Finance has always been considered risk averse, so it is perhaps unsurprising to see that AI adoption in finance significantly lags other departments.

When you’re ready to make the transition from manual testing to test automation, it’s natural to consider hiring. A QA engineer — who has the technical skills to write and maintain automated tests in an open-source framework — can take the burden of end-to-end test management off of your development team, allowing them to ship more code, faster. But hiring a good QA engineer is — often prohibitively — expensive.

At some point, anyone who has enjoyed using a computer has wondered if they could build their own app. But software development becomes intimidating fast if you’re not a programmer. Fortunately, there is a wide range of no-code platforms available today. Even in the enterprise, there’s demand for no-code development. As APIs have become one of the most important components of the modern application ecosystem, several no-code API solutions are now available.
