Data as a service (DaaS) is a data management strategy and deployment model that uses cloud technology to supply a variety of data-related services like storage, processing, and analytics.
Rather than being a single vendor technology DaaS is an architectural design. therefore, information is stored in the cloud and is accessible through different devices. The service also offloads the downsides of data management to the cloud provider, and it can be used by multiple business teams and department to improve processes, including marketing, sales, supply chain and inventory management.
Benefits of DaaS in a company
