Word of the Day Daily updates on the latest technology terms | May 12, 2020 DataOps DataOps (data operations) is a business strategy that seeks to ensure an organization's data can be used in the most flexible, effective manner possible in order to achieve positive business outcomes.

It emphasizes communication and collaboration and its adoption is intended to foster a culture of continuous improvement supported by best practices.   DataOps grew out of a need for businesses to provide internal support for data governance and data-driven business projects.
