“With Australian Government agencies relying more and more on data-driven decisions, they can no longer operate on data that has been stored for some time in data at rest systems,” said
Two recent Forrester reports recognised Confluent as a leader: The Forrester Wave™: Cloud Data Pipelines and The Forrester Wave™: Streaming Data Platforms, Q4 2023. As the latter states, “streaming data is the pulse of an enterprise.” Data Streaming Platforms have become a distinct category and a mission critical component of the data stack. What was once a nice-to-have, is now indispensable for any organisation to operate in real time.
Key advantages of Confluent’s complete data streaming platform include:
- Stream: With the transformative Kora engine, Confluent provides a reimagined data streaming experience that offers superior scale, elasticity, resilience, global availability and cost-efficiency across hybrid and multicloud architectures.
- Connect: Confluent’s ecosystem of zero code connectors comprises over 120 pre-built connectors, more than 70 fully managed connectors, and the flexibility to include Custom Connectors to simplify the integration of custom data sources and destinations. Confluent also facilitates convenient access to streaming data in various tools with native GUI based integrations.
- Process: Confluent provides native stream processing capabilities to join, filter, aggregate and enrich data continuously at the time of generation. This drives greater portability, consistency and reuse of the data while allowing downstream systems and applications to get the most enriched, up-to-date view.
- Govern: Confluent’s Stream Governance suite provides a simple, self-service experience for teams to discover, trust and understand their data while remaining compliant with evolving data regulations and security standards.
With Confluent, more Australian government agencies can:
- Provide data-rich government services based on enriched, high-quality data to deliver better citizen experiences;
- Be a connected government that gathers and shares data across departments, offices and agencies to advance its Data and Digital Government Strategy; and
- Elevate the nation’s cybersecurity vision by providing fast, actionable insights to policy makers, regulators and the justice system to ensure citizen safety.
