What is Data Preparation Software?

Data preparation software helps businesses and organizations clean, transform, and organize raw data into a format suitable for analysis and reporting. These tools automate the data wrangling process, which typically involves tasks such as removing duplicates, correcting errors, handling missing values, and merging datasets. Data preparation software often includes features for data profiling, transformation, and enrichment, enabling data teams to enhance data quality and consistency. By streamlining these processes, data preparation software accelerates the time-to-insight and ensures that business intelligence (BI) and analytics applications use high-quality, reliable data.
