The software industry is expected to undergo significant shifts in 2020, with a focus on time-stamped data becoming increasingly important, according to industry experts. This trend is driven by the need for enterprises to glean the full value of their business potential from their data. InfluxData CEO Evan Kaplan emphasizes the importance of having a specific strategy for time series data, stating that many enterprises will realize they need one in order to unlock their business potential. As a result, companies are expected to invest more in time-stamped data management and analysis tools, such as InfluxDB, which offers a powerful time series database as a service.
