96%1 say data pipeline issues delay AI initiatives and directly impact AI accuracy. They cite data pipeline reliability, accuracy, and resiliency as critical success factors for AI projects.


 

Generative AI and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) have raised the stakes for data delivery. Your AI models are only as good as the data feeding them. If the pipeline from your mainframe or ERP fails, so does your decision-making ability. With Automation by Broadcom, you gain an intelligent control plane that unifies the entire lifecycle. From traditional ETL/ELT processing to modern vector embedding—connect your systems of record with your systems of intelligence to deliver trusted, compliant data.

Common Data Pipeline Challenges

The Systems of Record to Systems of Intelligence Gap

Your most valuable data often lives in "systems of record"—Mainframes, SAP, and Oracle. However, moving this data into modern platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, Vector DBs) for AI and Analytics is often manual and brittle, creating a disconnect between historical data and modern innovation.

Fragile Pipelines Undermine Reliability

As data pipelines grow more complex—spanning on-premise ETL and cloud ingestion—they become harder to troubleshoot. A failure in a foundational legacy job can silently corrupt downstream AI models or analytics, leading to "Data Drift" and mistrust in business insights.

The Airflow Explosion

Apache Airflow has become the standard for data science, but it has led to a "paradox of success." Organizations now manage dozens of fragmented Airflow instances. This creates blind spots where Operations cannot see or manage the dependencies between corporate data standards and data science experiments.

Manual Processing Slows Time-to-Value

Islands of automation require manual scripting to bridge the gap between platforms. This latency is unacceptable today. Whether it is refreshing a BI dashboard or updating the context window for a RAG model, manual processing slows the speed of business.

The Intelligent Control Plane: Orchestrate, Predict, Govern
