Dataflow is the movement of information in a system and how it is used in that system in order to achieve goals and fulfilling the purpose of the business. For a company in the current market, information is an essential element in its development, because information technology is what gives form to businesses today and stablishes its speediness, the customer’s requests, the process and activity quality, etc. Thus, improving dataflow means to improve the information flow and its consequences in the appropriate development of business.
For that reason, companies today must choose software solutions that allow to manage dataflow in a trustworthy way. These solutions must be able to transform the data into relevant information and also to make the information velocity to remain stable in spite of the analysis made by the solution. Dataflow also has to be correct because communication between systems is based on it. A deficient dataflow in a company means a deficient workflow, which affects customer satisfaction and the competitiveness of the company.
Research on dataflow is an important element today in investigations on physics, economy, systems, astronomy, medicine and in all kinds of technological developments (Milutinovic & Kotlar, 2019).
