A common trend among DataWeek award recipients is that most of these technologies are available online and "as-a-service", offering data technology to even small businesses and startups. This is a big change from the past decades of data technology, where customers would require large up-front payments and intensive on-site installation. The new trend of lightweight low-cost plug-and-play data technology arises from a new focus on software-as-a-service, data-as-a-service, and analytics-as-a-service.
