A Conceptual Framework for Enhancing Business Data Insights with Automated Data Transformation in Cloud Systems

The ability to derive actionable insights from large and complex datasets has become increasingly critical for businesses seeking to maintain a competitive edge in today’s data-driven environment. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for enhancing business data insights through automated data transformation in cloud systems. The framework integrates cloud computing, machine learning, and real-time data processing to automate the data transformation lifecycle, from ingestion and cleaning to analysis. Through an extensive review of existing literature and industry use cases, the paper highlights the challenges businesses face in extracting meaningful insights from traditional data management systems and illustrates how the proposed framework addresses these issues by automating the transformation process. Key components of the framework, including data ingestion, transformation engines, and analytics layers, are discussed in detail, demonstrating how they work together to improve data quality, scalability, and decision-making. Real-world applications from industries such as finance, retail, and healthcare underscore the practical benefits of the framework. Finally, the paper explores the implications of adopting this framework for business practice and proposes directions for future research in the fields of AI-driven data transformation and workforce adaptation. The implementation of this framework is expected to empower businesses to make faster, more accurate data-driven decisions, thus enhancing their agility and competitive advantage in an increasingly dynamic market.
