Open source file and table formats have garnered much interest in the data industry because of their potential for interoperability — unlocking the ability for many technologies to safely operate over a single copy of data. Greater interoperability not only reduces the complexity and costs associated with using many tools and processing engines in parallel, but it would also reduce potential risks associated with vendor lock-in.

Software engineers use a well-defined and systematic approach to develop software, and this strategy is thought to be the most efficient one for creating high-quality software. Software engineer challenges are common despite using a systematic approach to software development. For instance, the "build once, deploy everywhere" paradigm, in which a single application can run across various platforms, is now more frequently used to guide software engineering initiatives.
