Data Foundations

AI, personalisation, strategic decisions, data products and a data-driven business: do you know what these have in common? They all rely on data. Every analytics journey starts with laying strong Data Foundations.

Once done, it provides a backbone that affects everyone in your business. It enables Data Analysts to quickly discover insights in data, allows Data Scientists to build predictive models and lets Data Engineers focus on enriching data. Good Data Foundations enable everyone in the company to make data-driven decisions and positively impact every decision step.

Our Data Foundations Lead, Nicolas, talks about data platforms for self-service BI & industrialisation of Data Science and Machine Learning.

Your modern data platform

Taking the time to plan and build your Data Foundations is an investment and a multiplier of the success for your business. We are here to support you from start to finish. So, how do we start? It all begins with building a modern data platform, which consists of mapping every possible data source and putting it into a suitable storage.

Once the right data is in the right place, we need a workspace where the data can be accessed and analysed. The final missing component is tools that deliver the insights to the right audience – whether it is financial reports for the CFO or the number of new customers for the marketing squad.

Data Platforms

A performant data platform enables your organization to make the most out of your data. Modern data platforms are flexible and will only provide the amounts of storage and computation power you need. Data is at the ready for the ones who need it, allowing for more efficient dashboarding, real-time analytics, data science use-cases, deployment of machine learning models, etc.

Data Engineering

In a modern organization, data is not simply flowing from A to B anymore. To extract maximal value from your data, large and small volumes of data are constantly transformed and moved among different applications.

Industrialization of DS/ML

Data, and data science in general, is rapidly becoming an important aspect in any organisation. And just like you want a clean, organised kitchen to work in, it is essential to prevent a sprawl of machine learning models, datasets and scripts in your environment.

Scalable and maintainable

There is an abundance of tools that help us build Data Foundations. Cloud providers such as AWS, Azure or GCP, with a complete offering from storage to automation tools, frameworks for data pipelines, job orchestration, data quality controls or data visualisation. But it doesn’t end here!

We must ensure that the architecture is robust, scalable and maintainable as well, and that it complies with best practices in security and disaster recovery. That’s why we are here to work together, guide you through the jungle and choose the solutions that fit your needs.

Transparant procedures

The last missing part of strong Data Foundations are processes and procedures. Transparent work management and the right collaboration tools speed up your development process and reduce ambiguity. Automation tools take away tedious manual work. Versioning and monitoring make product development and tracking experiments infinitely easier. Finally, the continuous integration and deployment of your ideas will result in immediate feedback from your customers.
