Rapid Connection of Data to Insights
Our Approach
The modern data stack comprises of multiple applications interconnected by a network of custom and native APIS. Within the same stack, data lakes, warehouses, etc. also serve as a connection point for all applications. This approach is common and the result of organic growth over time as business scale and bring in new tools or go through acquisitions. However, it’s also creates conditions for duplicate workflows, inconsistencies for customer data, and a lack of visibility across the buyer journey. Moreover, as business requirements change the data chaos is magnified as teams are consistently spending time trying to stitch data from across data stores just for business insights.
Our approach involves building a data foundation based on the core ideas of a data mesh.
Domain ownership - By identifying the sources of truth or authoritative source of a information, we can build a master record for reference
Data as a product - By combining data from multiple sources, the output or “mesh” becomes a data product that can be used by any data consumer
Self-serve data platform - It’s important the structure allows for multiple users to access the data products without heavy reliance on IT
Federated computational governance - Governance policies should be able to be applied to entire groups of applications and not just oneWe understand that data is the lifeblood of any business. Effective data management involves collecting, storing, and organizing data from various sources, including customer interactions, sales transactions, and marketing campaigns.
Our Process
Roadmap - We thoroughly analyze your organization's technology infrastructure, systems, and processes, focusing on aligning them with your business goals and objectives.
Based on this analysis, we develop a comprehensive roadmap that outlines our recommendations for creating a data foundation. Our roadmap may include suggestions for upgrading systems, implementing new technology, or streamlining processes to enhance your organization's efficiency and productivity.
Sources & Data Outcomes - To ensure the accuracy and consistency of your data, we establish "sources of truth" - the authoritative data sources that could be stored in customer interactions, sales transactions, marketing campaigns, CRM, etc. within your organization. We work with your team to develop a comprehensive data schema, rules for data management, and associations of data objects. The end result are data products that can be leveraged by reporting tools or other applications for demand generation, personalization, etc.
Implementation - Implementing new systems can be a complex and challenging process for any organization. Our goal is to build upon the existing network without the need to rip and replace complex systems already in place. This allows for rapid prototyping and solutioning without interfering with existing data flows. We then work with you to implement these systems, ensuring they are fully functional and seamlessly integrated with your existing workflows.
Support - Continuous monitoring and support are essential to ensure the long-term success of your new systems. Our team provides comprehensive training to ensure your team can effectively manage the new environment. We work closely with your staff, providing extensive training to ensure team members have the knowledge and skills to maintain and optimize the new systems, minimizing the risk of downtime and maximizing productivity.
In addition, we offer ongoing support services to ensure that your systems continue to run smoothly. Our support services include regular system maintenance, updates, and troubleshooting, ensuring your systems remain secure, up-to-date, and fully operational.
