our strategic approach to big data analytics deployment

Understand Business and Reporting Needs

Our data engineering process begins with a thorough understanding of your business needs and business intelligence (BI) reporting requirements. This step involves identifying the key metrics, refresh frequency, and the specific reports needed to drive decision-making within your organization.

Identify and Access Data Sources

We then identify the right data sources and obtain access to the underlying systems. This involves collaboration with various departments to ensure all relevant data is considered, whether it's from CRM, ERP, web analytics, or other sources.

Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL)

In this step, we extract the data from the identified sources, transform it to fit the required format and structure, and load it into appropriate storage solutions such as databases, data lakes, and data warehouses. Our ETL process is designed to handle both structured and unstructured data, ensuring comprehensive data integration.

Check for Retroactive Updates

We test for retroactive data updates to ensure data integrity. This involves identifying any overlap periods and performing upserts or replacements as necessary to maintain accurate and up-to-date datasets.

Create Data Assets and Products

We focus on creating reusable data assets and products. These are designed to be utilized multiple times across various departments, maximizing their value and utility. This includes creating standardized data sets, dashboards, and other BI tools.

Develop APIs and Web Interfaces

To encourage data consumption, we develop APIs and web interfaces. These interfaces allow for easy access to the data products, whether through reports, API endpoints, files, emails, or other means. This ensures that the data is readily available to all stakeholders, enhancing operational efficiency.

Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance

Finally, we provide ongoing monitoring and maintenance of the data infrastructure. This includes regular updates, performance optimization, and ensuring compliance with data governance standards. Our goal is to maintain a high-quality and high availability data environment that supports continuous business growth and innovation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is big data analytics?

“Big data” typically refers to datasets that are so large, complex, and rapidly changing that they are difficult to manage and analyze using traditional data processing tools. The term is not only about the size but also encompasses the variety, velocity, and veracity of the data. Here are the key characteristics that usually define big data:

  1. Volume: The size of the data sets is massive, often ranging from terabytes to petabytes and beyond.
  2. Velocity: The speed at which new data is generated and needs to be processed is extremely high. This can include real-time data processing requirements.
  3. Variety: Big data comes in various forms—structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. This includes everything from texts and multimedia to logs and sensors.
  4. Veracity: The quality and accuracy of data can vary greatly, impacting the insights derived from it.
  5. Value: The ability to turn large datasets into valuable insights that can be used to make informed decisions.

In practical terms, big data often involves the integration of data from multiple sources that provides businesses the opportunity to uncover hidden patterns, unknown correlations, and other insights that can lead to more informed decision-making and strategic business moves.

What is the role of big data in a company?

Big data plays a crucial role in enabling companies to enhance operations, provide better customer service, drive personalized marketing strategies, and ultimately increase profitability by making data-driven decisions.

  2. Scalability: You need the flexibility to scale operations up or down based on project demands without long-term commitments.
  3. Expertise on Demand: You require immediate access to a broad range of expertise and advanced technologies that are not core to your business.
  4. Risk Mitigation: Outsourcing can reduce the risk and investment required to set up and maintain an analytics infrastructure.
  5. Project Specificity: Your analytics needs are project-specific or you require occasional deep dives into data insights that in-house teams cannot justify economically.

Combined Approach:

Many companies find a hybrid approach effective, where strategic aspects of data analytics are managed in-house while more specialized or project-specific tasks are outsourced. This allows businesses to maintain control over core competencies while still leveraging external expertise for advanced analytics and technology.

Our services mainly cater to mid sized companies that have reached an inflection point where they can no longer effectively manage their operations, sales, marketing using Excel and Google Sheets. We cover the full spectrum of services such as data analytics consulting, data engineering, database administration, business intelligence and data science.

We can take care of the entire process of setting up an effective data analytics architecture from scratch or alternatively, however we can also help with targeted modular services.

For example, some of our customers have reached out to us when they needed to speed up the development and delivery of dashboards. As such, we have helped them with Business Intelligence development while they chose to keep data engineering capabilities in house.

We have also had customers contract us to build all the necessary pipelines and infrastructure to build a data warehouse from scratch.

We have extensive experience of managing PaaS deployments of MongoDB on Linux servers which, by our measurements, is one of the cheapest way to do Big Data Analytics for mid and large scale projects.

And we’re not talking 10-20% cheaper than cloud alternatives, we are taking 4-6 times cheaper.

We have worked with Affiliate Marketing, FMCG, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Transportation and Airlines, Logistics, SaaS and IT, Media and Advertising, Telecomm, Retail and Dealership companies.
