How We Do It
Platform Selection
The right combination
Building on your existing environment and data roadmap, we’ll help you choose the optimal data platforms and technologies for your specific needs.
CHALLENGE
There are dozens of platforms and technologies out there that access, persist, integrate, cleanse and analyze your data. What are the advantages and drawbacks of each? What is the cost difference? Which are less complex to implement? Which one is right for you?
OFFERING
We assess your organization’s specific needs and priorities through extensive interviews. This information helps us determine your “data roadmap”, including the platforms and technologies that will be most effective, easiest to use and maintain, and maximize your budget.
Which database or document store platforms does your organization currently use? Which will best lend themselves to your future data needs: Microsoft, Oracle, Hadoop, or Mongo? Which data management tools will be the most effective and efficient for you: Informatica, Talend, Mulesoft? What about data governance and Master Data Management? Will your data discovery be more effective through Tableau or Qlik? Should you seek advanced analytics in Python or R? What about SAS? We’ll take you through the pros and cons of each option, considering their relative capabilities, total cost of ownership, time to implement, and long-term viability, to ensure that you make choices that are aligned both with your organization’s present state, and its future.
Further to helping you make the right selection, we are also resellers of the technologies we determined to be best-in-class and would gladly work with you to help you acquire the software through us at a more competitive price.
