Transform a flood of data from multiple streams into a single, navigable data lake that delivers real business value.
Time was you could invest in a single operational database or CRM system and that would be a single source of truth for all your business information. In today’s data age, your single source of truth is now blind to many essential facts.
Real-time data from websites, social accounts, IoT devices,internal facility management and production systems are just some of the truths that can be added to your traditional business systems to create a broader, more nuanced and detailed picture of what is happening in your organisation.
How can you bring these diverse data sources together in a way that will enable you to unleash the value of the data?
A data lake is designed to hold structured and unstructured data; enabling you to pool data from these myriad sources in such a way that it can be catalogued, optimised and queried to deliver new and innovative insights for your business.
In this way, a data lake isn’t a replacement for your existing data warehouse but, rather, a new solution for capturing the data and enabling you to think freely and drive novel insights that have the potential to transform your business:
With Amazon Web Services (AWS), a data lake isn’t a specific product or even set of products. AWS offers an architecture pattern and guidance to define what a data lake should be and do. Users can use pre existing AWS technologies to deliver data lake functionality.
As a result, there are numerous ways to approach a data lake project on AWS.While this gives users the freedom to configure a solution that closely matches their needs, it can be a real challenge for inexperienced team members who haven’t built a data lake on AWS before.With multiple ways to achieve it, building a data lake on AWS can seem deceptively simple. However, building a data lake that is functional, secure and easy to use isn’t so straight forward.Accessing expert assistance is, therefore, vital.

Our approach combines our proven methodology with best-in-class tools that deliver essential functionality and orchestration capabilities. You can augment this with our other customised services, such as data or application cloud migration. This way, you gain a tailored solution that matches your needs precisely.
