Data Insights

Data Insights helps transform disparate data into actionable insights that keep you aligned with your business objectives.

 

Extending beyond the conventional practices of merely storing and cataloging data in data lakes or warehouses, our comprehensive offering goes the extra mile by incorporating interactive dashboards, visualizations, and detailed reports. This multifaceted approach is crafted to empower your organization not only to manage data effectively but also to gain valuable insights that propel you ahead of the curve, facilitating informed and strategic decision-making.

At the heart of our offering is the emphasis on transforming raw data into actionable intelligence. The interactive dashboards provide a user-friendly interface, allowing stakeholders to dynamically explore and interact with data. This not only enhances accessibility but also enables users to derive meaningful insights in real-time. The visualizations further amplify the understanding of complex datasets, translating intricate information into easily digestible formats. Whether it’s identifying trends, patterns, or outliers, our visualizations empower users at all levels to grasp the nuances of data effortlessly.

The Data Insights process is divided into 3 phases: 

Phase 1: Discovery

  • Configuration of AWS Glue of data cataloging and ETL
  • Integrating AWS Athena for serverless querying
  • Adding AWS EMR for big data processing (optional)
  • Ingesting and configuring the data lake/warehouse
  • Extracting, transforming, and loading data with AWS Glue 
  • Managing the data catalog and metadata
  • Setting up data governance and access control per best practices

Data Warehouse

warehouse
  • Configuration of Amazon Redshift for data storage and querying
