Acquisition & Storage
Acquiring data is a process that encompasses capture of business events and persisting them for future processing. Making sure all relevant information is captured in a structured format, and is persisted reliably.
BI Integration
Business Intelligence tools need access to all data to provide the most value. Where only a few years ago all relevant data was in one big relational database, today it often lives across different systems. Many systems provide different ways of accessing the data, from providing full SQL support to custom API and format requirements. Managing the different data sources in a BI tool becomes a challenge.
Real Time Stream Processing
Businesses operate on a 24/7 schedule, and they collect data continuously. So why should you wait to make key decisions until data is loaded? Increasingly real time systems are built for data ingestion, integration, analysis, machine learning, and decision support. These systems support low latencies even when operating at the scale of millions of transactions per second.
Schema Management
Data has structure, and that structure is encoded in a schema. As the structure evolves with changing business requirements, so should the schema. The schema serves not only as documentation to the business analysts for the shape of the data, but also enforces the applications to provide valid records.
ETL Pipelines
For data to flow between systems and be readily available for analysis, ETL pipelines are a well established solution.
Interactive SQL
SQL knowledge is prevalent in the industry, but many tools don’t support it directly. Fortunately there are many systems that enable interactive SQL over a variety of data sources. Open source products like Impala, Hive, Presto, and Drill integrate well with BI tools to perform analytical queries over sources that are otherwise difficult to connect.
Recommendation Engines
Providing product recommendations is a proven way to improve user experience and increase conversions. Recommendation algorithms are very sophisticated, and are able to sift through massive amounts of interaction data to find underlying correlations.
Predictive Analytics
Using accumulated data and modern algorithms, AI can predict user churn, purchase likelihood, lifetime value, customer behavior, and more. Generated results can be used to drive marketing campaigns, feed into A/B testing segmentation, or provide insightful reporting.
Inference
The more information you have about your customers, the better the service you can provide to them. However, you sometimes don’t have as much information as you want. In those cases machine learning can infer some information with a certain probability.
AWS Consulting
Amazon Web Services provides dozens of services, which can be daunting and difficult to navigate when building a new cloud offering or migrating into the cloud. We help you navigate the landscape of AWS products to chose the ones that are right for you, and redesign your applications around them.
Cloud Deployment
Fundamental difference between hosted and cloud services is that the cloud servers tend to be viewed as ephemeral. Deployment becomes critical, as new servers need to be able to be provisioned at any time to be fully ready. This requires a shift in deployment strategy to fully automated build processes.
Monitoring & Security
Both security and monitoring are essential in a public cloud deployment. Traditional on-premises approaches don’t typically translate well into the cloud, and providers offer alternative solutions, which have to be integrated into your applications.
Application Development
Android and iOS are now the world’s dominant operating systems. Your applications should work on them. With dozens of applications, we have the full spectrum of mobile experience to develop your mobile applications.
Mobile Analytics
Its critical to understand how customers are using your applications. Which features are they interacting with? What time of day do they typically use it? Are they using it while connected to WiFi, or on slow cellular connection? How much time are they spending in the application? What is the median load time? These, and many other questions are essential for your business to understand if you want to continue to serve your mobile customers.
AB Testing
Making data driven decisions sometimes requires experiments to know which option is better. We help set up AB testing infrastructure and run individual tests.
Performance optimization
Slow applications lead to abandonment and customer loss. Optimizing performance on mobile applications involves a combination of using data to find bottlenecks, code profiling, and application redesign for better user experience.
