Data Ser­vices
- Empower your organisation to make data-driven decisions and leverage business


We support your data projects from idea to production.

Why



Data Services

 

We provide support for your data projects, as the exponential growth of data collection has led to the emergence of new ways to store, process, and derive insights in the past decade.

The prohibitive cost of boosting individual supercomputers' performance has led to a paradigm shift towards horizontal scaling, where multiple computers work in parallel, and leveraging cloud-based services for computing power, storage, and monitoring. In the context of data, this means using a cloud-based data warehouse in combination with a data lake, advanced analytics, and AI and ML components to deliver Data as a Service.

With the pay-as-you-go pricing option, you can optimise costs and dynamically scale your application capacity using on-demand resources, allowing you to scale up as your client base grows.

Cloud DWH




Why are we talking about this?

 

A modern cloud data warehouse (DWH) serves as a central building block for your data-driven company, forming the foundation for all aspects related to reporting and analytics. By leveraging a cloud data warehouse, you can unleash the power of the cloud across your entire data and analytics value chain. Take full advantage of the cloud by starting with a cloud data warehouse.

A cloud data warehouse enables modern Business Intelligence solutions by providing BI, AI, and ML tools with valuable, up-to-date data; it meets the ever-evolving demands for data storage, while offering flexibility, automation, and cost-effectiveness when compared to the static data silos often found in on-premise data warehouses. Cloud data warehouses seamlessly integrate into your cloud environment and are often integrated into a holistic analytics platform, which combines data lake, advanced analytics, AI, and ML components with a cloud data warehouse, thus offering a unified view of data and advanced analytics capabilities.

 


Business

Pay only for the resources you actually use, not for those you reserved in advance.

People and Organisation

A cloud data warehouse allows you to build a consolidated data source with a single-point-of-truth approach for all analyses, ensuring data timeliness according to your needs. You can also use targeted permissions to ensure that your team has access to the data they need, when they need it, regardless of location; it also enables new ways of working, like remote work and collaboration across different company locations.

Technology

A cloud data warehouse offers scalability, automatically scaling processing power and storage capabilities to meet your needs just in time. It also allows you to take advantage of Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) and DevOps practices to generate faster results through highly automated processes. And with a cloud data warehouse, you can leave the maintenance and administration of hardware to the cloud provider's experts, allowing you to fully focus on your data.



How we can help you

The journey to the cloud can be tricky, as old concepts need to be rethought and long-held beliefs challenged. With our many years of experience, we support you on your journey to your cloud DWH becoming an integral part of your analytics platform.

 

Our Advantages

Ana­lyt­i­cal Data Platform




Why are we talking about this?

 

Data science at scale: innovative companies strive for an AI factory to minimise the cycle time and cost of analytical models from ideation to production deployment. At the heart of these AI production lines lies an analytical data platform that provides essential processes, environments, and tools. Achieving competitive advantages through advanced analytics requires mature processes for the automated identification, development, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of advanced analytics models, and this can only be achieved through standardisation via use case blueprints, data and model governance (including data privacy), and efficient processes. The next crucial building block is the standardised implementation of sophisticated data integration processes through data pipelines. Remember that requirements for model development and deployment are distinct, so to effectively address all these requirements you need an analytical platform with extensive functionality, necessitating end-to-end integration into the system landscape of the respective customer.

 


Business

Data analysis opens the door to optimising existing business processes, saving costs or improving the customer journey. Data and data management are available centrally in one place, meaning significantly shorter deployment time for new projects, easier access permission management, firewall permissions already in place, etc.

People and Organisation

We ensure data privacy through the rigorous separation of machine learning development and machine learning operations; we also implement log management and notifications to track and log all data accesses, making them available for auditing purposes.

Technology

Deploy an automated data science workspace to accelerate model development: data ingestion is metadata-driven and there’s integration with a data catalogue to provide data pipelining as a service. Simplify machine learning operations using orchestration, AI modelling, and feedback loop services; integrate CI/CD pipelines for reliable, fast, and reproducible deployment of machine learning models, including integration into operational systems.

DWH on premises




Why are we talking about this?

 

The data warehouse (DWH) is the central building block for any data-driven company, whether hosted on premise or in the cloud. While new decentralised concepts like Data Mesh are gaining traction, the data warehouse is still needed by most companies to maintain a unified view of their data. However, migrating to the cloud may not always be feasible, so here at synvert we offer support for on-premise data warehousing during your DWH journey.
