Architecture and platform strategy

Laying the foundation for your data universe by choosing the right platform

Data, Analytics & AI

Making company data available

Once the basis is established with the use-case assessment, the data & analytics platform forms the foundation of successful data-driven companies. The goal is to provide the data in the required form and making it usable, and thus making the application cases tangible in order to bring competitive advantages.

In addition to the descriptive and diagnostic examination of historical data, modern data and analytics platforms also enable profound analytical methods, e.g. prescriptive and predictive methods, risk exposure, fraud analysis, and many other applications.

We support companies in facing the challenges of the “analytics platform” and in meeting the necessary procedural, organisational and technological challenges in an appropriate manner.

Our building blocks for your success

Platform strategy

The decision to adopt an enterprise-wide data & analytics platform is one of the crucial IT decisions an organisation can make. It includes profound implications for your organisation and processes, in addition to technological decisions. The focusis always on your company's individual goals and requirements for a data & analytics platform.

We support companies comprehensively in facing this challenge and in mastering the necessary procedural, organisational as well as technological challenges.

Use-case assesment

A use-case assesment is used to understand your problem and your requirements as well as to define them jointly. After all, a collaboratively coordinated and enhanced understanding of your requirements is the foundation for the successful modelling of a customised solution approach.

Platform architecture

Whether planning a brand new solution or integrating a new solution into an existing one, the focus is on the functional requirements for the new platform and how they can be covered with the right technical implementation. We support you in working out the right platform architecture taking into account all technological, process-related and organisational aspects.

Further on, one or more technologies will have to be selected, i.e. a cloud-based, hybrid or on premise solution, as the basis for a platform architecture that fits with the goals of your company and your IT strategy in the long term.

Platform assesment
