To the next Level –

Passion for data

A few years ago, the world of analytical data processing was still quite straightforward: software suites from established vendors were used for the traditional topics of data warehousing, business intelligence and reporting. Specialized vendors were on the market with high-performance database solutions for the mass data of retail companies and telecommunications providers. And for the supporting data mining and statistical analysis, there was a manageable selection of specialized software packages.

But then came topics such as Digital Transformation, Industry 4.0, Big Data, Internet of Things, Artifical Intelligence, Machine Learning and Cloud Computing – and this area experienced a new, unprecedented dynamic. Suddenly it was said: “The fast beat the slow.”, “Data is the gold of the 21st century.”, “Artificial Intelligence is democratized.”, “Everything is getting smart.”. Didn’t you also feel a diffuse pressure there to act now and immediately in order to be competitively positioned for the future?

At the same time, it was (and still is) almost impossible to get a fully informed overall picture. What is (just) hype, which promises are made, which of them are kept? Which platforms and tools, services and concepts are really required and how can they be combined in a useful way? Which statements (and predictions) of established strategy consultants with their striking glossy slides should one rely on? Which of the many enterprise architects have real practical experience to be able to foresee the consequences of their recommendations?

It is precisely in this challenging overall situation that it is important for you and your company to have a trusted and competent partner and companion at your side. Preferably someone who, on the one hand, is highly agile and already “at the forefront” today, but, on the other hand, experienced enough not to blindly follow every new trend. This combination of knowledge, skills and experience – which enables us to question everything constructively-critically, to evaluate competently and to communicate transparently – that is our passion, that is us, that is initions!

That is your question,

this is our solution

Have you already considered building a data platform or have you already started this initiative? Are you currently asking yourself whether you have chosen the right architecture and the appropriate components? Four eyes see more than two: Would you like an expert review of your current situation or your current project progress?

Your grown architecture is out-dated or needs to be upgraded to the next best release due to support and maintenance reasons? Should these systems co-exist with possible new platforms? And if so, how can such a hybrid scenario look like?

Your business and / or a corporate strategy demand new solutions. How can these be realized with state-of-the-art technologies? Which components solve which questions? And how can these approaches be integrated and operated sustainably and efficiently?

Are there decentralization tendencies and a demand for self-service in your business? What concepts for collaboration, responsibilities, processes, governance, organization and architecture are required?

Questions upon questions. You need a competent partner who can provide answers and guidance. Talk to us!
