What needs and requirements we help to address
Whether already appling data science and machine learning to business process
automation or starting data-driven transformation, your company’s needs are in
some layers of the ‘ML layers pyramid’ below or even across the entire pyramid.
Our DataFactory products and Learning Tracks training programs will likely
match some of the business cases that you address in DS/ML projects.
Please read about the mission of our company.
DataFactory Azure
DataFactory Azure leverages the power of Azure cloud databases and apps
beyond DataFactory Enterprise whilst shifting the paradigm from
ownership to usership and keeping maintenance costs low.
The data storage component is built upon the
Common Data Model
schema to handle data from enterprise data sources like CRM, ERP, etc.
Data pipelines are powered by
Azure Data Factory,
customizable apps by Power Apps.
DataFactory Azure is a proper match if:
- your company is in lending, insurance, retail and wants to leverage the power of machine learning to optimize operations
- you want to use ML apps as a service without the hassle of building complex IT infrastructure or hiring a team of data scientists
- there are multiple data sources from business applications like ERP and CRM that need to be put to good use in predictive modeling
- you prefer to rely on industry-standard data storage solutions with no costly vendor lock-ins and want to avoid custom-developed DWH
DataFactory Enterprise
DataFactory Enterprise is an on-premises data factory that covers the entire data life cycle from raw data processing to model deployment inside SQL Server and its SSIS, SSAS and ML Server components.
It could be the right option if:
- you prefer to handle data in-house in a traditional way
- you have a team of SQL Server developers and DBAs to develop and maintain
- you want existing data infrastructure to be less costly, more streamlined, cohesive and easy to administer
- you seek reliable instruments to build data pipelines and deploy predictive models and would like to avoid building custom-built data pipelines in Python or Scala using open-source components
DataStore Community
DataStore Community, an open-source edition of DataFactory Enterprise,
is a light-weight database based on the DataStore schema
and populated with data from credit bureau reports.
- you want to store data from credit report XML files in a designated data silo
- you need to integrate data from multiple business applications into a unified
data silo for DS/ML projects, and have the resources to try and test the
DataStorefor that purpose - you have the resources to develop your own data pipelines using Microsoft’s cloud and on-premises tools such as SSIS and Azure Data Factory.
Learning Tracks
We teach the same curriculum and use the same code that we use ourselves
for developing our DataFactory products.
