Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a data lake and a data warehouse?

Data lakes keep and support all data types, including unstructured data such as videos. A data warehouse focuses on structured data for a specific user base. It is generally geared towards analytics for business decisions.

Should we build our data platform on-premise or in the cloud?

The cloud offers a range of benefits, but every business has different priorities. We offer the right solution for your business and provide a range of cloud-based solutions, on-premise, or a mixture of both.

How can my organisation get rid of data silos?

A data silo is a set of isolated data that is difficult to process for decision making. It's important to have a clear data strategy to:

  • Unify data management systems
  • Change the company culture towards a shared data approach
  • Identify data integration capabilities
  • Prevent the accumulation of data silos
  • Set clear guidance and data governance.

How important is data quality?

There are several benefits associated with data quality including:

  • Data accuracy
  • Completeness of data
  • Data relevancy
  • Data validity
  • Timeliness of data
  • Data consistency.

How long does it take to set up a modern data platform?

Data preparation accounts for around 80 per cent of the work. Building a modern data platform is a long-term initiative. Requirements and the ecosystem will be a moving target. It's important to have a roadmap that reflects a direction and defines milestones for small wins along the way. It’s a good practice to review the roadmap often. It will help the initiative stay on top of targets, reset expectations, and mitigate risks.

What is a data architecture?

A data architecture defines the processes to capture, transform, and deliver usable data to users.
