Data Engineering

Data exactly where it is needed.

Create the foundation to unlock the potential of data across business units and applications within your organization.

Collect automatically

Collect data without human intervention.

Prepare in a consistent manner

Ensure data quality for value generation.

Consolidate centrally

Get the big picture and enable cross-domain access.

Challenge

Most data that companies collect is unstructured and stored in numerous different source systems that cannot communicate with each other. The big picture of the collected data is missing and cross-functional communication is sluggish and cumbersome. Generating value from your data in that situation is impossible.

Collect the right
Data in the right place.

Data engineering deals with collecting data from various sources, storing it and making it available for further use. It is the basis for unleashing the potential of data within your company across departments and applications.

No more manually updating Excel files and waiting for information to become available. Take control of your data and automate the repetitive work.

Together, we develop a customized digital solution that automatically pulls all the relevant data from the various sources, processes it uniformly and brings it to where it is needed. Without human intervention.

Data Engineering in
5 phases.

PHASE 0: LET’S CHAT

We love talking about data and potential use cases with Business Value. In an open, no-obligation conversation, we'd love to learn more about your current situation and needs. Together, we'll find out if data can add value to your business.

PHASE 1: REQUIREMENTS

Together, we define a target image of your desired solution. Together we sharpen the requirements, identify the affected surrounding systems and determine the necessary prerequisites. Based on this, we put together the optimal package to achieve the goal.

PHASE 2: DATA UNDERSTANDING

We get a detailed picture of your data in the business context as a basis for the technical implementation of the solution. Through discussions with experts from your company, we deepen our understanding of your data and the connection to your everyday business.

PHASE 3: MODELING

On the basis of data understanding we realize data pipelines, reports or prediction models. In regularly held project meetings, we bring you up to date and iteratively sharpen the path to the goal.

PHASE 4: VALIDATION

With feedback from your business experts, we validate your solution in terms of functionality and defined requirements. The modelling and validation phases are repeated until the solution meets your needs.

PHASE 5: DEPLOYMENT

We integrate the solution into your productive environment and show your employees how it can be used optimally. With the deployment we complete the solution, hand it over to you and ensure that all users have the necessary tools to use the solution in a valuable way.

FAQ –  Frequently asked questions about Data Engineering.

Data is information in a form that is readable by computers. Every interaction with your business is a potential source of data: Website clicks, customer feedback, even NOT clicking on one of your ads. Many applications such as ERP or CRM systems store data in a structured way in databases, which can be used as a data source. But there are also many unstructured data sources like office documents, images or social media comments.

Data engineering deals with collecting data from various sources, storing it and making it available for further use. It is the basis for unleashing the potential of data within your company across departments and applications.

You need a Data Engineer if your company already works with data in various sub-areas, but this data is not available in sufficient quality for use outside the source system or cannot be used across areas due to data silos.

Data Engineers deal with the collection and processing of data. Data scientists use this data to generate forecasts, find hidden relationships in data or process unstructured data streams such as images, text and sound.

Data engineers collect the right data and prepare it in such a way that it can be used across departments. In Business Intelligence, data is analyzed and patterns found in it are presented to the company's decision makers in an understandable way.
