Start treating your data like one of your most valuable assets. In the past, data analytics was simply viewed as passive information on a dashboard or scorecard. Today, it’s absolutely crucial for gaining competitive advantages, so it’s vital to determine where your organization stands and where to focus.
CoStrategix will get you started and navigate these complicated options. We handle every step from consulting through engineering and execution, with a singular focus on improved business outcomes.
Data & Analytics isn’t just about data visualization tools. There are a few different core areas to get data and analytics right. CoStrategix will work with your organization to practically apply these core concepts, helping you make long-term investment decisions that lead to better operational efficiencies, new revenue growth, and reduced risks.
Clearly understand your options and how to define your Data & Analytics initiative
Make data accessible and available to various data users at the right time.
Use dashboards to make
data actionable and drive operational efficiencies
Your organization needs high-quality data that is systematically governed to drive business outcomes. The following areas lead to a higher level of maturity of your Data & Analytics program.
A solid data governance foundation ensures the quality of your data, giving you the confidence to make informed business decisions.
Infuse intelligent data insights into your applications and products. Build data services that drive new revenue streams or create market advantages.
In defining your Data & Analytics strategy, our experts look at the horizon and form a practical plan to get there. We tap into our knowledge of various technologies and platforms, cross-pollination of ideas and use-cases with other industries and verticals and create a defined strategy for your organization, with detailed roadmaps and investments required to get to that future state.
The strategy engagement is a focused, efficient and productive workshop, customized for your needs with very tangible deliverables with a stated budget and a timeline. Avoid wasted investments and failed projects as you drive analytics and a data-mindset within your organization.
DATA ENGINEERINGData Engineering is a critical competency that is often overlooked or improperly executed, making it difficult to derive meaningful insights from your data and leading to lack of trust and low return on investments. CoStrategix brings thought leadership and best practices to create rightsized Data Engineering solutions that keep data flowing to everyone in your organization, creating valuable insights and driving a data-mindset to every aspect of your enterprise.
Technologies and architecture used to implement a data warehouse have evolved dramatically even in the past couple years. CoStrategix helps by applying cloud data services, building future-proof, highly scalable, pay-as-you-go, extensible solutions that not only keep your business operating at peak efficiencies, but also drive net-new revenue streams.
Old-school data warehouses, once just a system of reports meant to ensure checks and balances, are being replaced with new systems that drive insights across organizations. Using yesterday’s outdated technologies to drive today’s analytical insights is going to be slow and unproductive. CoStrategix modernizes data warehouses with updated technologies to drive agility, provide news ways to illustrate insights, and drive action.
Today, organizations are attempting to centralize valuable data assets in large data stores, and many are considering cloud as a strategy for implementing these options. CoStrategix can help with defining a comprehensive cloud strategy which includes moving applications to the cloud, re-architecting them while addressing security, business continuity, and other critical scenarios.
Implementing a modern data platform is just the beginning. To drive complex and mission-critical business processes, we need to rapidly and routinely extract data sets, then analyze and deliver insights, typically in a feedback-driven, cyclical loop. Without this competency, there is a risk of never reaching your data platform’s true potential, leading to suboptimal ROIs and even a negative reversal of well-intended strategies. CoStrategix brings an operations mindset — an agile, collaborative and change-friendly approach to managing data pipelines, collaborating with business stakeholders and reducing the cycle time of value capture with analytics.
Data AnalyticsYour organization has valuable data hidden in various systems and Excel spreadsheets. The challenge is to make it “actionable.” As humans we’re not good at making sense of tabular data. But CoStrategix makes sense of it all through storytelling and design and visualization tools that ultimately drives an organization data-mindset. We also use Machine Learning to create advanced insights and drive business outcomes.
Driving data literacy and a data mindset within your organization is difficult and leads to limited engagement with visualization tools. We help bring a “data storytelling approach” coupled with design and end-to-end implementation to cross the barriers and drive action based on data insights.
Machine Learning (ML) is a discipline of artificial intelligence that involves using mathematical models to extract knowledge and insights from data. CoStrategix has developed numerous ML models that help identify right-use cases, framing the problem so we can apply mathematical models and deploy the solution for day-to-day decision making.
Data GovernanceYou can’t apply Data & Analytics and exploit business opportunities if you can’t trust the quality of the data. To drive business insights fast and predictably, you need a set of principles and metrics that ensure your data is effective. CoStrategix will implement data governance practices along with supporting competencies in data quality, data catalogs and other key areas.
Your general business practices won’t ensure data and analytics effectiveness — you need an “intentional” approach that is unique to your organization. CoStrategix works with your IT and business stakeholders to orchestrate the people, processes and technology required to manage
critical data assets. We help define roles, responsibilities, policies and procedures to ensure that data is accurate, consistent, secure and aligns with your overall business objectives.
Multiple criteria determine the quality of your data and determine if it will can effectively provide insights to be used in decision-making. CoStrategix can help measure data quality and optimize objective measures such as accuracy, consistency, completeness, and more, in including subjective measures such as relevancy, interpretability, etc. for your organization.
If your organization has multiple distributed data sources, it’s challenging to find, inventory and analyze vast and diverse data sets. We can implement data catalogs that maintain an inventory of all data assets and help in discovery and organization. Using data catalogs helps stakeholders who consume data to extract insights faster.
Data PRODUCTSData & Analytics insights open opportunities for monetization that lead to new revenue streams. Information-driven products create customer value propositions leading to significant competitive advantages. CoStrategix brings competencies to build product platforms, applications or just data
services to deliver such advantages.
Turn data assets into results by conceptualizing products, building proof-of-concepts to gauge market interest, getting validation and creating a product platform buildout. CoStrategix can help craft transformation strategies using Data & Analytics and help execute it in measured ways.
Stay ahead of the curve by infusing intelligence and predictive features directly into your applications and products. CoStrategix can help define and rationalize use cases, build proof-of-
concepts, provide validations and implementation that lead to application features yielding significant differentiation and competitive advantages.
To help deliver insights to the right people at the right time and drive action, Data & Analytics must
be baked into standard interactions people have with systems in their daily work. We can help
embed abilities to “slice and dice” data and provide insights within your existing applications.
