Data engineering strategies that deliver results

Prepare your data for AI

The success or failure of implementing AI solutions lies in your data. Data is also a factor that will differentiate you from your competition. Prepare your data streams to be safely used to train and execute your large language models (LLMs).

Reduce costs and prepare your data streams for increased amounts of data

Handle the constantly increasing amount of data your company processes by implementing data streams that are cost-efficient and robust enough to prepare your company for the future influx of additional information.

Gather insightful data from multiple internal and external sources

Leverage device-based and other data sources to implement a scaled solution that combines predictive and prescriptive models. Integrate data using off-the-shelf processing solutions customized to your company's needs.

Forecast business and development risks

Predict future market trends by collecting, processing and analyzing data sets – while assessing project risks and taking advantage of suggested alternative solutions. Data engineering helps companies improve their decision-making processes and enables them to grow faster than their competition.

Increase your company’s operational intelligence and effectiveness

Optimize production performance and detect deviations or undesirable patterns. Apply data-driven algorithms to eliminate failures and gather insights to prevent costly or unexpected challenges by finding and removing their possible sources.

Protect privacy and reduce cloud costs in a swarm of mobile devices

Support data-driven decisions in a distributed cloud of mobile devices and develop innovative products that process sensitive data and run models in a resource-limited environment. Federate data, generate insights and drive decisions without compromising user privacy. Maximize cloud value by leveraging local processing capabilities on devices.

Provide behavior analysis and marketing automation solutions

Gain customer insights by applying data science to identify and analyze customer behavior patterns. Improve user experience by introducing more personalized solutions and mitigate potentially negative customer-related decisions.

Data engineering consultants who companies trust

01

19 years’ experience with AI and Big Data solutions

Our data engineering experience dates to 2005, when we developed technology for the first web-scale Semantic Web startup. This innovative project consisted of building a clustered solution for scalable Natural Language Processing (NLP), Europe’s first commercial use of Hadoop and one of the first implementations on the global stage. We provide Big Data architecture and analytics and have delivered data science and AI solutions to companies working with structured, semi-structured and unstructured data at any scale.

Data engineering services – FAQ

How do data engineering services differ from data science services?

Data engineering services are responsible for the construction, optimization and management of data pipelines and their infrastructure. In contrast, data science services are focused on utilizing the outputs of these data pipelines to access data and derive insights using statistics or advanced machine learning algorithms. In short, data engineering involves the development and maintenance of the infrastructure that handles data, while data science is the process of extracting insights and knowledge from that data.
