Cloud Data Migrations

We will focus on avoiding your next license renewal of on-premise database technologies like Oracle and Teradata by rapidly migrating your infrastructure to scalable, usage-based billing in the cloud.

AWS RDS PostgreSQL and MySQL, or Azure SQL Managed Instance and Azure MySQL Database are recommended for always-on workloads in the cloud.

For analytic workloads, Snowflake is our first choice for true elastic performance and usage-based billing, but for batch operations AWS Athena+Glue or Azure Data Factory+Data Catalog on top of an object-store based data lake backed by S3 or ADLS2 can be a huge first step.

Privacy-By-Design

Your firewall is not the answer to the challenges of managing a secure data lifecycle in HIPAA/HITRUST, GDPR or CCPA environments. Using a systemic approach with clearly defined milestones we can help you close the gap, establish a certified de-identified data set (CDDS) and enforce auditable role-based access controls to PHI and PII.

Vendors like Alation and Informatica offer sophisticated data catalogs but there’s no “easy button” for a proactive approach to data governance where privacy is the default setting.

Your data is the most strategic and durable asset you own, it deserves user-centric, full lifecycle protection.

Agile
DataOps

From a Jira or Rally tune-up, to mentoring your team’s journey to continuous delivery in Azure DevOps, our technically-minded agile coaches will pave the way toward your data-driven future.

Successfully moving from a production support mentality to “DataOps” requires more than a training class. Software tools must be upgraded, and business stakeholders must be willing to change process in order to simplify and accelerate time-to-delivery.

The technical challenges can easily be met, but the social complexity of this type of work can make an outside voice invaluable.
