Platform migration
Mergers and acquisitions within the big data ecosystem brought a level of confusion and uncertainty. Many on-premise platform users are worried about the volatility of their platform, potential risks for their data and applications, as well as the suitability and viability of alternative courses of action. We can help.
Some of our customers are in the process of assessing or planning the migration of their on-premise big data platform to a cloud-native data platform. Our team of experienced architects and data engineers can guide you through the design and implementation of a complete migration (data, apps and workflows) from your on-premise platform to a cloud-native data platform (eg AWS, Google GCP, or MS Azure).
Our expert team of data consultants regularly conduct discovery sessions and more in-depth risk assessment engagements, to help companies choose the best option for their current technology stack and strategic roadmap. Whether you decide to maintain, upgrade or migrate your on-premise data platform, our data engineers will align with your teams to accelerate timelines, eliminate risk, and minimise impact to your daily operations.
Data integration
Analysing data stored in silos has limited value. With an integrated data lake, you can unlock insights that would have otherwise been missed.
Coforge – Salesforce Business Unit provides a unified solution for Data Integration: building, deploying, and managing real-time data-centric architectures in a big data environment. Once the big data platform is setup, our data integration services aim to achieve multiple elements of integration, like batch and real-time data ingestion, from identified sources. The data transformation, data verification and quality activities ensure that information available is up to date, accurate, and consistent across systems.
Our Data & Analytics Consultants will work closely with your team to:
- Scope data ingestion, transformation and quality management requirements
- Record data source systems, data consuming platforms, data formats, data mappings, business rules, data transformation, data quality, data extraction methods and interfaces
- Understand and document non-functional requirements like data volume and throughput.
- Design key data processing frameworks/engines required for the implementation
- Design detailed technical architecture and ensure adherence of end-to-end data lifecycle
- Implement an end-to-end data integration solution
- Perform unit, functional and performance testing to ensure business and non-functional requirements are met
