A solid data infrastructure is the key to future-oriented business development. It facilitates everything from the creation of new value chains and well-founded decision-making using business intelligence to product personalisation and the use of artificial intelligence.
Opportunities for collecting data have increased rapidly in recent years. Almost any interface with a customer, a machine, or a product is also capable of capturing data. Maintaining an overview in this ocean of information requires concepts and competencies from a wide variety of areas that go beyond traditional software engineering.
To this end, therefore, we provide more than just the data streaming architecture. Organising, provisioning, managing, and integrating huge volumes of data requires intelligent data engineering which also takes into account testing, security, monitoring, and data quality.
To make our data engineering projects even more successful, we employ best practices from software engineering. This results in higher quality, robust data products which form the cornerstones of sustainable success.
When a major brand like dm strategically enters the online market, it creates high expectations. For this reason, their IT subsidiary FILIADATA, which has been responsible for all dm’s IT systems since 1988, launched a project in 2013 which was aimed at laying the foundations for reliable, fail-safe IT operations for dm.de. These included creating a large, fully automated Linux infrastructure in the data centre on which sophisticated web services like the online shop can be operated.
READ CASE STUDYinovex and REWE’s collaboration in the area of supply chain optimisation has focused particularly intensively on REWE’s IT subsidiary, REWE digital.
This particular project involved developing demand forecasting for REWE’s delivery service, leveraging big data technologies to enable easy scalability.
mobile.de is a marketplace for the buying and selling of vehicles. Every month, the web platform draws 13.5 million visitors who can choose from the more than 1.6 million vehicles on offer. Each visit to the platform creates a stream of data which contains information about the demand for particular vehicles, the quality of the vehicles for sale, and user requirements. mobile.de wants to use this data to continuously improve the user experience for both vehicle sellers and purchasers.
READ CASE STUDYarvato Financial Solutions is collaborating with Microsoft, Cloud and Big Data specialist inovex GmbH, and three pilot e-commerce customers on an innovation project to create a Big Data architecture based on Microsoft Azure. The team will use the project to evaluate how the combination of Cloud Computing, Big Data and advanced analytics can improve fraud prevention and facilitate the development of new financial BPO services.
READ CASE STUDYWe gained early experience in the field of big data, and we are particularly experienced in setting up, designing, and maintaining on-premises Hadoop distributions. We therefore understand exactly what is involved in a cloud migration and can evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each case both individually and comprehensively.
During a migration, we ensure that both the infrastructure and the data systems and use cases are implemented cloud natively in order to fully leverage the advantages of the cloud environment. We believe that our customers’ working methods should be altered as little as possible by their cloud migration, despite the addition of new technologies.
The GDPR is an important factor in the development of new solutions. Not only does it usher in new technical requirements, but it can also mean severe penalties for companies which violate them.
This has a tremendous impact on both existing and new data platforms, as it affects everything from regulation-compliant data storage and provision to the applicable authorisation concepts and documentation.
If these requirements are not taken into account during the design phase, the subsequent conversion process is both time-consuming and expensive. When designing our projects, therefore, we determine exactly which GDPR provisions must be applied and decide how to incorporate them into each individual solution.
A high-performance data platform is the basis for successfully extracting value from data. It enables teams to develop new products by allowing them to flexibly access information and to expand it as they see fit. Using a common platform also facilitates the development of symbiotic cross-team relationships, which can provide companies with new insights.
We support customer teams by providing continuous quality monitoring, enabling them to set up their platforms so that they can work successfully and load their data reliably.
We also enable companies to flexibly evaluate their data by giving them access to their data lakes through traditional reporting solutions. This enables analysts to use the data to create reports and evaluations.
Traditional reporting, however, is not the only business tool which can benefit from the creation of centralised data platforms. Complex machine-learning products can also be used to mine data lakes containing unstructured data, such as images.
