In this Crash Course on Feb 11, we’ll look at different characteristics of data platform initiatives. All customers have a history of growth and legislative demands. This consequently leads to an application landscape and related data that is formed by these sets of different requirements. When doing data platform projects, specific considerations need thus to be addressed.  

We’ve been working for many customers on numerous data platform projects. In this Crash Course, we’ll discuss various types of platform projects like legacy migrations, cloud-native scaleups, acquisition companies, heavy regulated business and industrial customers.

For each of these patterns, we’ll share insights on typical challenges, factors to consider and recommendations on solution patterns:

Legacy migrations

  • Greenfield project vs lift & shift or a hybrid approach

Cloud-native scaleups

  • Lack of historical data
  • Fragmented data – Disconnected silos resulting from rapid growth

Acquisition companies

  • Multiple different data architectures
  • Decision to migrate or keep separated

Heavy regulated business

  • Compliance: Adhering to strict regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, AML, KYC)
  • Certain data isn’t allowed to be in cloud

Industrial customers

  • Purpose built end-to-end industrial data architecture
  • Leverage edge and cloud computing

You will also get insights about related data platform architectures and cloud data platforms from leading vendors.

This Crash Course is suited for business- and IT leaders and practitioners who want to understand more about factors affecting modern data platform implementations.
