Data and Knowledge Engineering Solutions

Data and Knowledge Engineering is deeply embedded in our DNA. Our solutions range from Big Data and Data Warehouse implementations to Business Intelligence applications, Machine Learning, and Blockchain solutions.

Blockchain Applications

Blockchain and DLT are the hype of the day since the cryptocurrencies exploded, yet business applications are still waited for. It looks like the interest in a technology that was claimed to be poised to become the new standard in inter-organizations transactions follows the ups and downs of the cryptocurrency market, continuously shifting focus from blockchain evangelists to blockchain skeptics.

Ledger distribution is blockchain’s biggest strength and biggest weakness. Used in the right context, blockchain is a powerful technology. Regarded as a silver bullet, blockchain generates frustrations and exposes shortcomings.

While blockchain enterprise readiness is a work in progress, blockchain is a powerful tool for small-sized transaction processing that requires a persistent, transparent append-only ledger.

For enterprise applications, we use the strengths of blockchain and combine them with state of the art platforms like Confidential Consortium Framework (CCF) (https://github.com/Microsoft/CCF) which brings enterprise required features like high-scale, confidentiality, and network policies to blockchain platforms like Ethereum.

Our solutions and new ventures are going towards building blockchain solutions based on the belief that citizens, companies and public administration should be enabled to do business in an open and transparent manner, on a seamless platform.

Big Data, Data Lakes and Data Warehouse Solutions

Data can influence a company’s plan of action and be utilized to project growth and success and in today’s competitive environment can make the difference between thriving and failing. Big data is the collection and analysis of information from various sources structured or unstructured. With our solutions, we address the main 3Vs challenges a business has with building its “data warehouse”: Volume, Velocity, and Variety.

Our big data solutions in Health, Banking, and Education help setting metrics and impart information more efficient, make treatments more timely, efficient and accurate or help disease prevention, or help detect fraud and optimize financial offering.

We use state of the art tools and platforms and, depending on the business constraints, we build traditional on-premise, in the cloud or hybrid data warehouses. We integrate relational/NoSQL data with unstructured documents. We help companies make big data as an integral part of their strategy, to reduce cost and time, develop new products, optimize offerings, and help our partners make sound decisions.

Business Intelligence And Data Analytics

The age of intelligence is here. According to IDC, the worldwide revenues for big data and business analytics will grow exponentially.

A recent McKinsey research study found that companies that use analytics extensively are twice as likely to outperform the competition in terms of sales, profit, growth, and ROI. We help our partners develop advanced analytics and big data solutions to better serve their customers and outperform their competitors. Our main areas of expertise are:

  • Decision support systems with accessible data insights
  • Real-time analytics for manufacturing and logistics
  • Business processes forecasting

Our data analytics solutions, help our clients understand the “why”, which often leads to interesting insights and innovative solutions.

Knowledge Graphs Analysis and Design

The Knowledge Graph is a way of knowledge representation introduced by Google in 2012 to enhance its searching engine’s search results with semantic-search information gathered from a wide variety of sources.

Over the last few years, knowledge graphs have proved a valuable way to display and explore information. Our expertise in building user-centric data visualization interfaces and knowledge representation enables us to provide the best in class knowledge graphs designs and visualization and give our clients easy and intuitive tools to explore, visualize and understand their data.
