Advanced Data Engineering

Many business entities face the challenge of identifying the relevant data for data analyses, collecting it technologically and then evaluating it. Sometimes initial attempts have been made, but often the holistic approach, including a close dovetailing with the corporate strategy, is missing.

For this reason, we at Advanced Data Engineering (ADE) deal with all questions on the topic of data, including: the fundamental question of technical data procurement, downstream processing in customer-specific analysis content and the integration of data in the organisational structure of the business entity in connection with a data strategy and operating model.

We will be happy to advise you in detail on the following key topics

Standard evaluation options of the IT solutions used often do not cover the individual analysis needs of a business entity. In some cases, data from different systems must also be evaluated across the board. To close this gap, in the area of custom analytics, we use analytical content tailored to your business entity, using standard components and modern reporting solutions. This gives us a high level of automation. Since many components are already in use at your business entity, these solutions can also be set up quickly and easily integrated into the existing IT organisation.

Our D&A-based advisory approach to the target operating model (TOM) brings together and links our digital capabilities. We develop and integrate digital solutions into the organisational operating model. Our toolbox of methods, best practices and new digital standards developed for this purpose provides the necessary tools. One of the focal points is business process management, i.e. the identification, documentation, control and optimisation of business processes. The TOM as a whole represents individually tailored solutions, supplemented by continuous improvement management. We accompany you holistically from analysis to operation and also support you in project and change management.

The identification of relevant data content and its mapping in a data model are crucial success factors of a data analytics solution. Only then will you have the necessary flexibility to meet the information needs in your business entity and to develop new data sources as needed or to quickly integrate new content into the existing data model.

Especially in the automated processing of mass data, efficient ways are needed to extract the required data from different ERP source systems. Our extraction toolbox offers various tools with which we can export enormous amounts of data (structured, semi-structured as well as unstructured data) for the respective use case performantly and without major manual intervention. Our experts in this field provide data extraction services to over 400 clients from different sectors worldwide.

In grown IT systems, data sets are often stored in separate data silos and are therefore difficult to access for data analyses and data-driven business models. We support you with the implementation of your system landscape as well as the associated current and future data requirements and data flows. We conceptualise and implement data integration layers and common data models. We support you in selecting and implementing tools and platforms for metadata management and data virtualisation, as well as in approaching external data providers and integrating external data.

With our experience from a large number of projects and using our proven methodologies, we can support you in implementing solutions quickly, efficiently and sustainably that meet the specific requirements of your business entity. Our various experts from the individual focus areas will be happy to assist you.
