Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: From our experience across many data projects is that one of the biggest barriers is the amount of effort (and cost) required before any value/return is realised. This is why we created our Data Analytics Platform Accelerator. ; ; IJYI's Data Analytics Platform accelerator, built on top of Azure services, empowers businesses to gain valuable insights from their dispersed data sources and transform them into actionable intelligence. By leveraging the capabilities of Microsoft Azure Data Analytics Services and our expertise in-house, you can centralise and transform your data, visualise it in a user-friendly manner, and make informed decisions to drive your business forward.; ; We work with you to understand your requirements in order to plan the best platform to build and then configure our Accelerator to deliver it. This gets you up and running and ready for us to concentrate on your data.; ; Our approach to data focuses on making the result ready for reporting and analysis without the need for further transformation. This is achieved through agreeing on clearly defined work items and then iterating on them through a collaborative agile process to make sure the result meets customer needs.
• Planning service works with specific services: Yes
• Hosting or software services the planning service works with:
  • Microsoft Azure Data Services

Training

• Training service provided: Yes
• How the training service works: Every organisation and individual is slightly different with their start point and end goals. Our approach is Assess, Plan, Deliver and Support.; ; We start by assessing your ambition. What level of skills are required? We then build a “role description” of the requirements. This role description is used to self-assess a competency journey. We also assessment relevant complementary skills.; ; A Development Pathway is then created and contains activities, skills and training required to reach the required level of competency.; ; A combination of Coaching, Show-n-Tell, Demonstrations, Guided Self-Study, Role Shadowing and external formal training courses is used to progress the Development Pathway.
• Training is tied to specific services: Yes
• Services the training service works with:
  • Microsoft Azure Data Services
  • Microsoft PowerBI

Setup and migration

• Setup or migration service available: Yes
• How the setup or migration service works: Even when using IJYI's Data Analytics Platform Accelerator there is still a need to get the fundamental setup and integration correct.; Firstly we need to understand your current Azure environment, or if this will be your first Azure environment. This ensures our services are built efficiently, securely and cost effectively.; We will then configure the automated deployment (using infrastructure as code) of our accelerator to deliver the services and features you need.; Attention is then on bringing in your data, our ETL approach ensures this data is brought across to enable your insights to be delivered.
• Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services: Yes
• List of supported services:
  • Microsoft Azure Data Services
  • Microsoft PowerBI

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: Quality is vital in the delivery of actionable intelligence from your data. Poor quality data will lead to poor quality actions and decisions. Understanding your data sources, data quality and data dependencies will ensure that the data integration focuses on quality data. Our team will work with you to ensure the quality metrics are defined and then validated as part of the implementation.; Performance is not the preserve of big data sets, though is more challenging as the data set grows. Data latency can massively impact the validity and visibility of data, so ensuring that data is brought through in a timely and accurate manner is important. ; With modern cloud platform services it is easy to "over specify" in order to attempt to minimise performance issues; however this can lead to unnecessary costs and dramatically reduce the return on investment.; ; We always follow best practice in our design and delivery. We can undertake security testing ourselves or work with an independent third party security team. Our team will then work through any vulnerabilities or improvement areas until these are satisfactorily addressed or mitigated.
