Lots of Data, Stats & Info!?

Most organisations are having the same challenge.

Lots of data from different sources and how best to utilise this intelligence quickly.

We have a standard data model called Fabric – this is a universal method to align, combine and simplify complex data from different sources with different update rates and widely varying metrics.

We have a Data integration toolbox and experts to connect Fabric to whatever data source and standard we need to work with – API’s, flat-files over FTP, historic data in excel or access, unstructured data via text analytics or video categorisation.

Our platform Cosmos then sits on top of the Fabric data layer and provides a rich toolbox of pre-built and customised scorecards, dashboards and push reports – all in a componentised way so that we can build reports for you or allow governed data discovery / self-serve.

The main point is that Cosmos/Fabric is a tried and tested model for simplifying and optimising multi-source data for interactive reporting & discovery.
