Nordcloud AWS Data & Analytics

Our Data Architecture Review uses Nordcloud’s experience-driven methodology to help you avoid common pitfalls and unlock more value from your data assets over the short and long term. In just 3 weeks, you get a report rooted in key business drivers that identifies:

• Your goals, target user groups, scopes and restrictions
• Your target architectures
• How to scale pinpoint proof-of-concepts into corporate-level data architectures
• How to translate business requirements into technical design across different customer teams and business units
• Skill and role gaps, with proposed improvement actions
• Pilot scope selected from the identified business drivers (smallest effort, biggest business impact)
• Plan to build a scalable Data Foundation pilot accounting for customer-specific technologies
• Roadmap covering how to incorporate all data assets and products under one Data
• Foundation governance framework

Once you have the plan and roadmap from the Data Architecture Review, you can hit the ground running with a Data Foundation governance framework that incorporates all data assets and products.

We help you get started with the pilot use case identified in the Data Architecture Review, ensuring that the challenges identified in the report are mitigated. The Data Foundation includes templates and incorporates AWS best practices and our expertise from more than 1,000 public cloud implementations. You therefore benefit from:

• Reduced effort, timescale and risk associated with starting from scratch / custom design efforts
• Avoiding designing an organisation-wide solution through the lens of single team or business unit
• Avoiding having to fix decisions early about a data lake / data mesh approach, remaining flexible to avoid re-implementation costs
• Reduced security effort, with templates that lead to a reduced attack surface

People’s eyes light up when they first see Nordcloud-designed BI dashboards – because they finally have easy access to the insight they’re looking for.

Even the most comprehensive dashboard won’t drive business value if people don’t (or can’t) use it. Our proprietary approach to BI dashboard delivery ensures the best possible user experience – and delivers maximum value to the people seeking insight from data.

We drive user adoption by properly identifying key user groups and analysing their needs and ways of working. Then, we use rapid prototyping tools that allow for quick and cost-effective feedback and iteration. 

That way, reports aren’t just visually appealing – they’re tailored to your users’ and customers’ needs, workflows and even their data literacy. And that means they’re delivering the value people need.
