- Advisory
That data-driven strategies and tactics drive value and sustainable growth is becoming increasingly evident. But the program must be customized to the unique business context and technology landscape of each enterprise. Harvesting insights and harnessing them to drive business value requires a sound knowledge of the business levers, understanding of Data Sciences and Analytics and expertise in the underlying technological enablers.
Altumind’s experts work closely with your business leaders to understand your business goals and what you see as key drivers and enablers of growth. We partner with your technology teams to capture your current data cloud and analytics landscape. It is in this context that we co-develop a data architecture and roadmap for leveraging Snowflake. Our advisory engagements typically comprise three steps.

Assessment & Strategy
Our assessment of your “current state” encompasses your current data and analytics environment- what, how, where, why and when. We analyze your in-house capabilities to ensure that your journey ahead is not jeopardized due to talent gaps. The deliverable is typically an articulation of gaps and opportunities and a high-level approach to plugging the gaps so that your enterprise is better-positioned both in the short and long-terms to evolve as a strong, data-driven enterprise.
Data Architecture
Your business will need to work with diverse data formats and sources- omnichannel POS data, videos, sensor feeds, document scans, data from partners etc. Your data strategy and the technology elements supporting it must be robust enough to handle such complexity, while giving you the flexibility to make adjustments as you progress on your journey. To ensure security, governance and discovery/use, you will need data lakes, operational stores, warehouses, and marts. Our experts help you build the requisite data architecture on the cloud so that they can be used efficiently and effectively in terms of speed and cost- and can be scaled easily.
Roadmap
The transformation into a data-driven enterprise needs careful planning so that you do not end up putting the cart before the horse. There needs to be cadence between your business teams, technology capabilities and the governance processes to drive usage of data and insights for growth; not having any one in place at the right time can cause sub-optimal outcomes. “Success begets success”. Therefore, we help in identifying use cases, prioritizing them for implementation and agreeing ways to measure value. Depending on the starting point, our roadmap will cover implementation/migration/integration.
To help your business extract value from your investments in Data and Analytics you need the right complement of trained staff. We plan for debrief sessions to transfer knowledge and learnings from the project to in-house teams. Our roadmap identifies the stages when you will need such talent, so you can plan in-house hiring or outsourcing.
