Using New Technology to Unlock the Value in Your Data

In today’s competitive commercial landscape there is a continuing need to gain advantage by the interpretation and strategic insight into the data we hold and generate. As the volume of data produced within an organisation increases, selecting the right technology to process data efficiently is key. Our experience has demonstrated that corporate organisations utilise multiple databases, a myriad of spreadsheets and shared drives grown organically over time. How does an organisation make full use of the data it owns? 

The traditional relational database management systems (RDBMS) provide insight into core business data; the data is structured, organised, well understood and often hosted in a multi-user environment. However; the proliferation of unstructured data such as social media postings, internet search data and financial transaction information requires a somewhat different approach.

Here at Sagacity we like a good challenge to reset our thinking and try something new. We are harnessing the power of Hadoop and Spark to enhance and accelerate our proprietary data matching and data parsing algorithms within our core products. The ability to quickly scan, manipulate and cross match data from multiple data sources has significantly increased the performance and complexity of our Customer Data service offerings through our proprietary software.
