Get data ready: Data readiness isn’t merely about having a vast amount of data; it’s about having the right data, properly prepared and processed. In the journey towards successful ML implementation, the way data is managed from collection to analysis plays a pivotal role. Here’s a detailed look at each aspect of data readiness.
Gaining stronger control over your data is a frequent topic in our conversations with clients. Rather than starting with the technology, the aim should be to get value from your data, transforming raw information into actionable insights. Unlike dark data, which is collected but not utilised, activated data is analysed and used to inform decisions, create new business models, and enhance customer experiences.
Design systems are crucial in the tech industry, particularly for small teams and startups.
