Data Challenges

Are you ready to face your data deamons?

Does your business face the following challenges?

Organisations that do not address the following business challenges are likely to be at a competitive disadvantage if left unaddressed for too long.

Limited expertise

Is your organization able to find, attract and retain people with the right expertise to unlock the value of data?

Limited insights

Are you fully reaping the insights of all data available? Do business opportunities remain uncaptured because modern data technologies are not deployed?

Data quality

Is everyone in your organization aware of the importance of data quality? Do you have the right tools and people to monitor and ensure the required data quality levels?

High IT dependency

Is the delivery time for new data insights too long? Do you wonder how self service can make you less dependant of IT?

Compliance

Do you need to be able to reconstruct (financial) reports for audit purposes? Do you need to reconstruct all actions that have occurred on certain information elements?

Data protection

Are you sure that proper data privacy and security controls are in place in order to avoid incidents, reputational damage and even fines.

At VAR we are modernizing our application landscape. We wanted to take the usage of data to the next level. With Sparkle, we introduced speed and efficiency in the setup of a modern data platform. The data platform is fed in real time and has not only delivered new insights, but has also become a crucial part of our enterprise architecture.

The organization encountered the need to develop its experience in Business Intelligence. We hired Sparkle and they did not only deliver the right experts, but also helped us finetune our strategic objectives and setup support structures. The pragmatism and maturity of the Sparkle consultants fits really nice within our team.

The operators of the traffic centre get too many traffic alerts and needed a way to filter out only the real incidents. Sparkle (previously Lantana) analysed with different AI methods if a prediction of real alerts was possible. It gave us very goods insights in the data and we decided to improve the granularity, the quality and the quantity of the data.

Sparkle is helping us setting up data governance and enterprise data architecture within our organization. We needed a partner that was capable of tackling several data related challenges from a holistic perspective, with a high level of expertise and yet with a pragmatic approach. We are happy with the highly skilled and qualified services Sparkle offers.

With the help of Sparkle it became more clear what aspects of data we had to focus on and how to build it. Sparkle also helped our health tech startup with finding already existing API’s and methodologies which saved us a lot of time.
