When might you require Data Observability as a Service?

Our customers deploy our fully managed service for the following three most common reasons. They either:

Pre data migration

Cleaning your source data prior to a data migration project can save significant time and money whilst reducing the risk to your migration.

Preparing for AI

AI is only as good as the data it is built on. Garbage in, garbage out still applies. Higher quality data will result in higher quality decisions.

Poor data quality

Reports giving mismatched or inaccurate values and KPI's being generated inconsistently leads to low trust in your data sources.

Without trust what do we really have?

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few common questions and answers about our Data Observability as a Service (DOaaS).
What is Data Observability as a Service (DOaaS)?

DOaaS is a high value service that provides companies with a team of data professionals that implement data observability to increase data health and trust in your business. Don't just say your data is correct, prove it!

What is Data Observability?

Data observability is the monitoring of the health and quality of your data as it flows through your business enabling the detection and quick resolution of issues as they are observed leading to a higher amount of trust in reports and dashboards used for decisions.

What does DOaaS cover?

Design, implementation, management and support of your data quality platform. This includes creating your platform from scratch using Soda.io or taking on the management, support and future development of another existing platform.

What does it include?

The typical roles you would use to enable data observability are as follows:- Data Architect, Data Engineer, Data Scientist, Data Analyst. They design and build data pipelines, manage and monitor your data flowing through your business and use it to generate reports.

What technologies does it cover?

The primary technology we use is Soda.io but there are many others that do the same or similar things. If you are already using another technology we will most likely know what it is and how to use it.

Are platform costs included?

No, software licensing costs are not included as part of the service but for greenfield implementations we can bundle the costs together to keep billing simple.

We don’t have any data engineers, is this right for us?

If you are looking for a service to look after your databases then DBAaaS is probably a better fit for you. If you are are experiencing issues with data quality, don't understand how data flows through your business and how it has been transformed or your business is not able to trust your reports and dashboards to make data based decisions then this service is for you.

Are development changes included?

Yes, as systems change overtime ETL processes and pipelines need to be changed to adapt to those source system changes too. If your data engineers are adding additional pipelines we can include those in your data quality platform too.

We need to migrate one of our systems to a new application. Should we wait to clean our data as part of the migration?

Data migration projects can be costly. Anything that can be done before the data migration kicks off will reduce the amount of back and forth managing and fixing data issues. Data observability should be a standard process run at all times but if you do not currently do it and you have a migration coming up DOaaS can save you time and money.

We need to migrate our data to a new system. Will DOaaS help us migrate our data?

If you need a data migration project to move data from an old CRM/ERP system to a new CRM/ERP system or an old finance system to a new finance system that would be a separate project cost and is not included in DOaaS. Data migration projects like this can take 6 months to multiple years depending on the requirement, the type of system that is being migrated and how many years / how much data is in scope for the project.
