Years of consulting in our industry has taught us a few lessons - a lesson learnt is that one system will not support all functions within a business and it is for this reason that business data is often stored in multiple locations. The other is that no matter what your opinion, your data is never as clean as you think. The upside of being in the industry for such a long time, and working with so many clients over the different industry verticals is that we have most probably seen it all before (…or most of it anyway).
Working and building data analytics solutions for the Agricultural sector is no different. The industry typically implements best-of-breed solutions rather than expecting a single system to facilitate every process. This in essence creates different data silos for each process negating the possibility of a single data repository. The other challenge is that every data silo exists in a different format – databases, flat files web-based and other platforms is not an uncommon scenario.
As a Microsoft Gold Partner in Data Analytics and Data Platform our expertise lies in building Modern Data Platforms that integrate data from any source, no matter what the source or type. We are also experts at building custom analytical models to provide insight or facilitate self-service analytics.
