Enabling the Value of Data Science
Thanks to the availability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), more companies are focusing their efforts on appointing Data Scientists to extract business value from the data at their disposal. This has subsequently made the role of Data Engineers even more critical as this skill is essential to prepare this data for appropriate use. As organisations are rightly drawn to the benefits that AI and ML can deliver, and while this is essential to transforming data into actionable insights, it is the role of the Data Engineers to get it to that stage.
Therefore, Data Engineering is critical in enabling Data Science. If the Data Scientists are not able to obtain quality data at the right time and in the appropriate format, then it is impossible to perform their roles effectively. Hence, while Data Science unlocks the business value of data, much of the effort to enable this, lies in the engineering component. Data Engineering remains one of PBT Group’s core competencies.
Flexible Service and Cost Model for the New Normal
PBT Group’s consultants are certainly au fait with the benefits that remote working arrangements can offer to clients. Over the last decade, the company has delivered a wide range of services from Data Analysis, Data Architecture, Adaptive Data Modelling, Data Engineering, testing, implementation, and overall project management to clients in Africa and the Middle East.
PBT Group has also expanded its remote working experience to its European operations and, with strategic partnerships signed in 2019 with companies in the Netherlands, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Germany, PBT Group is well-positioned to support data-related projects across Western Europe, remotely.
As organisations seek opportunities for cost efficiencies, a remote/hybrid, flexible service model can be successfully obtained via managed services or solutions. The value proposition of a managed services arrangement resides in increased productivity, a reduced management overhead, the flexibility of capacity on demand, as well as the potential to include knowledge transfer and client enablement. When looking to partner with Data Specialists who can provide the right data solutions and expertise through a managed services model that considers remote capability, then look no further!
