DATA ARCHITECTURE

Most organisations are on the journey to a multi-cloud environment. An architectural review is often required to determine specific use cases that can be supported by the existing data platform eco-system, and where necessary, the introduction and integration of new data services and solutions. There are often a multitude of architectural decisions to be made – InfoCentric can help you make the right decisions for the right situation.

A typical review will take into consideration the guiding principles, capability architecture, conceptual architecture and high level technical architecture to support your data and analytics solution requirements.
