Why DataSwitch?

Most data-driven enterprises are en route to the cloud to rescue their time-to-market and achieve greater scalability and agility. There is also the unending concern for data governance and security and a desire to become self-serviceable to drive ROI. But, the center of it all is to provide their customers with unparalleled experiences.

Manually transforming data warehouse workloads from legacy systems to modern cloud systems consume more time and resources than expected. 

However, did you know that according to reports 83% of IT Decision Makers (ITDMs) are not entirely satisfied with the performance and output of their data management and data warehousing solutions?

This is where DataSwitch can help you out.

What is DataSwitch?

DataSwitch is a no-code platform for rapid data modernization. The essence of the platform is to provide customers with hassle-free digital experiences. In accordance, we redefine an enterprise’s data architecture into more customer-centric designs.

How do we plan to do this?

DataSwitch builds enterprise-ready cloud data platforms by accelerating the process of translating and transforming data for real-world insights. These cloud data platforms are molded around three pivotal business objectives:

• To scale decision-making processes,
• To automate manual data processing and
• To simplify complex data analytics.

How can DataSwitch help you?

DataSwitch accelerates the data engineering process and makes it more agile by providing a self-service-based approach to engineer migration and integration on your chosen tech stack. These modern tech stacks include Spark, DataBricks, Matillion, Snowflake, RedShift, etc. 

Enterprises can use DataSwitch for data modeling, data migration and integration, data preparation, and data enrichment and consumption. So, it becomes quite obvious that with DataSwitch enterprises can manage the entire cloud data engineering ecosystem.

By implementing DataSwitch to handle and process standard transformations and migrations, enterprises can put their hired niche experts to better use. This leads to cutting down on outsourcing costs while letting data-driven enterprises become IT-independent.

DataSwitch empowers business analysts to build data integrations by themselves since it is a no-code drag-an-drop platform. They can then move the integrations over to the IT department for production. This saves time and effort, while efficiently reducing friction between the business and tech teams.

Deep-diving into DataSwitch

DataSwitch includes three individual toolkits: 

• DS Migrate
• DS Integrate
• DS Democratize

Together they encompass the data transformation life cycle. Enterprises can choose to implement one or more of these toolkits.

DS Migrate:

Manual data transformations from legacy to cloud systems are tedious, time-consuming, and sometimes can be faulty. DataSwitch’s DS Migrate can automate this entire process for you. This data modernization toolkit transforms legacy applications or analytics data to cloud-native forms using modern innovative methods, accelerators, and services.

We’ve incorporated a bunch of the industry’s leading players. So, if you’re wondering which legacy to cloud transformation we can help with, here’s the list!

Legacy systems include Teradata, Netezza, MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, Informatica, SSIS, and IBM DataStage. Cloud systems include PySpark, Databricks, Matillion, SnapLogic, AWS Glue, Talend, Snowflake, AWS Redshift, Google Bigquery, Exasol, etc.

DS Integrate:

The DS Integrate toolkit is a self-serviceable, business-friendly, metadata-based tool for providing AI/ML-driven data aggregation. With a Data Buffet, DS Integrate consolidates and ingests structured or unstructured data to domain-specific data applications. The Data Buffet includes generating AI catalogs, predictive data mapping, and NLP-based data enrichment.

Data Engineers can simply upload the unstructured or structured data in any source format (including ODBC, JDBC, PDF, image, or text), and DS Integrate will follow coding standards and best practices to convert the input into a structured data catalog. This catalog can then be integrated into the cloud-native stack.

DS Democratize:

Once the knowledge base is available in the cloud platform, DataSwitch extracts meaningful and required information using DS Democratize, which is an intuitive, conversational, AI-driven ‘Data-as-a-Service’ toolkit. 

A business executive just has to type in a question to the chatbot and DS Democratize will generate a relevant code or an SQL query and send it to the knowledge base from where it retrieves and presents the data in the required format. It’s as simple as that!

A Case Study

DataSwitch developed an enterprise-level solution with DS Integrate and DS Democratize to automate the procurement process of supplier spend management for a biotech major. Earlier, the business teams within the enterprise were facing difficulty in optimizing their tail spend analysis, management, and supplier negotiation since the process was highly manual and painstaking with thousands of suppliers every month. This resulted in errors, inaccuracy, and ineffective supplier negotiations leading to higher spend in the order of millions of dollars.

The data to negotiate with these suppliers were spread across multiple supplier quotes as PDFs and images, making it tedious to analyze the entire process manually. DS Integrate enabled a seamless automated conversion of this unstructured data to a structured format. And, DS Democratize helped decipher the entire information 100x faster than the manual process. The automation and its analytics reports helped the business save tens of million dollars within a few months.

The Perks of DataSwitch

DataSwitch increases accuracy up to 10x and also reduces the time to market by half. The no-code drag-and-drop platform is scalable, flexible, and reduces the total cost of delivery by 60%. 

Besides, DataSwitch also takes responsibility for implementing best practices for data governance and security without having to depend on experts. So, even IT teams within an enterprise can use DataSwitch without having to invest in onboarding niche talent.
