Approach to AWS Smart Analytics Implementation

Adastra can assist with your analytical use cases, our methodology covers the discovery, design, and implementation phases. When it comes to the stages of the analytical journey (data movement, data storage, data manipulation, and data consumptions), the Adastra team has the expertise to recommend a modern architecture design for a future proof end to end solution.

We identify all stakeholders and conduct a series of exploratory workshops to get acquainted with the organization’s current technological platform, data strategy and long-term plans, including key business objectives and use cases that should be implemented.

We join forces to create an AWS Smart Analytics architecture and implementation plan that outlines the required resources, skillset, and any necessary integration to your applications. The architectural design artifacts include detailed description of capabilities, a clear definition of roles and responsibilities as well as cost estimation for the AWS services required to implement the solution.

Our experienced team of AWS professionals execute the tasks to implement the processes and services described on the architectural design following the AWS Well-Architected framework. Our goal is to implement a secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient AWS Smart Analytics solution which enables users to obtain insights through a fast, easy to use, and collaborative cloud platform.

We produce all the documentation required by your team to fully operate and use the end-to-end solution, including a runbook. We perform transfer knowledge sessions where will answer any questions regarding the implemented solution.

Success Story

DWH Modernization on AWS for AstraZeneca

AstraZeneca needed to implement a modernized platform that would create a single repository of trusted information, across their organization.

Adastra architected and implemented an enterprise Data Warehouse, leveraging Amazon Redshift to replace AstraZeneca’s on-premise Oracle and Business Objects solution, instilling a set of Governance best practices and accelerators to ensure trust and accuracy.
