Establishing a modern, cloud-native data platform is an imperative for financial services organizations. An increasing amount of data is created every day, and the demands of customers, regulators, and stakeholders, combined with the increasing need to quickly, accurately and securely enable data for GenAI and other initiatives, necessitates a fresh look at aging data platforms. As the amount of data needed and processed invariably grows, the need to store, manage, govern, process, analyze and present this data is ever-increasing.

Lab49’s experience with Data & AI across a wide swath of global organizations has shown us the urgent need to assess and streamline organizations’ data platforms and tools and enable a modern, cloud-native data platform that delivers business value in a cost-effective, secure, and managed manner.

Lab49 helps companies preserve their existing investments in their preferred data platforms where needed, and enable a phased, systematically managed, and risk-conscious approach to modern cloud-native or hybrid data platforms. With Lab49’s POC your organization can quickly gain experience with a modernized data platform based on AWS and other third-party technologies that, taken together, form the basis of your modernized data estate. We work together with your technology and business leaders to identify a vertical slice of functionality, and deliver one end-to-end data use case in a development environment that demonstrates value and sets the stage for production-level deployments and further use cases.

All our deliverables are built from first principles, are designed and implemented through best practices and Infrastructure as Code tooling, provide simple, extensible, cost-conscious functionality in support of a business or technical use case, and demonstrate how a unified, modernized data platform enables data democratization for all data producers and consumers.

Key Deliverables:

• Using AWS data platform services such as RedShift, DataZone, Glue, Athena, S3, Aurora and other as your use cases dictate, and potentially combining them with the best of third-party data platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, dbt and others, we deliver a managed data lake / lakehouse / warehouse platform, associated data governance tools, data analytics capabilities and enablement of GenAI and ML functionality for your organization.
• Full documentation, design and code artifacts for everything we jointly decide to invest in.
• A prioritized roadmap of further enhancements to move the POC to production and to enable additional layers of functionality and additional use cases.
