Too many organizations take a technology led approach to modernizing their data platform. They ignore misunderstandings and confusion with modern tools and patterns. And they can miss out on addressing unique business requirements and usage patterns based on organization roles, duties and current maturity that usually come up during the delivery. It makes sense sometimes to up-skill the team on certain aspects of cloud tools and modern data architectures before asking them to define and agree on a strategy.

Slalom's Enablement-Led approach offers a medium-touch approach to de-risk the journey by introducing light and focused training and hands-on workshops. This is based on initial assessment specific training which is provided for a business and technology audience; including hands on labs and self-study material. After building up a foundational understanding; the Slalom Team will help define a unified data strategy including a roadmap, backlog of data use cases, and a reference architecture.

This offering includes:

• Pre workshop due diligence and discovery- collecting current state information, data models, technical maturity and training needs
• 2 - 5 day light training workshops for business and technology stakeholders involved in the strategy definition inititiave
• Engagement to define modernization strategy, use case backlog, data strategy roadmap, change approach and a reference architecture
• Build out of non-production proof of concept on AWS working with client team members along the way
• Depending on your needs, the scope of the workshop may include additional deliverables such as governance and change plans, AI and ML opportunities, and much more.
