Mantel Group’s AWS Data Foundation Assessment is a crucial first step for organisations aiming to maximise the value of their data assets on the AWS cloud. This comprehensive service evaluates your current data landscape, identifies areas for improvement, and provides a roadmap for building a robust, scalable, and secure data foundation on AWS.

Mantel Group’s AWS data specialists conduct a thorough examination of your existing data infrastructure, including on-premises systems, cloud deployments, and hybrid architectures. We analyse key areas such as data architecture, data quality, data governance, security and compliance, scalability, and performance. This includes evaluating your use of AWS services like Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, Amazon EMR, AWS Glue, and Amazon Athena, ensuring you're leveraging these tools effectively and in line with best practices.

As part of the assessment, Mantel Group evaluates your readiness for advanced analytics and AI/ML initiatives such as Generative AI, examining your data preparation processes, feature engineering capabilities, and the overall quality and accessibility of your data for AI/ML projects. We also review your current data pipelines, ETL processes, and data visualisation capabilities, looking for opportunities to streamline workflows and improve data insights using AWS services.

The assessment includes a review of your data security and compliance measures, examining your data protection strategies, access controls, encryption practices, and compliance with relevant industry regulations and standards. This ensures that your data foundation is not only powerful but also secure and compliant.

Upon completion, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing Mantel Group’s findings, including a clear overview of your current data maturity level, identified strengths and weaknesses, and a gap analysis. Most importantly, the assessment concludes with a prioritised list of recommendations, providing actionable insights to guide you in strengthening your data foundation, optimising your use of AWS services, and preparing your organisation for future data-driven innovations.
