Idea 11’s Data & Analytics Accelerator

Idea 11’s Data & Analytics Accelerator  is a secure, scalable and flexible Data Lakehouse solution designed to give your organisation a foundational Data & Analytics platform that provides real business value as quickly as possible. The solution is built on the Databricks Lakehouse platform, providing a versatile, cost effective and extensible data solution, with Microsoft Power BI for intelligence, analysis and reporting.

A key goal of Idea 11’s Data & Analytics Accelerator is to provide value and insight on your organisations data by expediting delivery of an initial Data & Analytics use case. This will enable your organisation to see value faster, while informing further work to harness data through delivery of subsequent use cases, data sources and reports.

• A Data Lakehouse solution providing the foundation of a data and analytics platform that will enable your organisation to uncover insights, inform decisions, bring efficiencies, create a competitive edge, and deliver better customer experiences.
• Integration of the Data Lakehouse with an initial selection of your organisation’s data sources to enable data analysis and establish the foundations of integrating your organisation’s systems with the Data Lakehouse
• Reports targeted against an initial use case to accelerate business value from the Data Lakehouse

The Databricks Lakehouse solution unifies the best of data warehouses and data lakes in a single platform to handle data and analytics use cases. This platform is used to ingest, transform and enrich data into a format ready for data analysis and reporting.

Microsoft Power BI is a class-leading interactive data visualisation tool used to create reports and dashboards from the Data Lakehouse. Power BI allows staff to visualise and discover what’s important and share insights across the organisation.

The Idea 11 Data & Analytics Accelerator is delivered in a two-week agile sprint led by an experienced Idea 11 Solution Architect to deliver a production Data and Analytics solution to build on.
