ValueStream
Data is merely a financial drain if it cannot be converted into concrete business value. It requires an understanding of both the data and business worlds. This is where we excel.
Transforming raw data into concrete business value
Data is meaningless without real-world use cases, and businesses require actionable data to operate effectively. We call the process of bridging these two worlds ValueStream. Transforming data into value doesn't happen with a single line of code or a one-off workshop. It's a comprehensive and iterative process.
By integrating our expertise in both domains, we seamlessly convert raw data into actionable insights that drive business success. This is the essence of ValueStream, a holistic approach that ensures data serves its true purpose: creating value. However, tools and technology alone are not enough. It requires training, support, and integration into everyday operations to truly make a difference.
How we make it a reality?
Internal Tools
Instead of creating always a new application from a scratch, Databricks offers great possibilities to build own unique tools. This enables seamessles and secure access to the data, making coding process a lot faster and efficient.
Earlier internal tools were mainly interactive notebooks, SQL queries and workflows. But now there is a Databricks Apps. Databricks Apps offer the fastest and most secure way to build data and AI applications, enabling serverless deployment and built-in governance. Developers can focus on impactful solutions without worrying about infrastructure management.
AI Assistants
AI assistants have rapidly entered the market, offering agile functionality for both automation and task facilitation. There are multiple great out-of-the-box solutions available, such as Databricks Assistant, Genie, and GenAI Playground. While these tools are already powerful, their effective utilization requires expertise and knowledge. Additionally, custom AI assistants can be developed to meet specific needs. At Ikidata, we have been creating these tailored solutions and see immense potential in them—not only for task automation but also for creating new value.
Dashboards
Transparency and monitoring are essential for continuous improvement – if it can't be measured, it can't be improved.Fortunately, we have moved from heavy, manually-built reports to flexible, AI-driven solutions. The Databricks AI/BI Dashboard is a great example of this change, making data analysis easy and straightforward. No longer are developers needed; now, everyone can immediately start creating value.
Process Automation
Automation has traditionally been a cornerstone of value creation. While nearly everything can be automated, it's essential to consider ROI to maximize the return on time and money invested. Fortunately, Databricks offers an ecosystem that efficiently streamlines end-to-end processes, making it an ideal platform for integrating business workflows. By leveraging AI, data and business professionals can be freed from routine tasks to focus on value creation, ushering in the next era of automation.
Standardized? Let's automate it.
Training & Support
Even the best technological solutions can be worthless if not used correctly. That's why ongoing training and support are crucial. Technology is evolving faster than ever, and the pace continues to accelerate. We are here to support you in integrating the latest innovations into your daily operations and implementing best practices. Bridging the gap between business and data specialists is essential to unify their vision. Once this alignment is achieved, prioritization becomes possible.
Everything starts with communication, and it can take you a long way!
