Q. What
is 'Data Engineering'?

That's a good question and more people should be asking it. |
|
Data, by
itself is not information, just like a pile of bricks is not a house.
Yes, information is derived from data, but In order to give meaningful information,
data needs to be understood, manipulated, merged, split and generally
transformed.
Data Engineering means capturing data, storing it, processing it and transforming it into information
and insights to help you spot trends, patterns and opportunities.

|
Data that
has been transformed thus is said to have been shaped or sculpted and is best
held in what is referred to as a Data Warehouse or DW for short. There is
a whole branch of Information Technology dealing with DW and there are many DW
types and designs, each suited to particular styles of management and BI
requirements.
This is an
important skill that we possess, perfected over 40 years of dealing
with and processing data in many varied business and IT environments. |

Because we have
many years experience working with data and Data Warehousing, we are sure we can help your business to
manage and get the best out of the data you hold and use every day. |
