Data Foundation using Cloud Computing
Billions of internet users and trillions of interconnected devices are generating more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of data, every 24 hours. And this is just the start of the data age, where data is the new oil, and harnessing the power of data can make or break an organization.
With such a massive surge in data usage, and more and more interconnected IoT devices, smartphones, laptops, edge platforms, and more, organizations need to lay a solid base of their data foundation, and optimize it, modernize it to ensure that they are ahead of their competitors and empowered to serve their customers in a better day.
In this blog, we will share how TechAhead is modernizing and revolutionizing the data foundation of enterprises and startups using Cloud technologies, and how we are triggering a data revolution leveraging the power of the Cloud.
But first, let’s get a brief on the Data Foundation.
What Is a Data Foundation?
Data Foundation is the structure of data that every organization creates (knowingly or unknowingly) to derive wisdom and insights, in order to make business decisions.
It’s like that well filled with water that villagers use to carry out their daily operations with ease: Using water for drinking, washing clothes, cleaning homes, and more.
Similarly, the goal of data foundation for an organization is to provide accurate, timely, and trusted insights and information, using which that organization can perform their critical business operations: reporting and analytics, sales projections, forecasts, budgeting, resource management and more.
Hence, without a solid data foundation, an organization is literally shooting arrows in the dark.
Interestingly, whether an organization is aware or not, they are consistently developing and using data foundation. It all boils down to how efficiently and effectively this data foundation is created, and this is where Cloud comes into the picture.

Depending on the needs and requirements of the business, we will form the strategy, select the Cloud services that will enable us to fulfill those business objectives, and accordingly develop the architecture and roadmap.
Step 2: Building The Data Foundation
Now, since the stage has been set for the data foundation, we initiate the process of creating the data foundation by migrating existing data from the legacy system into the new system.
If there is any need, we can also create new data products on Cloud, and enable the organization to leverage the flexibility, scalability, and fascinating features of Cloud technologies.
Step 3: Operating & Leveraging The Data Foundation
And the third and final step is operating and leveraging the data foundation to fulfill an organization’s business goals and operational requirements.
We will infuse Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Business Intelligence to extract data, create reports, scoop our insights and information for making smart business decisions, based on the elements of the data foundation.
