Road to Data Mesh: 1 month consulting and implementation

Data mesh addresses the typical challenges of data platforms. With huge amount of data, tremendous effort is required on the part of the central data teams involved in preparing the various content sources, data routes and pipelines are left “orphaned” due to lack of owners and/or uncommunicated source-side changes and a disparity exists between redundant technical knowledge (due to repeated processing) and fragmented technical knowledge (where each person has only an incomplete picture).

Data mesh addresses these difficulties in using centralized architectures and processes – particularly in larger companies. It takes a holistic, end-to-end approach to the development of services and the associated (analytical) data products. inovex has long been a byword for deploying successful projects in application development, IT engineering, and data management and analytics – and particularly for engineering integrated solutions in these areas. For us, data mesh is a combination of promising principles which build seamlessly on our successful track record and expertise:

• Consistent expansion of the “shift left” approach from DevOps to data products
• Analytical data as the focus of the life cycle of an application and an integral part of the agile development process (“You build it, you run it, you measure it”)
• Location of data expertise and responsibility closer to the services and systems generating it
• Creation of a data ecosystem whose added value increases as participation does

Our implementation offer includes:

• Reviewing your data and cloud ecosystem
• Identifying promising use cases
• Implementing the most valuable use cases
• Moving your company to a data-driven culture

Furthermore, we have collaborated closely with Microsoft for years, gaining deep expertise in the rapidly evolving Azure ecosystem, also in the area of data technologies. Our extensive experience enables us to effectively assist our customers in adopting new technologies and to successfully handle data in the Azure could. In the context of Data Mesh as a socio-technological approach, our Azure experts can provide valuable insights into the benefits of Azure services to establish self-service data infrastructures, enable Domain Teams to create Data Products, and to use Microsoft’s well-architected Integration Framework to get the maximum potential.
