Embracing Agility and Excellence in Data Operations: The DataKitchen DataOps Way
When the founders of DataKitchen met, it was at a company that offered a managed service for healthcare insights and data. Initially, their customer found data errors, the team could never quickly create new insights, and the customer and the team doing the work were unhappy. Tired of having nights and weekends interrupted, they found a better way to work by combining Agile, DevOps, and Lean Manufacturing principles. They did not know it then, but this was the birth of DataOps. They found that DataOps enabled them to deliver data and analytic products faster, with higher quality, and to keep using the tools they loved.
With big data, AI, ML, and organizations’ need to compete with data, achieving operational excellence in data management is not just a goal but a necessity. DataKitchen’s DataOps management consulting offerings guide organizations through a transformative journey towards agility, quality, and operational efficiency in data operations. Drawing inspiration from Agile consulting models, DataKitchen’s approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of data teams and their consumers, ensuring that data is accurate, reliable, and delivered with unprecedented speed and precision.
