1. Synapse Storytelling Enablement (DataOps)
​
Synapse Storytelling
We help you work through your business questions and transform them into concise, pertinent data questions. Together we then assess your data's readiness - is it lean and clean and ready to be refined into insightful stories. This process ensures that your data journey is time and cost-effective.
​
So, where does DataOps come in?
Our entire process is based on the DataOps methodology, it is at the core of how we do things. Our Storytelling is only the tip of the iceberg!
Think of DataOps as the best operations manager you have ever had and multiply the skill by 1000. Yes, it’s that good! DataOps takes care of the entire data lifecycle in your business from data preparation and reporting to team efficiency and more. Better yet, DataOps incorporates Agile development practices, DevOps and lean manufacturing into data analytics development and operations. In layman's terms, the collection of technical practices and procedures enables your teams and business to improve in the following ways:
-
Increased turnaround time on new insights, innovation and experimentation
-
Decreases the rate of errors and increases the quality of insights
-
Improved collaboration and communication
-
Improved monitoring of results
-
Agile software development increases overall manufacturing by breaking down large requirements into manageable sections
-
DevOps is a result of applying lean principles to software development and deployment, applying a broader focus and implementing continuous improvement to a process for better success
-
Lean manufacturing is the ideology of maximizing productivity while minimizing waste within an operation
Our customised DataOps procedures learn the ins and outs of your business methodologies to help optimise where you need it most.
Ever heard of the saying “work smart, not hard”? Well, lo and behold, we offer a unique storytelling strategy (based on the DataOps methodology) to help you do just that.
2. Modern Data Warehousing/ Metalayer in the Cloud
Big Data Architecture is designed to receive, digest, process and analyze data that is too complex or large for traditional database systems.
​
With access to so much data, we need something to make it understandable and useful, which is why we design and build custom systems required for different platforms, such as Azure and AWS platforms for ETL and ELT processes.
What does this do for you? It feeds your data into value-driven insights and reports for stakeholders in your business, allowing you to focus on what is important.
As a small (but rocking) team of experts, we realize that the synapse(bridge) needs to be a continuous process which is why we focus on upskilling end-users in order to understand the modern approach and methodologies and how to make the best use of them. Training our clients on how to utilise their data and systems best allows foresight into missed opportunities and assists to differentiate our customers from the rest.
We as Synapse pride ourselves on being data gurus, meaning we are able to implement our Modern Data Warehouse/ Metalayer architecture on different platforms, such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) as well as adapt and integrate to various systems according to the project needs.
3. Advanced Analytics and Automation
Being data-driven goes hand-in-hand with business intelligence.
Understanding your root causes, your pain points and your sweet spots allows for a broader perspective of business development from the foundations up. Our team has years of experience in business development and operations, allowing us to be the link between you, your insightful data and your business' success. By automating the advanced analytics put into place by our process we enable you to act on the insights gained at the speed of business!
We prefer partnership-based projects rather than turn-key projects where we can ingrain and attune ourselves to your business, making sure that everything is in sync, including your staff. Our DataOps methodologies ensure that even when we leave, your teams understand and know the design and implementation of our solutions to continuously improve your operations.
Our business intelligence model is split into 3 categories depending on your needs:
Business analytics:
You have data and we want to help you use it! We use our business system experience to extract and analyse your data from different sources to create modern data warehouses. These modern data warehouses are used to process large amounts of data effectively whilst allowing us to construct datasets that provide the necessary resources to enable value-driven data analytics and data visualisation while keeping costs low.
Data analytics:
Having your data organised is one thing, but being able to extract valuable insights is another, which is where we come in. Data analytics allows us to extract your data and break it down into key insights allowing you to make informed business decisions, increase productivity and eliminate processes that are no longer working. We have experience with various analytics and reporting tools to transform raw data into insights and create story-driven reports to enable end-users and stakeholders to make the most of their data. Types of Data analysis services and solutions we can offer:
Descriptive analytics allows us to use the data from business systems to describe events by having full visibility on negative and positive events allowing you to see the “bigger picture”
Prescriptive analytics is to make use of predictive analytical models and business rules to prevent future events from occurring or not occurring based on the decisions made in the present
Diagnostic analytics is an in-depth analysis as to why these events are happening and what solutions need to be implemented
Solutions is part of our SMART analytics, we offer predictive and prescriptive analytics allowing us to create models and solutions that incorporate all types of data analysis. We combine key insights as to what is currently happening in the business as well as predicted events that could occur allowing you to implement solutions before the problem even occurs
Predictive analytics takes the answers obtained in Descriptive and Diagnostic analysis to build models that will eventually predict events. This works when raw data is compared against historical data linked to previous events to track patterns and predict upcoming “trends”
Data visualisation:
We do not just throw a bunch of information at you and expect you to understand it, that is our job. Using Power BI we put together visual reports to display key business insights that tell a story, highlight the core issues and wins as well as current vs future business predictions based on historic patterns and data analysis, allowing your stakeholders to make informed decisions that not only save you money but time and resources too.

Automation:
Sticking to our DataOps roots we automate your analytics processing. This ensures that your insights are always current and relevant without being reliant on a single person or team that needs to refresh and compile your data every time you want to see what is going on in your business.
