Data management is the foundation of techniques and processes that aim to collect, process and make use of organisations’ data. Efficient data management helps to anticipate risks, reduce delays and improve operational efficiency. Mastering and leveraging your data management environment offers a major competitive advantage, improving business performance and customer experience.
ALTEN, with its cross-disciplinary expertise in data ingestion, transformation, analysis and retrieval, designs customised solutions to meet its customers’ needs. By combining its engineering culture with its understanding of business issues, ALTEN focuses its support on leveraging data to fulfil operational use cases. To this end, ALTEN calls on the skills of its subsidiaries LINCOLN and SDG Group, which has specialised in data solutions for more than 30 years.
Data optimisation: driving transformation
In the last ten years, the volume of data generated or replicated globally has increased thirty-fold. Technological and digital developments have allowed us to process these large volumes reliably and quickly. Artificial intelligence offers many advances to improve data quality, accessibility and security. These contributions are especially salient for the manufacturing and service sectors, where artificial intelligence can apply to many areas such as offer personalisation, fraud detection, chatbots, and automating and optimising production processes.
Migrating to cloud computing environments is also key to much more responsive “real-time” data management.
Data is the common denominator of any digital transformation. The ALTEN Group has the technical expertise and flexibility required to create the best data management solutions and offer end-to-end support, from consulting to project deployment.
