Infrastructure Setup
The tool stack of companies often grows historically. As a result, many companies are “overtooled” or depend on organically grown structures due to existing processes. However, simply introducing new software is just as damaging as keeping tools that no longer comply with the current state of the art.
It is therefore important to carefully review the requirements for the tool stack and then optimize data sources and data flows in such a way that data quality is increased.
Our process
Purchasing Support
- Conversations with tool providers on framework conditions such as data protection, SLAs, commercials, etc.
- Requirements analysis to find the right tools together
- Authorization of administrative access on components for consultants

- Reverse ETL
- It is provided as infrastructure-as-code
Handover
- Providing a comprehensive documentation of system configurations, processes, and procedures
- Handing over the infrastructure to the relevant stakeholders, including Walkthroughs and Q&A sessions
- On request further infrastructure support and 3rd level support
The Business Impact of Your Infrastructure Setup: The Foundation for Future-Proof Data Architecture
Our Mission: Scalability & Tool Agnosticism
We build your Modern Data Stack to be modular, cloud-based, and future-proof. Our focus is on Architecture Development that technically supports your Data Strategy, not on hype. We deliver a blueprint instead of a black box.
The Measurable Impact
Reduced IT Costs: 100% targeted IT investments through a clear architectural roadmap.
Agility: New Use Cases are implemented in weeks, not months.
Data Compliance: GDPR conformity is integrated from the fundamental structure.

This is how we go about building data architecture
From data audit to a strategic data architecture plan to implement the tools and, of course, enabling all employees — we do not advise to sell the next “cool” tool, but to generate the highest added value.
Status quo — the data audit with a focus on data architecture
The first step in our collaboration is to implement a comprehensive audits of the existing data architecture. This includes reviewing the current data infrastructure, data models, integration processes, and data storage solutions. The aim is to identify strengths, weaknesses, and potential risk areas and to assess compliance with business objectives and compliance requirements.
Strategic data architecture plan
Based on the results of the audit, we develop a detailed plan for optimizing and possibly expanding the data architecture. This includes the development of use cases that can be implemented at short notice as well as a long-term architecture strategy, which includes the roadmap for implementing new tools and adapting existing tools. The goal is always to optimize data quality data security and data integration.
Implementation of data architecture tools
Now it is time to implement new tools, switch off outdated ones and, of course, ensure a smooth transition. We are supported by a large team of experts who are thoroughly familiar with the respective tools.
Implementation of processes
Once new tools have been implemented, they must of course also be adapted to the company's processes. To this end, we jointly review existing processes and stakeholders, optimize them if necessary and ensure that processes — including through the use of new tools — work more efficiently than before.
Enablement and training
The best tools are useless if employees can't handle them. That is why we attach great importance to training the various stakeholders in how to use the tools and their new roles. For this purpose, we are also happy to call on experts from our network who know the respective tools inside and out.
Data architecture in our framework
We always work with the framework organization, culture and architecture.
In our opinion, these three areas are the most important factors for successfully anchoring data in the company in the long term.
Data architecture is therefore one of the three pillars that are inextricably linked and interdependent. As a company, you can opt for a focus that best supports the company's goals in the short term. However, it is important to always keep an eye on all areas and not to neglect any of the three pillars in order to generate long-term impact.
The Data Institute — the strong partner in building the data architecture
Using the right tools and ensuring that they fit into employees' work processes — that is our goal. In doing so, we never lose sight of the entire company and focus on ensuring that all actions focus on the corporate and data strategy.
