Public Sector Data Series: Building Scalable Data Solutions
Will Lowe talks to Cyril Law from Engine Transformation and Alix
Crabtree at DfE about the importance of getting the foundations right
when building scalable data solutions.
Designing a new data
management platform for replacing and existing data service or
implementing new product/service is a fascinating and exciting
challenge. Key factors need to be taken into consideration:
- Adoption of new technology and building a data engineering framework
- Component based, modular development and automation
- Upskilling and training resources
- Technology design, testing and implementation
- Scalability and security
- Getting the foundations right
Key takeaways for attendees will be:
- Learnings in moving to the cloud and specifically Azure as a platform
- New automated SCV providing significant cost savings
- The foundations now in place for faster, more effective reporting and building products to support the department and teachers
