Front and backend data science 

We distinguish between Backend and Frontend Data Science.

We define the Backend as the part that deals with hardware, efficient data processing, and data storage infrastructure, often referred to as Data Engineering.

The Frontend, on the other hand, is more focused on data analysis and can be further subdivided into tasks performed by data analysts, machine learning engineers, statisticians, natural language processing specialists, neural networks, data visualization, and various roles such as Data Science software developers.

An integrated development environment – IDE

The capability to rapidly and efficiently build, deploy, and iterate is essential to incorporate decision-makers’ feedback and update the solution(s) accordingly. Stakeholders require customized decision-making support that is tailored to their specific needs, rather than using off-the-shelf or black box solutions.

Our approach focuses on addressing the specific problem at hand and aligning with the decision-making requirements.

Data Studio as a Service

Unlock your full potential with our team of experienced experts, minimizing risks along the way. We specialize in developing and implementing customized data solutions that are tailored to your specific needs. We thoroughly test and verify these solutions, and provide ongoing maintenance and continuous improvement to ensure optimal performance.

      Four Steps to Start Your Data Lab 2.0

      1

      Meet. What is the Business Impact?

      In our initial meeting, we delve into the ways data and analytics can positively impact your business. This is an opportunity to openly discuss any questions you may have. You will also be introduced to your dedicated data partner, who will be your main point of contact throughout our collaboration. Transparency and open communication are at the core of our partnership.

      2

      Understand. How we can help?

      We collaborate to gain a deep understanding of your company’s initial situation and needs, which are gathered through an enterprise assessment or customized formats like the Lean Data Check-Up and Data Maturity Check. Together, we define concrete use cases using the Data Thinking approach.

      3

      Setup. What is the right fit?

      We establish your external data lab utilizing our DSaaS framework. During this process, we define coordination channels, data protection measures, collaboration methods, response times, and more. Should your needs evolve or additional flexibility be necessary, you have the ability to adjust requirements and plans accordingly.

      Operation. The first project

      Your Data Lab is fully dedicated to meeting your needs and works in close coordination with you. Whether you require infrastructure development, pragmatic cyclical analyses, or the design and implementation of complex predictive analytics, we are here to support you every step of the way.

      Data Science as a Service

      Access the resources to fulfill your specific capacity and skillset requirements.

       

      Product lifecycles involve a team of data scientists with complementary skills that do not overlap. This means that a data lab typically requires a minimum of 5 people, each bringing their own distinct expertise. However, if these team members are not fully utilized, it can lead to unnecessary and expensive costs.

      DSaaS serves as a resource integrator, bringing together the knowledge and skills of both internal and external team members. This enables access to a wide range of relevant data science and AI disciplines. With DSaaS, data clients have access to all the expertise they need without incurring additional costs. They only need to invest the necessary time to build their customized data-driven solutions while accommodating their preferred studio and infrastructure preferences.

      We offer digitally-focused enterprise resources that can enhance your existing team or help you build a new team from scratch. Our engagement models are flexible, catering to short, medium, and long-term projects. We provide a range of options of Studio on Premise/Cloud: client-hosted solutions and Alephnet-hosted solutions.

      Traditional Consulting Options

      Data, technical analysis, and digital solutions tailored to the specific needs, capabilities, and desired outcomes of your business.

      Data Science Infrastructure as Service

      With our DSIaaS (Data Science Infrastructure as a Service), you can eliminate the expenses and complexities associated with purchasing and managing physical servers and datacenter infrastructure. Cloud computing services provide essential computing, storage, and networking resources that can be accessed on-demand and paid for based on your usage.

      By leveraging cloud infrastructure, you can reduce the maintenance required for on-premises data centers, resulting in cost savings on hardware expenses. Additionally, the cloud offers the advantage of real-time business insights, enabling you to access and analyze data in real-time for better decision-making.

      Compliance Certification. Risk Audits and Assessments

      Complying with regulatory data laws, assessing data security, the use of data, data science models, and algorithm fairness is a complex challenge for any company.

      Data governance is a critical consideration when centralizing and processing data. Organizations need to ensure that data is used in an operationally efficient manner while adhering to legal transparency and privacy regulations. This involves dictating and documenting how data is integrated, how it is used, ensuring accuracy and consistency, and restricting access to authorized parties.

      By ensuring compliance with data regulations, you can have peace of mind and mitigate the risk of penalties for non-compliance, allowing you to focus on other important tasks.

      Our data auditing services include but are not limited to:

      Regulatory conforming analytics - GDPR

      The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is considered the most stringent privacy and security law worldwide. It imposes obligations on companies that target or collect data from individuals in the European Union, regardless of the company’s location.

      We offer an analysis of your data processes related to European customers and employees to assess your compliance with the GDPR. If any gaps are identified, we provide guidance on how to address them.

      Non-compliance with the GDPR can result in severe fines, with penalties reaching up to a certain percentage of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year or a fixed amount in the tens of millions.

      Our data processing and data security practices not only meet the requirements of the GDPR but also align with the data guidelines of the German Banking Supervisory Authority (BaFin) and state bank regulations.

      When you utilize our front-end or back-end resources at Alephnet, you can be confident that your data operations comply with GDPR regulations and adhere to the highest standards of data protection and security.

      Data Security Assessment

      Risk assessments help you understand the location of your sensitive data, who has access to it, and any changes occurring in its environment. A successful data security risk assessment can typically be divided into three steps:

       

      1. Identify the risks to your critical systems and sensitive data.
      2. Identify and organize your data based on the level of associated risk.
      3. Take measures to mitigate the identified risks.

        Data Science Education

        Data science is not a single discipline but rather an umbrella term that describes a complex process involving a team of data scientists with non-overlapping complementary skills. When designing educational programs for data science, it is important to consider this team-based approach.

        In a digital world, every company should ask themselves, “How can data help us achieve our goals?” Empowering the workforce to become data science citizens requires a certain level of education. Whether it’s a training workshop, steps integrated into your strategic planning, or a customized company-wide training program, our expertise in data science will help you make progress.
