Building a new data platform

Building a new data platform from the ground up can be a complex process, but Starlight Insights simplifies it with end-to-end guidance. We help you choose the most suitable tools, technologies, and vendors that align with your business objectives and technical requirements. Whether it's selecting the right cloud provider, designing scalable storage solutions, or integrating cutting-edge analytics, our tailored recommendations ensure that your platform is built for success.

A solid data platform also requires the right team. We assist in structuring your team with the necessary skills and accountability. We guide you in setting up CI/CD pipelines to automate your development, testing, and deployment processes, ensuring continuous integration of features with minimal disruptions. Our goal is to build a scalable, secure, and efficient platform that becomes the backbone of your data-driven business.

Migration of data platform

Migrating a data platform requires careful planning and precise execution, and we bring our own proven methodologies to ensure the process runs smoothly. Starlight Insights provides a comprehensive migration plan that mitigates risks such as data loss, downtime, or system incompatibility. We focus on preserving the integrity of your data while ensuring the migration is carried out efficiently and on schedule.

Whether you're migrating to a cloud platform, upgrading infrastructure, or consolidating data systems, we tailor the migration to your specific needs. Post-migration, we optimize the new platform for performance and scalability, ensuring it's ready for future growth and improved operational efficiency.

Vendor selection and contract negotiation

Selecting the right vendor can be daunting with so many choices on the market. We use our deep understanding of the data platform landscape to assist you in evaluating vendors based on pricing, features, and performance. Our comprehensive analysis ensures that you choose tools and services that match your technical and business requirements while staying within your budget.

Beyond selection, we support you through the entire contract negotiation process. We act as your advocate, ensuring you get the best terms possible. Our expertise in vendor negotiations helps you secure favorable pricing, clarify service-level agreements (SLAs), and avoid hidden costs or unfavorable clauses. With Starlight Insights, you're equipped to make confident, informed decisions that align with your long-term goals.

Training and mentoring of new employees and teams

A successful data platform requires not only the right technology but also a well-trained team to manage and operate it. At Starlight Insights, we provide tailored training programs to ensure that your team is well-versed in the tools and processes of your data platform. Our mentoring includes hands-on training, technical skill development, and coaching in data management best practices, all designed to empower your team to maintain and optimize the platform independently.

We also help establish clear roles and responsibilities within your data team, ensuring everyone knows their part in the platform's success. In addition, we provide ongoing mentorship, including PR reviews and knowledge sharing, to encourage continuous improvement and innovation. Our goal is to equip your team with the skills and confidence to maximize the potential of your data platform and drive business success.
