SnapLogic
today introduced a new Quick Start solution to help enterprises build
and deploy cloud data lakes on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with speed and
confidence. Enterprises can now fast-track their cloud data lake
projects by deploying SnapLogic components, AWS services such as Amazon
Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Redshift, and best
practices from Agilisium Consulting. The new Quick Start solution is
immediately available for download here.
To
generate business value from their data, organizations are implementing
cloud data lakes or data warehouses to consolidate, store, and manage
all their business-critical information assets - whether structured or unstructured, internal or external - which
in turn enables business analysts and data science teams to mine and
analyze the data to drive better business decisions and outcomes. Before
a data lake initiative can produce value, organizations must first
integrate, transform, and load large data sets, from multiple sources
both on-premises and in the cloud, into the data lake. The new Quick
Start solution from SnapLogic and Agilisium makes populating and getting
a data lake up and running fast and easy.
The new Quick Start provides the following capabilities:
Global higher education company Kaplan Test Prep turned
to SnapLogic to connect disparate systems used to gather and manage
information on student performance, customer issues, product usage, and
company financials. Kaplan successfully deployed the SnapLogic
Intelligent Integration Platform to move data from 50+ apps and data
sources into a cloud-based data warehouse on AWS Redshift. As a result,
the company was able to enrich data reporting to fuel product and
service innovation, reduce reporting time to value from weeks to days,
and save hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual operating costs.
"SnapLogic
is a flexible, easy to use, visually appealing tool," said Tapan
Parekh, Director of Engineering and Architecture at Kaplan Test Prep.
"Over the years, SnapLogic has helped us integrate data seamlessly from
our current legacy systems with minimal effort and time. They've enabled
us to provide self-service capabilities across the different data
domains by establishing a central source of truth and essentially acting
as an accelerator of productivity for our business consumers."
"Data
is the new currency for business, and it must be made available
on-demand to employees throughout the business without friction or
limitation," said Craig Stewart, SVP of Product at SnapLogic. "To
architect the modern analytics stack, organizations are investing in
cloud-native, self-service integration platforms, data lakes, and
analytic tools that work seamlessly together and accelerate
time-to-value. With a free-flow of data at their fingertips, workers
across the business can uncover new insights, make faster decisions, and
take swift action that drives the business forward."
"In
line with Agilisium's commitment to help organizations take the
Data-to-Insight-Leap, we are thrilled to launch this Quick Start with
SnapLogic which empowers businesses to set up the data lake and
experiment with data, without the support of specialized IT skills,"
said Raj Babu, Founder of Agilisium Consulting.
Quick
Starts help organizations deploy popular technologies on AWS based on
best practices for security and high availability. These accelerators
reduce hundreds of manual procedures into just a few steps so
organizations can build production environments quickly and start using
it immediately. Quick Starts include templates and other guides that
provide organizations with step-by-step deployment instructions.
