Specialist in data processing, Océane Consulting Data Management is well positioned to know that Big Data is revolutionizing our daily lives. Indeed, more and more companies are tending to exploit data to offer innovative services and products. But Big Data can go even further, and serve within organizations themselves. However, you need to know how to manage and exploit data…
For several years now, data has been perceived by companies as a veritable goldmine, allowing them to better understand their environment and their customers' expectations, communicate more effectively, anticipate needs, etc. Nevertheless, the Big Data revolution, announced for a long time, is struggling to get started.
DATA STILL TOO LITTLE EXPLOITED
Wrongly used indiscriminately, the Big Data designation is based on 5 pillars: volume, veracity, variety, velocity and value. These data suggest large volumes of information, generally unstructured. They contrast with data specific to companies, which are structured. And while nothing prevents artificial intelligence based on company data, Big Data nevertheless offers many possible applications, some of which are already beginning to revolutionize our daily lives: autonomous vehicles, robot-assisted telemedicine, correlation of medical prescriptions with pollution data, soil analysis with detection of layers and weeds, etc.
BIG DATA FOR PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
The possibilities offered by Big Data are not limited to products and services intended for customers. In fact, organizations have every interest in collecting external data to put it at the service of their own performance. Among other things, Big Data is being used to carry out preventive maintenance: thanks to data, failures can be anticipated and avoided, as can the associated costs. More broadly, Big Data offers the possibility of saving time and money by preventing losses, provided that the company is able to contain, manage and exploit the data.
UNDERSTANDING USER EXPECTATIONS ABOVE ALL
The first step for organizations is to determine which data has value for them.
« There is significant work to be done with business units to try to identify data that impacts business or revenue. You need to start with fairly simple things (raw material purchases, for example), which can have major consequences. Some companies have a wealth of data, but have not yet made the connection between their business and Big Data. The most important thing is to work with users, explain the benefits of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence to them, understand the business. You have to ask the right questions before implementing a Big Data structure », recommends Dominique Costardi, Associate Director Big Data & Artificial Intelligence at Océane Consulting DM.
CUSTOMIZED SUPPORT FOR ALL STAKEHOLDERS
To ensure fully benefiting from Big Data, organizations have every interest in partnering with sector experts, like Océane Consulting DM, which stands out for an approach primarily focused on the structure's business units. The Big Data specialist has a multidisciplinary team for this purpose, always aware of the latest innovations, with all the necessary skills to successfully carry out an AI or Big Data project. Océane Consulting DM is also responsible for information restitution, adding real added value to AI projects. The icing on the cake: the company commits to predictions, project success indicators - further proof of its convictions regarding its clients' business.
To best meet their needs, Océane Consulting DM offers 4 modes of intervention: one-off expertise missions at the client (technical and product expertise, project management assistance, etc.), fixed-price projects, a service and maintenance center, and a commitment to project success.
« What makes the difference for us is our humility towards clients, our understanding of business and our expertise. We also have a development center in Rennes with more than 40 consultants. That's one of our strengths too, being able to, especially during the health crisis, rely on a structure that has been working remotely for over 10 years and that masters remote fixed-price contracts », concludes Dominique Costardi.
