Unlocking the Power of Data Lake Consulting

In today’s data-driven world, businesses are constantly seeking ways to harness the power of their data. One of the most effective solutions is the implementation of a data lake. Data lakes offer a scalable and flexible platform for storing vast amounts of structured and unstructured data. However, the journey to a successful data lake implementation can be complex and challenging. This is where data lake consulting comes into play.

What is a Data Lake?

A data lake is a centralized repository that allows organizations to store all their data, both structured and unstructured, at any scale. Unlike traditional data warehouses, data lakes can handle raw data in its native format, making it easier to store and analyze diverse data types. This flexibility enables businesses to gain deeper insights and make more informed decisions.

The Role of Data Lake Consulting

Data lake consulting involves guiding organizations through the process of designing, implementing, and managing data lakes. Consultants bring expertise in data architecture, data governance, and analytics to ensure that the data lake meets the organization’s specific needs. Here are some key aspects of data lake consulting:

Assessment and Strategy Development: Consultants begin by assessing the organization’s current data landscape and identifying the goals and objectives for the data lake. They develop a comprehensive strategy that aligns with the business’s vision and ensures a smooth transition to the new data infrastructure.

Architecture Design: Designing a data lake architecture requires careful planning and consideration of various factors, such as data ingestion, storage, processing, and security. Consultants work closely with the organization to create a scalable and efficient architecture that supports current and future data needs.

Data Governance and Security: Ensuring data quality, compliance, and security is crucial in a data lake environment. Consultants help establish robust data governance frameworks and implement security measures to protect sensitive information. This includes defining data access policies, monitoring data usage, and ensuring compliance with regulations.

Data Integration and Ingestion: Integrating data from various sources into the data lake can be a complex task. Consultants assist in developing data pipelines and workflows to streamline the ingestion process. They also ensure that data is properly cataloged and indexed for easy retrieval and analysis.

Analytics and Insights: The ultimate goal of a data lake is to derive valuable insights from the stored data. Consultants help organizations leverage advanced analytics tools and techniques to uncover patterns, trends, and correlations. This empowers businesses to make data-driven decisions and gain a competitive edge.

Benefits of Data Lake Consulting

Engaging with data lake consultants offers several benefits:

Expertise and Experience: Consultants bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in data lake implementations, reducing the risk of costly mistakes and ensuring a successful deployment.

Customized Solutions: Every organization has unique data requirements. Consultants tailor their approach to meet the specific needs and goals of the business.

Faster Time-to-Value: With the guidance of consultants, organizations can accelerate the implementation process and start realizing the benefits of their data lake sooner.

Scalability and Flexibility: Consultants design data lake architectures that can scale with the organization’s growth and adapt to changing data needs.

Conclusion

Data lake consulting is a valuable investment for organizations looking to unlock the full potential of their data. By partnering with experienced consultants, businesses can navigate the complexities of data lake implementation and harness the power of their data to drive innovation and growth. Whether you’re just starting your data lake journey or looking to optimize an existing implementation, data lake consulting can provide the expertise and support you need to succeed.

Mergers And Acquisitions

Growth is good, right? Of course, every CEO wants the company to grow. Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are increasingly becoming key strategies in business growth.

However, once the ink is dry on the exciting new deal, operational realization kicks in, and for the CIO responsible for successfully managing system integrations the headaches begin.

https://diactonew.wpengine.com/images/blog/post-1.jpg

M&As typically bring major IT challenges, often overlooked by the CEO. The complexities of combining multiple systems, databases, and entities into a unified platform are underestimated and as a result, CIO rarely delivers a fully integrated enterprise-wide solution, leaving business data in silos and a consolidated 360-degree business view lacking. As a result, the CEO is left with no choice but to base critical business decisions on only partial data which is often out of date.

At DIACTO in partnership with DOMO, we have the ability to bring data from disparate systems, multiple ERPs, and data sources into consolidated, actionable Enterprise-wide dashboards within a few weeks rather than months, giving the CEO trusted, validated data enabling the business to take full advantage of the investment in the merger or acquisition, drive profitability and business transformation.

In addition to the Enterprise view, DIACTOs solution has the ability to provide site specific views still allowing for sites/subsidiaries to manage and see KPIs important to them.

[CN] 5th Anniversary - Lucien (Roast!)

⚠️ SPOILER ALERT!! ⚠️

This post contains a detailed spoiler for a story that has not been released in EN yet! Feel free to notify me if there are any mistakes in the translation~

✧5th Anniversary Event | Prologue | Creative Workshop | King Fuk Street | Wonderland | Star Plaza | Final Day- Heart Rain Lake | Roast! (You’re here!) | Truth and Dare Pinball Machine | Random Event tidbits

T/N: 吐槽大会, or can be translated as Roast! is a comedy talk-show in China that’s inspired by Comedy Central Roast. Basically, it’s a show where the people invited take turns in roasting each other based on the topic provided.

In the game itself, you can choose which roast you can give to him (and you get a chance to choose another option lol) and whether to oppose or agree with his roast.

Translation under the cut!

Microphone: Welcome to Roast! Everyone is welcome to participate~

[Topic 1- Work]

Microphone: The topic of today's roast is…

Microphone: His/Her Work~

MC: I'll go first~

MC: In my heart, he is...

[Option A: Dedicated Scientist]

MC: According to "I don’t actually know what I'm talking about" data, 99 out of every 100 scientists love to work non-stop without sleep or food.

(T/N: 废寝忘食 is an idiom meaning to skip one's sleep and meals/ to be completely wrapped up in one's work)

MC: However, Professor Lucien relied on his extremely high physical fitness to work without eating and sleeping at all!

MC: Won't this unavoidably attract resentment from other scientists?

MC: So for the sake of the future of the scientific community, I advise him to keep a low profile in the future, eat and sleep on time, to give his colleagues some psychological balance~

Lucien: This lady appears to have a point that I didn’t consider too well before.

Lucien: But rather than maintaining the psychological balance between colleagues for the future of the scientific community-

Lucien: What I care more about is your opinion.

Lucien: I'll try to change these bad habits in the future, so that you don't have a chance to criticize me about them anymore.

Lucien: Anything else?

[Option B: “Picky” Consultant]

MC: My program consultant is very serious about the program content.

MC: And even for a small idea, he will ask me to go to the library to look up information, discuss it face-to-face in a coffee shop, or meet in the park to collect local cultural material.

MC: After a long time, I finally realized that-

MC: Did he use the program as a way of creating opportunities to meet each other?

Lucien: This student's realization seems to take longer than I thought.

Lucien: In fact, my role as your "program consultant" is not the only one filled with deliberate and subtle motives.

Lucien: In one way or another, I have hidden some selfishness in every other aspect of my life.

Lucien: But judging by how long it takes for you to realize it, I guess it will take another long time for you to discover "them".

Lucien: Anything else?

MC: My rant is over.

Lucien: Although the Great Producer often says that I’m very committed to my work, it seems that… you are no different from me.

Lucien: And sometimes when we travel overseas, you have to take your laptop with you so that you can "be on call" 24 hours a day.

Lucien: This makes you seem a little "busier" than me.

[Option A: Agree With Him]

MC: ヾ(⁠=⁠^▽⁠^⁠=⁠)ﾉ

Lucien: Since the Great Producer has admitted it, let's supervise each other in the future.

Lucien: If someone 'violated' first, you have to punish the other person to do one thing for you, okay?

Lucien: Don't worry… It’s not a trap. it's more like a mutual motivation.

[Option B: Oppose him]

MC: (⁰⁠ Д⁠ ⁠⁰⁠ ⁠*)ﾉ

Lucien: Hmm... You don't think so? Do you still think that I'm more likely to forget to eat and sleep?

Lucien: To an extent, it seems to be the case.

Lucien: But by nature, it seems to be the same.

Lucien: No matter the extent, it still has an impact on our health, doesn't it?

Lucien: So, why don't we encourage each other to free up more space for the two of us?

MC: Anything else?

Lucien: Some time ago, I accidentally saw your plans for next year's vacation.

Lucien: It seems like there is not enough time left for me?

Lucien: As your program consultant, should I increase my efficiency to shorten the duration of the program?

[Option A: Agree with him]

MC: ヾ(⁠=⁠^▽⁠^⁠=⁠)ﾉ

Lucien: Since Miss Producer also wants to have a lot of vacation days...

Lucien: Then I will not fail to meet this high expectation, and strive to give you more time to rest.

[Option B: Oppose him]

MC: (⁰⁠ Д⁠ ⁠⁰⁠ ⁠*)ﾉ

Lucien: Oh? Did I make a mistake...

Lucien: You said 80% of your time is reserved for me?

Lucien: But if you only schedule five days of annual leave a year, we only have four days.

Lucien: For such a greedy me, it seems far from enough.

MC: Anything else?

Lucien: My rant is over.

[Topic 2: His/Her Life]

Microphone: The topic of today's roast is…

Microphone: His/her life~

MC: In my heart, he is...

[Option A: Movie buff]

MC: A scientist who likes to watch movies-

MC: No matter how busy he is at work, he will spare some time as much as possible to watch movies.

MC: And after watching it, he will also carefully search the relevant information, from the shot analysis to the director's creative process.

MC: I seem to be less professional than him even though I’m the professional TV and film producer….

Lucien: Watching movies is a good hobby for me, but I started to develop the habit of looking up related information after I became your program consultant.

Lucien: After all, in addition to providing professional knowledge and insight, I also need to know something about the journey behind the scenes of the creators,

Lucien: I need to understand all aspects of the great producer's life so that I can help in the best way I can.

Lucien: Anything else?

[Option B: Tea Connoisseur]

MC: He likes tea very much, to what extent?

MC: To the extent that I can smell a faint scent of tea when I pass by him,

MC: And when I open the storage cabinet, I will find hundreds of tea bags, and there is an increasing number of them…

MC: I didn't know that Professor Lucien also had a "childlike" hobby of collecting things he likes.

Lucien: Rather than collecting, it is more that I'm going to let it settle over time to have a better and richer tea flavor.

Lucien: And I've always had a small plan in mind- that every few years, you could taste the "time" with me.

Lucien: Anything else?

MC: My rant is over.

Lucien: My little girl often has many whimsical ideas, for example, she likes to decorate our home according to the four seasons,

Lucien: Or create some unexpected surprises from time to time, so there is nothing worth "rant" in life.

Lucien: I’m very satisfied and I like it very much.

[Option A: Agree With Him]

MC: ヾ(⁠=⁠^▽⁠^⁠=⁠)ﾉ

Lucien: Hmm. Seems like I've motivated you even more with this speech.

Lucien: Then… Just continue to let me be lucky enough to sit back and enjoy them in the future.

[Option B: Oppose him]

MC: (⁰⁠ Д⁠ ⁠⁰⁠ ⁠*)ﾉ

Lucien: Are you saying that I bring you more surprises?

Lucien: At this point, none of us should be modest with each other.

Lucien: Instead, we should be happy that we can bring joy, surprise, and happiness to each other.  

MC: Anything else?

Lucien: But also because I’m greedy enough to have more.

Lucien: Every minute and every second in the future, I will continue to welcome every surprise you bring to me with anticipation.

[Option A: Agree with him]

MC: ヾ(⁠=⁠^▽⁠^⁠=⁠)ﾉ

Lucien: But in such a beautiful thing, you can't be the only person who gives.

Lucien: So, although I don't have the same unimaginable creativity as you.

Lucien: I still want to bring you what I consider to be “surprises”.

[Option B: Oppose him]

MC: (⁰⁠ Д⁠ ⁠⁰⁠ ⁠*)ﾉ

Lucien: Oh? What's with the sudden reluctance…?

Lucien: It seems that you also like to secretly “play bad”.

Lucien: So what do I have to do to make your "surprise package" endlessly renewed?

MC: Anything else?

Lucien: My rant is over.

[Topic 3: About him/her]

Microphone: The topic of today's roast is…

Microphone: About him/her

MC: I’ll go first~

MC: In my heart, he is...

[Option A: Genius]

MC: I have to say that he is a "genius" in every sense of the word, and I hardly ever see anything he is not good at!

MC: Wait, why don't I start doing a study on Professor Lucien?

MC: For example—[In such a perfect genius, how many things is he not good at?]?

Lucien: I think I have a lot of things I'm not good at.

Lucien: For example, I always forget to take good care of myself and then I don't know what to do when you are "angry".

Lucien: Or, each time a new emotion arises because of you, there is some self-exploration that I’m not good with.

Lucien: But I seem to be making progress, like now - the latter has gradually become something I'm good at.

Lucien: Anything else?

[Option B: A sly fox]

MC: On the surface, he is the gentle and elegant Professor Lucien, but in private he is a sly ‘fox’!

MC: Not only does he often ‘trap’ me, but he also likes to secretly tease me.

MC: Even though I was alert and vigilant, I still couldn't prevent his schemes!

Lucien: Then perhaps this is the "animal" natural behavior in the face of someone he likes.

Lucien: Uncontrollably approaching, trying to attract the other person's attention.

Lucien: All this just because he wants to be closer to the other person.

Lucien: Anything else?

MC: My rant is over.

Lucien: You are the bravest girl I have ever met, and the one who always brings hope.

Lucien: So more than wanting to roast or ridicule you... I just want to say that I'm glad to have met you like this.

[Option A: Agree With Him]

MC: (shyly) ヾ(⁠=⁠^▽⁠^⁠=⁠)ﾉ

Lucien: I really like your smile at this moment. It has been forever framed in my heart.

[Oppose him]

MC: (⁰⁠ Д⁠ ⁠⁰⁠ ⁠*)ﾉ

Lucien: Are you saying that I made you braver?

Lucien: But I don’t think that’s very accurate. Rather, I would say that-

Lucien: It is love that has made us what we are now.

MC: Anything else?

Lucien: So, please stay by my side more often.

Lucien: Although it sounds a bit selfish, one can't help but instinctively move closer to warmth.

Lucien: And I’m no exception.

[Option A: Agree With Him]

MC: ヾ(⁠=⁠^▽⁠^⁠=⁠)ﾉ

Lucien: Now that you've agreed to it, why don't you start "fulfilling" it in every aspect of our lives?

Lucien: For example - with every scenery we see, every delicious food we eat, and every warmth as we hug each other when we get home.

[Oppose him]

MC: (⁰⁠ Д⁠ ⁠⁰⁠ ⁠*)ﾉ

Lucien: If you feel that staying in the same place is too stagnant, how about following in each other's footsteps and moving forward?

Lucien: Let every unknown part of the future leave traces that belong to us.

[Kristof: We're less and less a Christian nation, and I blame some blowhards]

Nicolas Kristoff :: Oct 27, 2019

Perhaps for the first time since the United States was established, a majority of young adults here do not identify as Christian.

Only 49% of millennials consider themselves Christian, compared with 84% of Americans in their mid-70s or older, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center (Religion, Oct. 19).

We don’t have good historical data, and the historians I consulted are wary of definitive historical comparisons. But something significant seems to be happening. The share of American adults who regard themselves as Christian has fallen by 12 percentage points in just the past decade.

“The U.S. is steadily becoming less Christian and less religiously observant,” the Pew study concluded.

Some on the religious right will thunder that this as a result of a secular “war on Christianity.”

“Christians and Christianity are mocked, belittled, smeared and attacked,” declared an essay on Fox News’ website, plaintively titled, “How Long Will I Be Allowed to Remain a Christian?”

This mockery of Christians is, as I’ve written many times, both real and wrong. But a far bigger threat to the “brand” of Christianity comes, I think, from religious blowhards who have entangled faith with bigotry, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia. For some young people, Christianity is associated less with love than with hate.

“Pompous right-wing political chest-thumping, and an unwillingness to listen on matters like climate change or racism, has contributed to a perception by millions that Christianity is irrelevant, or worse yet, a threat to progress,” the Rev. Richard Cizik, the leader of a group of self-described “new evangelicals” with moderate views, told me. “That’s a real burden to carry going into the 21st century.”

Cizik, who was fired from the National Association of Evangelicals in 2008 after he expressed support for civil unions for gay people, added that Christianity’s reputation suffers from backward views on women’s issues and from the unwavering support among evangelical hard-liners for President Donald Trump.

“Trump has played them like a fiddle,” he said.

It would be difficult to imagine a president more at odds with Jesus’ message than Trump, a serial philanderer and liar who has persecuted refugees, divided families, exploited the poor and allegedly committed sexual assaults. When Trump in 2016 was asked to name a favorite part of the Bible, he muttered “an eye for an eye” — a reference to an Old Testament passage that Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, specifically renounced.

That is the opposite of the Christianity whose heroic side I’ve often praised: A Catholic doctor in Sudan’s Nuba mountains … a missionary doctor in Angola … nuns everywhere. If they were the face of Christianity, its reputation would be golden. Likewise, Christian organizations like International Justice Mission, Mercy Ships, Catholic Relief Services and World Vision labor to make the world a better place. Across America, a crucial safety net comes from churches organizing food pantries and emergency shelters.

Surveys find that religious Americans donate more to charity than secular Americans and are substantially more likely to volunteer. In a Pew survey in 2016, almost two-thirds of highly religious Americans said they had donated time, money or goods to help the poor in the past week.

There’s nothing about faith that necessarily makes it a bastion of conservatives. Martin Luther King Jr. and many other liberal civil rights leaders were shaped by their Christian beliefs, Jim Wallis is a liberal evangelical writer with a large following, and Jimmy Carter is truly the unTrump, at age 95 still building houses for the needy. But today’s prominent evangelical leaders are mostly conservatives.

Pew’s latest report found that nonbelievers are gaining ground fast. “Nones” — those with no particular religion — now account for more than one-quarter of the American population. There are substantially more nones than Catholics.

The decline in religion is particularly evident among young people. Those born between 1928 and 1945 are only 2 percentage points less likely to identify as Christian than they were a decade ago, while millennials are 16 percentage points less likely to call themselves Christians.

“Adults coming of age today are far less religious than their parents and grandparents before them,” said Gregory Smith of the Pew Research Center.

Smith noted that the data seem consistent with the argument made by leading scholars that young adults have turned away from organized religion because they are repulsed by its entanglements with conservative politics. “Nones,” for example, are solidly Democratic.

The upshot is that a majority of white adults now attend church just a few times a year at most. Blacks and Hispanics are more likely to attend, although their attendance is dropping, too.

The central issue is that faith is supposed to provide moral guidance — and many moralizing figures on the evangelical right don’t impress young people as moral at all. Sen. Jesse Helms said in 1995 that AIDS funding should be cut because gay men get the disease. The Rev. Jerry Falwell and the Rev. Pat Robertson initially suggested that God organized the 9/11 terror attacks to punish feminists, gays and lesbians.

God should have sued Falwell and Robertson for defamation. But, in some sign of karma, a survey found that gays and lesbians have higher public approval than evangelicals do.
