A week's worth of manual data preparation in minutes
Reducing time to insight with intelligent data preparation
A New Approach to Data Preparation
Our Data Preparer software provides a new approach to preparing data for analysis. In Data Preparer, you describe what you need, and the software works out how to produce it.
Hands-off Data Preparation
Data Preparer wrangles data without laborious hand-crafting of data preparation programs. In Data Preparer, you:
Describe what you need
Provide data sources, a target structure, quality priorities and example data. The target structure and quality priorities make explicit what you need. The example data provides evidence that is used by Data Preparer to clean and integrate the data.
Hand over to Data Preparer
Data Preparer explores how the data sources relate to each other and the target, and populates the target from the sources. Data Preparer explores different ways that the sources can be combined, and reformats data to increase consistency.
Refine the result
Provide feedback on the result or revise priorities, and Data Preparer will derive a new result. Data Preparer captures provenance, so it is clear how every result has been produced. This allows you to refine how the data is produced without reprogramming.
Applying Data Preparer
Data Preparer can be applied in a variety of use cases, including:
Onboarding
Identifying and understanding relevant entities in a collection of sources for integrated analysis.
Outside Insight
Identifying how external data sources can be combined with internal data to provide context for analysis.
Consolidation
Bringing together the different sources of data of some type within an organisation to give a more complete picture.
Who Should Use Data Preparer?
Data Scientists
People tasked with analysing data sets, potentially for a third party.
Knowledge Workers
Application specialists who need to combine data sets within their area of expertise.
Data Engineers
People tasked with understanding available data and creating new data products.
The Opportunity
Data Scientists are employed to obtain insights from data. However, surveys report they spend 80% of their time preparing data for analysis. Our Data Preparer software takes on lots of the heavy lifting.
Save Time
Data Preparer saves time by automating much of the decision making required when preparing data for analysis.
Unlock Value
Data Preparer unlocks the value in data by searching for ways of combining and cleaning data sets.
