For machine learning and data analytics tools and platforms to yield maximum value, data scientists and engineers must work closely with business and product experts to learn what specific insights they are seeking to gain and what data and data relationships might yield those insights. Foresight Data Systems works with your team of business and product experts to map out what insights your company is seeking, what data points you have available today, and what data points you may require but currently lack.
From this initial roadmap, we will first work with your team to address data points required but not currently supported by your enterprise architecture and products in the field. Then, we will help your team analyze the value of machine learning and AI platforms for your specific analysis goals or whether more traditional data analytics tools are better suited to deliver the data insights you seek. Once these design decisions and tool selections are made, our team can either build the full data analytics ingestion infrastructure and analysis toolchain for you as a greenfield project, or we can collaborate with your team, helping to bridge from where your current data infrastructure is to where you need it to be to deliver on the data insights goals we’ve identified.

Web and mobile front-ends are uniquely positioned to make a direct impression on your customer. A poor or outdated web or mobile front-end will draw negative impressions and reviews from your customers, even if the backend supporting that UI is cutting-edge and highly scalable. In addition to these first impression motivations, web and mobile front-ends technologies have advanced very rapidly in recent years. The new baseline for web and mobile UI is quickly incorporating the latest technologies, including Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), Responsive Design, Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP), JSON Web Token (JWTs), and many more.
To remain competitive, companies can no longer assume a build-it-once philosophy when it comes to their customer-facing user interfaces. Foresight Data Systems has deep knowledge of web and mobile application development, including all the latest trends and technologies that are quickly becoming the new standard in customer-facing UI. Our team can help your company assess its current web and mobile front-end UI systems and develop a plan to modernize both your software systems and your customer-facing UI experience. With that roadmap in place, we can either build a new web and mobile front-end UI as a greenfield project, or work with your in-house development team to modernize your existing web and mobile front-end software systems and end-user experience.

Your company’s backend architecture and systems integration strategy have always been a critical part of your company’s software infrastructure. However, today there are new requirements which traditional enterprise systems do not meet, and many CIO’s and CTO’s are not yet taking these new requirements into account as they plan the next generation of their company’s software foundation. For example, in recent years, modern enterprise IT has expanded to include both professional and non-professional software developers, where the latter are using a range of no-code and low-code programming tools. The problem is, traditional enterprise architectures and integration platforms were built by pro developers for pro developers, leaving many IT departments scrambling to figure out how to integrate this new breed of “citizen developer” and their low-code development tools into traditional enterprise IT systems and processes.
Beyond the challenges of integrating citizen developers, backend technologies have undergone a transformation in recent years from more monolithic architectures to much more granular software parts, integrated into a seemless whole using so called “microservices architectures” and “service mesh” technologies, such as Kubernetes, Istio and Consul. Foresight Data Systems are experts on microservice and service mesh architectures. What’s more, we have developed a patented approach to integrating citizen developers and low-code development tools into a complete enterprise architecture and systems integration roadmap that modernizes your core software platform while designing in the citizen developer. Our team can help you navigate these new requirements and technologies and assist you in modernizing your existing software infrastructure, or starting fresh with a greenfield backend architecture that is a drop-in replacement for your existing enterprise architecture, but with greater potential for expansion, scale and security.

Building a highly secure enterprise architecture is as challenging as it is vitally important. However, what is less well understood is that building highly secure enterprise systems requires a skillset and knowledge-base that relatively few software developers possess. Most software engineers are more engaged in feature delivery and leveraging the latest technologies in the language eco-systems of Javascript, Python, Golang etc. How to actually ensure the systems they build are ultimately impervious to cyber attack is often deferred until the latter stages of project schedules and treated as an after-thought. According to a recent Gartner report, citizen’s developers (mentioned above) can exacerbated this problem further, by copying “test data” into their own low-code development environments without realizing that data may contain Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Foresight Data System’s patented enterprise architecture incorporates a highly secure methodology into its software foundations, so that security is designed in. What sets our solution apart is that it achieves this designed-in security transparently, so that neither professional nor citizen developer need understand its complexities to leverage its safeguards. They are free to focus on the core value and features they are tasked with delivering, without concern for how data in situ and in motion are kept secure. Our team can help you engineer a highly secure enterprise architecture, without burdening your development team with the technicalities.
