• Data modelling and auditing
• Data cleansing and maintaining integrity
• Search functionalities across an application ecosystem with NLP
• Automated testing suite with a focus on security and data privacy
• Intelligent data extraction and processing via pre-modelled operations, predictive services and forecasting tools
• Process management and optimisation
DATA PRIVACY WILL PLAY A LARGER ROLE
