The development of a new data platform should generally not be carried out using a lift-and-shift approach, as legacy systems and legacy data will be integrated into the new platform. sumIT recommends a use-case-driven approach, similar to the complete renovation of a house, which means that data architectures are not planned in a vacuum, but are consistently designed based on specific business requirements. Instead of building large, abstract platforms “in advance,” the data landscape is created step by step along clearly defined use cases – where added value is created.
This means that every technical decision is justified by a measurable benefit: better decisions, automated processes, personalized customer experiences, or new data-based products. At the same time, this approach ensures that data quality, governance, and architecture grow exactly to the extent required by the respective use case.

Whether cloud or on-premise data platforms, use case-driven development keeps the benefits at the forefront and quickly increases efficiency for your company.
