Big Data FAQs
Do we really need a big data platform?
Not always. If your data fits comfortably in one database, a well-designed data warehouse may be enough. We recommend the simplest option that meets your needs.
Can the platform stay inside Saudi Arabia?
Yes. We can build on in-Kingdom cloud regions or on your own infrastructure.
Can you connect our existing systems?
Yes. We build pipelines from ERP, CRM, apps, databases, files and devices.
How do you keep data secure?
With role-based access, encryption, auditing and data classification planned from the start.
How long does it take?
A first use case is usually delivered within a few months, then the platform grows in phases.
