Powerful insights driving growth for global brands

To gain a deeper understanding with a complete picture of their data, our client wanted to collect and collate data from multiple sources for analysis and reporting. The data sat across disparate sources and varied in format, volume and velocity, adding to the complexity of the project. The Ardent data engineering team experienced in dealing with large data sets, built robust, scalable data pipelines employing world-leading AWS technologies. The project ensures a high level of data accessibility and accuracy providing the client with reports on an hourly basis.

Protecting content for the biggest names in entertainment

With the mission to provide their end clients with information security, our market research client required a platform that would scour the internet to find any leaked content or information based on specific topics. The Ardent team, proficient in world-leading technologies leveraged AWS Batch, AWS Athena, Elastic Search and Python to deliver a solution which would automate the entire information security process. This significantly helped the client reduce manual processes resulting in saved time, resources and consequently costs.

Driving commercial gain and research

Growing data sets led to the client's existing system performing poorly as it was regularly timing out and delivering search queries at an unacceptable speed. They required a flexible too to significantly speed up their data search queries on their large volumes of complex data. The Ardent team took on the client challenges to deliver a data search engine which would deliver search results quickly and efficiently, a user-friendly interface, and apply the Boolean logic to offer flexibility with the search. This saved the client time, improving their efficiency across the entire process and enabling an ROI.
