Big Insights for Small Business
At Sysware we create big opportunities for small business
Why is it the insights and information that drives your business is usually only available to large organisations.
Sometimes to get valuable insights the price tag is disproportionate to your revenue, sometimes it is the huge effort in time, technical resources and disparate systems that prevent you from getting the insight you need.
At Sysware we don’t believe this should be the case.
Our 30 years of experience has been built on working with big organisations bringing data together in a way that it all connects. Then creating insightful reporting and predictive models that help make smart decisions that save resources and improve the bottom line. Traditionally this powerful insight was only available to large organisations with big technology budgets. So we sat down with our team and said there has go to be a better way!
How are we different?
By simply applying our large-scale expertise. We use the same principles of data management, reporting dashboards to deliver the same analytical insight but just at a smaller scale.
What do you get?
We bring your data together
First, we bring your data together from your various and often non communicative systems into one place we make sure it is all connected so that a data point like your customer is connected across all your platforms like your Point of Sale System, Financial, Inventory and Marketing.
Actionable reports
Then we run our reporting tools to provide you clear, concise and insightful reporting in one place in one dashboard. These reports will provide you actionable analysis and insights to help you make changes to improve your bottom line!
Help you plan
Sometimes when we look to grow our business through capital investment, expansion, inventory commitments, promotions, changes to your production or marketing, wouldn’t be great to forecast what the likely results of this effort could be. This is the second and equally valuable output of what we provide. Our predictive insight reporting will show you the impact of these plans.

Big Data Engineering
The Data Engineering process is the result of technology disruption in what we used to call Big Data.
As the industry moves toward data management; environments that deliver insights from AI; and Machine Learning leveraging the cloud for agility; current technologies that we used in the past to use to manage big data won’t be big enough to tackle this evolutionary step.
Sysware makes appropriate data accessible and available to various data consumers, including data scientists, data analysts, business analytics and business users.
Our Data Engineers enable data users across an enterprise with clean, quality data they can trust, so they can drive better business insights and actions.
The toughest challenge for AI and advanced analytics is not AI - it’s actually data management at scale. But the scale of data has far exceeded the technologies that traditionally managed it.
Hadoop, MapReduce, Yarn, HDFS, are among the key technologies that enabled organisations to handle high volumes, wide varieties, and various types of data, i.e., big data. Compute, storage, and big data management were all closely tied together to drive data and analytics success from data lakes and data warehouses.
The adoption of cloud and advent of technologies have all ushered in the era of big data engineering, effectively uncoupling storage and compute, enabling faster processing of multi-latency petabyte-scale data with auto-scaling and auto-tuning. Cloud has been one of the biggest disruptors of big data – by separating storage and compute, by making it easy to scale and tune servers, and by bringing huge cost savings – in processing data engineering pipelines at scale.
Serverless: Serverless capability enables enterprises to build applications comprised of microservices that run in response to events, auto-scale for you, and only charge you when they run. This lowers the total cost of maintaining your apps, enabling you to build more logic, faster.
To understand the impact of data engineering on AI and analytics, let’s look at it from the vantage point of these data users.
- Lines of business (sales, finance, marketing, supply chain, etc.) need to answer key questions such as:
- How can data help me predict what will happen?
- How can data help me understand what has happened?
- How can my staff collaborate better and prepare data more easily?
Further, data scientists are spending 80% of their time in preparing the data, versus building the models; so, they’re asking:
- How will I find the right data for my modelling?
- How will I make this data available in my ML environment?
- How can I ensure I trust the data for my modelling?
- Can I simplify data prep so I can spend more time on modelling?
- How can I deploy and operationalise my ML models into production?
Similarly, data analysts do not have the right data for business insights to help drive actions, and they want to know:
- How will I find the right data for my business insights?
- How will I make this data available in my data lake?
- How can I ensure I trust the data?
- Can I simplify data prep so I can spend more time on analysis?
- How can I easily collaborate with my peers and IT for ongoing changes?
Data engineer to the rescue
Let our team help data scientists and data analysts find the right data, make it available in their environment, make sure the data is trusted and that sensitive data is masked, ensure they spend less time on data preparation, and operationalise data engineering pipelines.
- Discover the right dataset with an intelligent data catalogue
- Bring the right data into your data lake or ML environment with mass ingestion
- Operationalise your data pipelines with enterprise-class data integration
- Process real-time data at scale with AI-powered stream processing
- Desensitise confidential information with intelligent data masking
- Ensure trusted data is available for insights with intelligent data quality at scale
- Simplify data prep and enable collaboration with enterprise-class data preparation

Business Intelligence
At Sysware Group we take your information challenges and requirements and turn them into answers and insight. We use our experience, skills and technologies to design solutions that draw together the information you already collect, and turn it into the intelligence you need to make critical business decisions.
Our consultants can help you transform your data into valued information, enabling you to manage and use your data in meaningful and intelligent ways.
We apply BI technology and analytics to provide;
- Data warehouse design and development
- Reporting capability and development dashboards and cubes
- Data integration (ETL) development
- Data mining, segmentation and modelling
Our Approach
Sysware Group deliver solutions that at their heart retain business vision and context, but avoid using traditional monolithic, “big bang” approaches that have failed in the past and often incur significant resources and budget to implement.
At the start of each relationship, we sit down with key business owners from finance to marketing to ensure the business needs are met with the proposed solution and most importantly the BI solution is aligned to the organisations business imperatives. We then use an iterative methodology to regularly achieve milestones and progress very rapidly. Revisions and enhancements are incorporated quickly following industry best practice to dramatically improves your return on investment and let you start using your data faster.
Providing the Missing Link
Our goal is to provide the missing link that transforms your organisation’s information into meaningful, timely and reliable business information. And we present it to business managers and decision makers in ways that they can use to make informed decisions. We do this by engaging with the whole of the organisation, talking to key stakeholders about what they really need to know. This enables business unit owners and the leadership team to:
- Make well-founded business decisions
- Monitor and actively manage performance
- Make the links between day to day operations and overall business performance
- Accurately report to stakeholders
- Manage organisational risk
- Retain and build your customer-base
