Frequently Asked Questions

What is data engineering, and why does my business need it?

Data engineering is the process of designing and building systems that collect, store, and transform data so it’s usable for analytics and decision-making. Businesses need it to eliminate silos, improve efficiency, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.

How is data engineering different from data science?

Data engineers build and maintain the infrastructure (pipelines, warehouses, integrations) that make data accessible and reliable, while data scientists use that data to generate insights, build models, and create forecasts.

What tools and technologies do you use for data engineering?

We work with a variety of modern platforms and tools, including (but not limited to) Snowflake, Databricks, Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, Apache Spark, SQL, Python, and custom ETL/ELT frameworks, depending on your organization’s needs.

How do you ensure data accuracy during a migration?

We use automated validation and reconciliation checks at every step to confirm that migrated data matches the original source, preserving accuracy, completeness, and integrity.

Can you migrate data from on-premise systems to the cloud?

Yes — we specialize in cloud migration projects, whether moving from legacy databases to cloud warehouses like Snowflake, or modernizing hybrid environments for scalability and cost savings.

Will our business experience downtime during migration?

Our approach prioritizes minimal disruption. We often run systems in parallel during migration so your operations remain uninterrupted until the new system is fully validated.

How long does a typical migration or integration project take?

Timelines vary based on scope and complexity. A small migration may take anywhere from a week to 6 weeks, while enterprise-wide integrations can take several months. We always provide a clear roadmap upfront.
