It's here! Announcing the launch of our new Website

-


MindStep is proud to launch our new website, www.mindstep.ca. We have designed it with you in mind. It is simple yet it conveys what you are looking for.

 The MindStep team is ready to help you solve both the architecture of your systems and your data needs. Our experts can identify inefficiency in terms of CPU, memory or storage utilization.  In the cloud world how you manage these can make a huge difference to your bottom line. 

 We also understand that people today demand relevant information, not just a collection of data. Our experts will analyze your data requirements and provide professional advice on how you can transition from data silos to a federated data store with minimal risks.  The main differentiator in our approach is that we do not believe in ETL, which forces everything into a single central database, nor do we believe that a single data technology resolves all problems.  

 We strongly believe in Web Semantic and offer corporate training on the subject.  We invite you to visit our site and our blog on a regular basis. We will publish articles periodically detailing how you can transition from disparate data sources to a single federated information store and/or Knowledge Graph.

 If you have any questions or feedback you would like to share with our team, simply contact us at info@mindstep.ca. 

 We look forward to staying connected.

Lack of knowledge main reason for Knowledge Graph POC failures

A lot of problem today can  easily be resolved with a Knowledge Graph, and out of box  technologies do exists today. Our favorite technology for such problems is the Resource Description Framework (RDF), often referred to has Web Semantic. It relatively simple yet extremely powerful and best of all it's an industry standard.   Unfortunately this or other graph data store for that matter are often set aside in-lieu of building an in-house custom graph engine using their favorite programming language  over a relational database and in memory cache.  Why? Ironically the reason is because of lack of knowledge. For example, I was invited to an architecture review for an application to resolve a problem that was a great use case for using RDF. As you can guess, their solution included building an in-house custom graph engine over a relational database. The first question I ask was how much effort to building this custom engine logic, to which they answ...

Stay tuned. We will publish articles regularly with lots of tips and best practices. Next week we will discuss how you can build efficient systems with powerful data store without having to ETL all the data in a single central database. Who says a central data store has to be in a single database?
