11 May TenPoint7 Launches to Solve Enterprise’s Data Preparation Challenges – A Founder’s Perspective

I’ve heard people claim that data is the new “black gold”. We have so much information these days in business, financial services, healthcare, retail, government, among other industries. The challenges now revolve more around making good use of, rather than just the collection of, data.

To this regard, a new generation of data discovery and visualization tools have emerged that purportedly requires little to no technical skills, yet produces insightful and visually appealing data stories. These “next” generation tools, however, still require proper data provisioning, data preparation, data delivery and data analysis.

In today’s competitive business world, enterprises must get to the data faster than ever before. The business users need to be closer to the data to make key decisions that drive their business. This means all enterprises still need to do the “heavy lifting” of provisioning and prepping the data in a way that is relevant for the business requirements. Then, the data needs to be delivered and analyzed in a timely manner.

Additionally, the inability of enterprises to get the data it needs, on demand, is more than just a nuisance. Serious enterprise security issues surface when employees resort to using rogue data and technology thereby creating horrific nightmares for IT. And let’s not forget the real risk that enterprises face making bad business decisions due to poor data quality issues.

As a serial entrepreneur with experience in business intelligence and big data, I understand the outstanding demand from companies for getting at their data in a useful and timely manner. That is why I have founded TenPoint7.

We are data experts who understand how to support enterprises to get their data in a timely, efficient and relevant way. We work with companies to augment their internal efforts or we can be an outsource partner.

Our team of experts are from different parts of the world, organized into efficient teams to support each client’s demands in a cost effective manner. Accessing and keeping relevant, clean data isn’t always difficult but it often requires specialized technical skills and can be very time consuming to valuable internal resources (i.e. developers, business analysts, sales personnel, among other key employees).

I’ve been fortunate to have been involved in seven startups (five of which are in still thriving businesses). I know this is a need for many companies as properly leveraging their data is now a matter of competitive advantage, as well as long-term survival. I’ve assembled a world-class team of experts from years of working in this industry. I’ve developed a services methodology from having built various successful consulting companies. In the end, any services company will be only as successful as the talent and experience of the individuals that comprise the team.

Black gold did not magically appear from the vast oil deposits of the world. It required skilled people, specialized tools, innovation, and passionate entrepreneurs. TenPoint7 will be instrumental in assisting many companies in their journey to become a data driven enterprise and discover the financial and competitive differentiation undiscovered in their vast data deposits.
