Automated Multi-System Data Integration Platform for Enhanced Predictive Analytics

The client seeks to enhance their existing data infrastructure by integrating additional contextual information from multiple external systems. Existing data stored in their primary platform lacks comprehensive context, limiting the effectiveness of machine learning models. They face challenges in quickly and reliably incorporating external data feeds, particularly when APIs are documented with RAML specifications, and require a flexible, scalable solution to support ongoing data enrichment efforts.

A mid to large-sized enterprise aiming to expand its data ecosystem by integrating external data sources to enrich internal datasets for advanced machine learning applications.

• Develop an automated system capable of ingesting and integrating data from multiple third-party systems through their APIs, primarily documented in RAML.
• Create a flexible mechanism to automatically generate internal data models based on external API schemas.
• Implement an efficient, scalable data loading process supporting full and incremental data snapshots.
• Enable the internal platform to function as a general-purpose data store for diverse external data sources, facilitating advanced predictive analytics and machine learning.
• Reduce manual effort and time required for data model creation and data ingestion, thereby accelerating data-driven decision-making.

• Universal mechanism to parse API schemas and automatically generate corresponding internal data models.
• Automated data loading process supporting both full snapshots and incremental updates.
• Integration of multiple external data sources with APIs documented in RAML or similar specifications.
