What is a Fractional role and why should you care?
What is a Fractional role and why should you care?

,

A fractional team or a fractional role is one where an organisation gets access to experienced professionals who are hired on a part time or as needed basis.

Fractional professionals typically work across multiple organisations at the same time, providing their expertise where and when it is needed most.

This fractional pattern allows organisations to get access to skills and capabilities that they cannot find, or afford to hire as permanent members of their team.

AgileData Feature #03 – Catalog Browse and Search

,

Data Persona’s can use the Catalog to quickly search, find and access the Data Assets (Tiles) they need to complete a data task, such as supporting the development of Information Products or using the data for analysis.

Topic Tags and Dynamic Filtering allows Data Assets to be easily found using the Organisations business terminology.

With the Menu Anywhere capability they can drill out to any other screen in the AgileData App, retaining the context of the Tile, removing the need to go to the screen and manually searching for that Data Asset again.

Any time a data user performs a data task in the AgileData App, or an automated data task is executed on the AgileData Platform, the Catalog is automagically updated. The Catalog data is treated as a first class citizen, not as data exhaust.

The Catalog is part of a wider ensemble of features that let them search or browse to locate essential Data Assets quickly, view comprehensive details for each set of data, and track the flow of data similarly to parcel tracking.

With Single Sign-On (SSO), users gain streamlined access to the AgileData App, eliminating the need for repeatedly logging in and reducing friction in their data day.

This feature leverages Google Identity and Access Management (IAM) to provide seamless and secure authentication, ensuring that users can easily connect to the platform using their existing credentials.

AgileData’s SSO is not only secure but also scalable, designed to meet the needs of growing teams while maintaining the highest standards of data protection and access control.

5 core Data Collection Patterns
5 core Data Collection Patterns

,

At AgileData, delivering our Fractional Data Service has revealed the diverse challenges of integrating data from varied organisations, industries, and systems. To scale effectively, we’ve adopted five core data collection patterns based on our “Define it Once, Reuse it Often” (DORO) principle:

1. Push
2. Pull
3. Stream
4. Share
5. File Drop

These patterns are supported by a toolkit of tested technologies like Dataddo, Meltano, and Google services, allowing us to solve new data challenges quickly. Our approach ensures flexibility and scalability, always starting with the question: Push, Pull, Stream, Share, or File Drop?

Information Consumers can quickly search, find and access the Information Products they need to answer their business questions.

This feature enables Information Consumers to search and find all the available dashboards, reports and analytical models in the AgileData App, regardless of what third party Last Mile tool they are created in.

It also enables the Information Consumer to quickly open that report or dashboard directly from the Marketplace, when those reports are accessible by a web URL
