Lessons Learned from an Architecture Unification Initiative
At Flashpoint, we collect, process & deliver a wide range of information for our users. We plan to discuss some of the lessons learned during a year-long initiative to upgrade our platform, simplify the process of finding relevant data, & build a data infrastructure focused on analytics & self-service. We will also share some of the patterns we discovered along the way with the hope that you can leverage them in your own initiatives.
