Enterprise Data Platform

A single source of truth for the whole organisation. BigAI consolidates every source system into a governed lakehouse so that every report and every AI model downstream runs on the same trusted numbers.

Signals

When does an organisation need this?

Every department reports a different number

Finance, Sales and Marketing each compute revenue their own way from their own source, and the numbers never match.

Consolidated reporting takes days

Joining data across systems is still done by hand in spreadsheets — error-prone and impossible to reproduce.

Source systems buckle under queries

Analysts query the ERP or core system directly, slowing transactions during peak hours.

Nobody knows where the data lives

No catalogue, no lineage — a serious problem the moment an auditor asks where a number came from.

Capabilities

What BigAI delivers in a project

Why the data platform comes first

Almost every failed AI project BigAI has been asked to review shares one root cause: the model was built on data nobody could trust. Not a modelling error — an input problem. Missing records, conflicting definitions, or data that arrives too late to act on.

A data platform fixes the foundation. Once there is a single source of truth, everything downstream — reporting, forecasting, AI assistants — becomes cheaper and faster to build.

How BigAI delivers

Projects run in 6–8 week increments. Each increment brings another group of sources onto the platform and hands over a reporting pack that is usable immediately. It is slower at the start, but almost no project has to be rebuilt later.

The hardest part is never the technology. It is getting departments to agree on what each metric means — the most time-consuming step and the one that creates the most durable value.

Ingestion and integration

Connect ERP, CRM, POS, HRM, IoT, files and third-party APIs. Batch loads and real-time CDC both supported.

Layered lakehouse architecture

Bronze / Silver / Gold tiers on open table formats — Iceberg or Delta Lake — separating raw from curated data.

Data quality controls

Automated rules for completeness, validity and duplication, with alerts the moment a pipeline produces anomalies.

Catalogue and lineage

A company-wide data dictionary; trace any dashboard figure back to the source table it came from.

Security and compliance

Row and column level access control, masking of sensitive fields, full access logs — aligned with Vietnam Decree 13/2023 on personal data protection.

Operations and cost control

Pipeline monitoring, autoscaling, partition and storage format tuning so infrastructure cost does not grow exponentially.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The first phase is typically 3–4 months covering 3–5 priority sources — enough to serve the executive reporting pack. Further sources are added in 6–8 week increments. We do not recommend a big-bang delivery: the risk is high and value arrives far too late.

No. The entire stack is open source and runs fully on your own infrastructure. For banks and public sector organisations with data sovereignty constraints, on-premise is usually the default choice.

No. In most cases we keep the existing warehouse and add a lakehouse tier for unstructured, real-time and high-volume data. Replacement is only on the table when license cost or technical limits become a genuine blocker.
