Having said that, migrating legacy platforms to the cloud is not easy, and that’s where we come in.
What’s the startup story of Datametica? What kind of Customer Experience do you envision for your customers when you propose migration to the cloud/ cloud solutions?
We started this company with a founding vision that rested on the desire to solve transformation problems related to modernizing the analytical data platforms to reduce cost, reduce business risk, and answer complex business problems at scale. We are unique in our experienced migrating large warehouses to Hadoop at the time when Hadoop was not well known.

How do you lead an organization through technological changes?
I think the key is to stay focused on the customer’s problem; technology is continually evolving. It is important to assess the problem area in detail, in order to select the best technology solution which can scale for the future and keep cost low. I personally don’t believe in complicating the architecture just because of new technology unless that new technology answers a business problem.
What makes you so passionate about the technology space?
Observe the trends of new modern business questions, they are much more complex and require lots of data and computation to extract the answer. My passion is to help enterprises build the right solution using modern technologies that can scale and provide business uplift. I also recommend focusing on data management because it makes data useful. I believe in keeping the architecture and design simple.
How do you keep yourself updated with the latest trends and movements in the industry?
– Most of the time, I speak to the customers, the technical community, and our cloud partners. Altogether, this keeps me updated with the technology trends and issues.
-Read, listen and watch, I invest a lot on subscriptions to business/tech blogs, podcasts and video channels, etc. and it pays off.

To be honest, work doesn’t give me stress. My most favorite time is when I spend time on my innovative thoughts targeted to unlock the business and technical opportunities.
