Empower: Analytics as a Service

Hitachi's Empower managed service platform brings a full-featured Modern Data Estate to customers in week one. With our managed services team, customers benefit from Hitachi's Generation 3 Data Acquisition and Mapping tools, which provide full management of standard Azure Data Services. These tools, offered exclusively with this managed service, provide a better way to build and grow a modern data estate. While your teams focus on mapping data into data models with our team, Hitachi keeps the core data pipeline running with a 24/7 NOC/SOC and advanced fleet management tools. Moreover, as a subscription model, customers can skip six or even seven-figure expenditures to getting started in Synapse/ADF/ADB at scale.

This solutions benefits:

• C-suite and operations teams that want to build out operational reports and analytics quickly and cost-effectively,
• IT VP's and Architects who desire to focus on value-added modeling/informational tasks, and not core data engineering requirements,
• existing data engineering teams that want to streamline their jobs and processes with automation and APIs.

This solution solves the general problems with traditional modern data estate implementations which include:

1. Significant capital expense ($500K+)
2. Long timeline to production
3. Lack of skillsets to manage the data estate
4. Long requirements gathering with end-users
5. Understanding complexities with modern data estates
