WELCOME TO 4QuadData Consulting!

Introducing an alternative approach to data ... The Data Quadrant Solution

Data, if not described and categorized in a very clear and logical way, causes ambiguity and that can, and normally is, the downfall of a project when it comes to driving technology solutions with business objectives -David Timony, Founder, CDO, 4QuadData

    • Our Cloud Migration Mantra

    If your not increasing revenue or reducing costs, reconsider cloud migration !! -David Timony, Founder, CDO, 4QuadData

    CLoud migration and modernization is our expertise, specifically, capital markets !!

    Analyze
  • Not adding revenue / reducing cost, don't migrate
  • Components are migrated, not applications
  • Technology teams do the work, embrace them
  • Risk and control groups can stop you, embrace them
  • Platform support are the go-no-go, ensure readiness
    • Reflect
  • Cloud migration is not new, just outsourcing with additional services
  • Technology is overhead, convince the business it is worth it
  • Migrating components without the associated data will be costly
  • Operational costs will increase until the entire ecosystem is migrated
  • Remember cloud providers prefer everthing, nothing on-prem
    • Prioritize
  • Recovery time objecives (RTO)
  • Recovery point objectives (RPO)
  • Data categorization
  • Assess "chatty" applications
  • International requirements
    • Deploy
  • Operational support model in place
  • Stakeholders informed and on deployment calls
  • Deployment gameplan shared with all parties
  • Soft-deploys followed with cutover

    • Understand your data BEFORE you migrate to a cloud platform

    The Quadrants of Data - Deeper Dive

    EACH QUADRANT PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN DEFINING, GOVERNING AND DISTRIBUTING DATA
    Quadrant I

    Market Data

    Data elements used as an input to valuation that are either derived internally or sourced externally from a market data provider
    Quadrant II

    Product Data

    Economic data elements that define a product that, if altered, would transform it into a completely different product and/or affect the mark-to-market
    Quadrant III

    Reference Data

    Non-Economic data elements used mainly to group other quadrants together for position or market analysis in order to describe other quadrants or be used for drop-down lists and/or domain data
    Quadrant IV

    Trade Data

    Economic data elements that define the what, where, when and who something was traded with. These data elements would only contain the data used for afformation, confirmation, settlement and clearing and have identifying information around the product and client
