Data Engineering is a zero-sum game that can make or break your organization. B23 provides the Data Engineering Operational Excellence to enable your success.
Capabilities
At B23, we build high value Big Data and Cloud analytics solutions that bring data closer to the consumer for analysis.
We understand that in today’s fast paced business environment organizations don’t have time to waste waiting on IT. B23 empowers the enterprise to ingest raw data and rapidly transform it to competitive intelligence.
Capabilities
B23 provides a wide range of professional and managed services related to cloud data management, data engineering, and applied machine learning so you get faster and more expert time to value
Hybrid Cloud Data Management
Managing data in the cloud requires a new set of skills and capabilities to comply with an increasing number of compliance regimes and security risks. B23 hybrid cloud codified lessons learned help organizations mitigate these risks when operating in one or multiple clouds. We continue to observe the axiom that there is no compression algorithm for experience.
B23 Data Domains
Understanding how to unlock specific types of cross-industry data types requires know how that only comes from experience. B23 Data Domains are core competencies for specific types of data including social media and news, imagery and video, clickstream, geospatial location, text-based natural language processing, and all forms of consumer transactional data.
Managed Data Engineering
Getting data engineering right is a zero-sum game. B23 can unblock machine learning initiatives in your organization by getting the data engineering, data cleaning, and data wrangling correct quickly, and unlock the full value of your data and algorithms.
Applied Machine Learning Services
Unlocking the full potential of your data requires an in-depth understanding of how modern algorithms can be applied to data flows. B23 helps customers integrate optimized data flows with cloud-based machine learning algorithms to operationalize AI and monetize data-driven insights.
B23 DATA PLATFORM
The B23 Data Platform is an artificial intelligence engine to discover, transform, and synthesize data from a variety of sources to provide unique and predictive insights.


VISUALIZATION
B23 is well versed with many open source JavaScript and commercial visualization applications that enable analysts, data scientists and stakeholders to collaborate and make informed decisions.ANALYTICAL PROCESSING FRAMEWORKS (ALGORITHMS)
B23 helps scale our customers’ custom algorithms on platforms that meet their data size and temporal requirements. We assist implementing algorithms for real-time, micro-batch, and batch processing requirements.DATA STREAMING AND INGEST
B23 uses modern data ingest and streaming technologies to get data from its source to where it can be analyzed. We select the right technology to meet source requirements, data types, throughput, latency, and analytical framework requirements.DATA ACCESS
The nexus between infrastructure and data is what B23 calls the data access layer. B23 uses a variety of applications that are best suited for our customers’ data structure, scheme, scalability, durability, and analytical requirements.INFRASTRUCTURE ABSTRACTION
Infrastructure abstraction and resource management helps organizations use their existing resources more efficiently. Abstracting resources across Cloud providers, compute clusters, or even single machines empowers our customers to gain more control in deciding how to best manage their infrastructure.PROGRAMMABLE INFRASTRUCTURE
Programmable Infrastructure is the key foundation to building dynamic and automated analytical platforms. B23 uses Cloud Application Programmable Interfaces (API’s) and Software Development Kits (SDK’s) to automate the management of software defined networks, software defined storage, and virtualized machines.

What’s with the name B23?
The 23 Enigma is the belief that the prime number 23 appears statistically more often than any other prime number; and that all incidents and events occurring in the world are somehow associated with the number 23 – not to mention it’s the first 2-digit prime number. We hope all of your business events include a 23, but more specifically B23 – and now we know every time you see 23 you’ll think of us.
