Adaptiv Data & Analytics
Throughout the 12 years we have been operating, we’ve specialised in the business of data. Therefore, creating our data practice was the natural next step. We are pleased to announce Adaptiv’s new Data Practice and the exciting projects we are currently working on with existing customers, Victoria University and LPC.
Victoria University of Wellington
As part of our commitment to providing innovative solutions for data management and integration, we are helping Victoria University move and integrate complex unstructured and structured data sets to their new student management system using Azure Data Factory and Apache Spark. This will allow them to organise and utilise their data, improving the overall efficiency of their operations.
Lyttelton Port Company
Additionally, we are working with LPC to push data to a near real-time dashboard throughout the porting process. This will give them clarity on the vessels and distance to the port, using Azure Data Factory, Azure Functions, and the MS Graph API.
