Socrat universal connector

Get a greater grip of your data. Socrat Universal Connector can help your business in setting up centralized data-related tasks that perform like an orchestra. Manage and setup reliable data workflows, whether it be aquiring external data for later processing, managing your internal company network where data needs to flow in a predictable and managable way. Manage data intended for machine learning/AI processing: optimize your business revenue streams with big data being fed to the AI algorithms, A/B testing for increasing sales or figuring out customer’s needs. Or simply setup some database backup pipelines where you shift data around on a schedule.

Socrat Universal Connector makes it easy to setup reliable data flows, data storage (structured and unstructured), processing, reporting etc… And all from a centralized command centre where you can manage all of the tasks mentioned, and more! Data is the primary fuel for businesses, even more so important than ever before. Managing it in a reliable and scalable way is mission-critical wheather it be eliminating redundant processes related to managing data and therefore increasing efficiency, preparing scraped data for further processing, even manage A/B testing for email campaigns you might have. These being just examples of course, the possibilities are quite diverse. Hence the ‘universal’ part of the name.

Also, if your company has some specific needs that have to be custom-tailored, we can help you analyze, identify and setup extended custom functionality within our software.

So, what does the platform do in a bit more detail? It helps you to programmatically author, schedule and monitor workflows or data pipelines. That means you can setup reliable relationships between worker nodes on a network, especially where there’s a need for tasks performing duties on data based on the outcomes of other tasks. This type of optimization can result in a massive increase in both your data manipulation speed, reliability, and ultimately help in future-proofing your company.

Monitor task statuses in real time, receive generated reports via email, get notified of any errors or the like on time. The Socrat Universal Connector let’s you do all that from one place. It’s that simple. With a clean UI, logically placed and separated command centre you can setup data operations in no time. Don’t know how or don’t want to manage it by yourself? We can help with the expertise on premises and help you setup all you need. Just let us know what your need is and we’ll set it up for you. Integrated testing helps too, which is also included in the software package. It can help setup processes in a sandboxed environment and run simulations with dummy data. Automated deployment is also possible and frankly quite easy to setup. Setup a CI/CD workflow in no time to push newly written code to all the machines necessary.

Advantages over other approaches:

Can handle upstream/downstream dependencies gracefully
Easy to reprocess or manage previously run jobs by date, or rerun for specific intervals
Jobs can pass parameters to other jobs downstream
Handle errors and failures gracefully. auto-retry tasks if they failed previously
Continuous integration, easily deploy your workflows when you change them
Integrations with a lot of infrastructure (hive, presto, druid, AWS, Google cloud, etc.)
Data sensors to trigger tasks when data becomes available
Job testing in a sandboxed environment and running simulations with dummy data
Easily accessible log files and metadata through the web command centre, everything is in one place
Implement trigger rules for tasks
Real-time monitoring of all jobs’ statuses, email warnings are sent if a job triggers an error

Distributing, scheduling, executing tasks across worker nodes has never been easier. Once setup, Socrat Universal Connector is ready for almost infinite scalability, limited only by the hardware it runs on. Easily inspect or modify previously run tasks, look at logs to discover potential pipeline problems, sort and organize reports as necessary.

Most common use cases:

DATA WAREHOUSING: cleanse, organize, data quality check and publish/stream data into your growing data warehouse
MACHINE LEARNING: automate machine learning workflows
GROWTH ANALYTICS: compute metrics around guest and host engagement as well as growth accounting
EXPERIMENTATION: compute A/B testing experimentation frameworks logic and aggregates
EMAIL TARGETING: apply rules to target and engage users through email campaigns
SESSIONIZATION: compute clickstream and time spent datasets
SEARCH: compute search ranking related metrics
DATA INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE: database scrapes, folder cleanup, applying data retention policies
