CapTech delivered the solution in two phases. During the first five-month phase, the team established the core services for data storage, processing, and orchestration. They also developed an ingestion framework to load information from five sources. In this phase, data scientists redesigned the product recommendation algorithm to run on the new platform.
In the following four-month phase, the team deployed services to ingest real-time streaming data and made additional enhancements to the platform’s model capabilities. Over this nine-month period, the team proved that ingesting new datasets could be done quickly and easily, provided the capability for iterative model deployments, and trained analysts on migrating their code to the new platform. Overall, the new platform empowered the retailer’s marketing team to effortlessly execute their work.
