InfiniteStack – The Essential Platform for IT Managers
For IT managers and other technology leaders, responsibility extends far beyond building AI and analytics models. They need to ensure that operations involving data and AI function securely, efficiently, and in compliance with regulations like LGPD and GDPR. In the context of agribusiness and the food industry, this includes maintaining automated ETLs and pipelines, observing and monitoring process stages, cataloging sources and models in the Data Product Inventory, and handling a wide variety of data sources.
In this challenging scenario, InfiniteStack emerges as an indispensable platform, helping IT managers implement and sustain AI and analytics initiatives while addressing industry-specific requirements. Let’s explore how this solution meets the key demands of IT managers.
1. Automation and Observability of ETLs and Pipelines
One of the biggest challenges for IT managers is keeping ETLs and pipelines, which feed AI and analytics models, automated and running smoothly. With data sources such as ERPs, CRMs, IoT, IIoT, market, logistical, and climatic data, the complexity of these operations increases exponentially.
InfiniteStack solves this problem by offering a robust framework for creating, automating, and monitoring data pipelines. The Automate feature allows managers to set up automated workflows, while the Observe functionality provides real-time observability of each pipeline stage, identifying and fixing issues before they impact business processes. This reduces the need for manual intervention and ensures smooth, continuous operation.
2. Cataloging and Full Traceability with the Data Product Inventory
For IT managers, cataloging all sources, pipelines, models, and dashboards is essential to ensure data governance and provide transparency for business areas. InfiniteStack addresses this challenge with the Catalog feature, which creates a centralized inventory called the Data Product Inventory, where all sources and models are cataloged and detailed.
This catalog allows business teams to easily consult which data and models are available, avoiding duplication of efforts and promoting a culture of reuse and collaboration. Additionally, the Track functionality offers full traceability (data lineage), helping IT managers understand how each data point or model is formed and used, which is critical for compliance and auditing.
3. Data Governance and Protection of Sensitive Data
A major challenge for IT managers in agribusiness is the protection of sensitive company data. Unlike other sectors where SaaS-based iPaaS solutions are widely used, agribusiness companies need to avoid having their data flow through remote infrastructures. InfiniteStack is an integration platform designed to be deployed locally (on-premise) or in a fully segregated environment, enabling companies to keep their data under full control.
This approach allows IT managers to provide business areas with a secure and managed environment for data analysis, ensuring regulatory compliance and avoiding the creation of data silos. InfiniteStack also offers encryption and role-based access control, adding an extra layer of protection to critical data.
4. Meeting the Speed of Data Product Demands
IT managers constantly face pressure to quickly deliver new data products. InfiniteStack helps accelerate this delivery by enabling ETLs and pipelines to be configured and managed with no-code and low-code features, reducing dependency on highly technical teams. The Leverage feature utilizes all the knowledge generated by the company to automate processes, making data analysis faster and more efficient.
This enables IT managers to meet business area demands with agility, while maintaining a robust and compliant data analysis environment.
5. Preparing the Company for LLMs and Computer Vision
The growing use of AI with computer vision and Large Language Models (LLMs) presents new challenges for IT managers. Many current platforms are not equipped to securely integrate LLMs with internal company data. InfiniteStack addresses this gap by supporting the use of local or fully segregated LLMs.
This means IT managers can harness the power of LLMs to extract value from company data without exposing sensitive information to external platforms. Furthermore, InfiniteStack’s native integration with internal and external data sources, such as Data Lakes, Data Warehouses (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake), and Cloud Storages (e.g., S3), allows LLMs to be used strategically and securely.
6. Avoiding Silos and Promoting Business Alignment
In agribusiness, it’s common for business areas to view IT as slow and bureaucratic, leading to the creation of data silos. InfiniteStack changes this perception by offering a platform that facilitates data integration, cataloging, and traceability. By providing a centralized and collaborative environment, IT managers can position themselves as allies to business areas, promoting the efficient and secure use of AI and analytics.
