CHICAGO, Sept. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Modak, a leading provider of data engineering solutions, announced Modak Fireshots™, an accelerator for rapid development and deployment of APIs (Application Programming Interface) using a low-code approach. Modak Fireshots™ enables enterprises to easily share their data assets via APIs with internal and external stakeholders.

“Modak Fireshots™ empowers enterprises to respond quickly to the demands of digital transformation by enabling rapid development of APIs. Specifically, for healthcare organizations, Modak Fireshots™ enables interoperability between providers and payers by enabling the exchange of data, following federally recommended FHIR^® standards,” says Milind Chitgupakar, Chief Analytics Officer, and co-founder, at Modak.

Healthcare companies are struggling with data integration required for enabling the HL7^® FHIR^® standards, mandated for exchanging critical patient care data. The traditional approach to meet the FHIR® standards requires high maintenance and monitoring of dedicated FHIR^® servers and additional data stores.

Modak Fireshots™ software takes the burden off IT teams to maintain the FHIR^® data stores and FHIR^® server. Modak Fireshots™ utilizes ‘thin’, reusable templates that allow conversion of data into FHIR^® format, on the fly, eliminating the need for yet another data store.  Healthcare companies now have an opportunity to drive innovation and agility by collaborating with ecosystem partners, through a seamless exchange of data.

Benefits of Modak Fireshots™:

• Develop and deploy complex APIs 5x faster than the traditional approaches.
• Meet US Government HL7^® FHIR^® interoperability guidelines. Shorten development cycle and lower implementation costs.
• Provide improved patient experience by enabling data exchange with external providers and payers.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Modak, a leading provider of data engineering solutions announced today that the company has been recognized as a Representative Vendor in Gartner’s “Market Guide for Data and Analytics Governance Platforms”, published in December 2021.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by Gartner in the Market Guide. In our opinion, Modak’s inclusion strengthens our mission of empowering organizations by enabling data democratization and building a knowledge-driven culture,” said Milind Chitgupakar, Chief Analytics Officer, and Co-founder, at Modak.

The Market Guide makes a strategic assumption that “Through 2025, 80% of organizations seeking to scale digital business will fail because they do not take a modern approach to data and analytics governance.” The report also states, “a data and analytics governance platform is a set of integrated business capabilities that help business leaders and users to evaluate and implement a diverse set of governance policies and monitor and enforce those policies across their organizations’ business systems.”

Modak Nabu™ built from the ground up as a cloud-native modern data platform provides customers with:

1. Automated data pipelines – Simplifying the process of onboarding data from a variety of sources to different cloud environments.
2. Automated data discovery and profiling – Democratizes access to data assets by making them accessible and understandable.
3. Monitoring and Visibility – Provides a real-time view of the progress of data management tasks for stakeholders, from operations to the executive team.

The volume, variety, and velocity of data in the Life Sciences industry is increasing exponentially, making it difficult for organizations to harness “good” data at a faster pace. To accelerate the speed of analytics while complying with regulatory requirements, enterprises require a comprehensive solution for their data management requirements.

Modak Nabu™, a cloud-native modern data platform, has been successfully deployed at leading healthcare and life sciences customers and accelerates the time to insight and value by up to 4x.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Modak, a leading provider of data engineering solutions, today announced they have joined the Starburst Orbit partner program. This partnership will empower organizations to manage their siloed data landscape, optimize cloud operating costs and accelerate the creation of domain-specific data products accessed through a data mesh architecture.

“The partnership will empower organizations to transition from centralized to decentralized data processing and de-couple compute from storage. The unique value proposition will fast-track the creation of contextual business data domain products at reduced time and operational costs,” says Milind Chitgupakar, Chief Analytics Officer, and co-founder, at Modak.

“We’re delighted to have Modak join our partner program to deliver their unique expertise to the pharmaceutical and healthcare market. Starburst is allowing companies to unlock the value of their data by making it fast and easy to access, no matter where it lives, without data movement. We are excited to help our customers bring a more personalized experience to their customers, patients, partners and to build data into their core business,” says Tony Li, Global Head of SIs at Starburst Data.

Enterprise Data Management has evolved, from data warehouses to data lakes, and now to multimodal cloud architecture. All these data architecture models have undergone evolutionary enhancements. But, despite all advancements, some things remain unchanged. Data management architecture and technology are still monolithic, and data remains centralized.

There is a need for a decentralized data management architecture that allows for easier access to data across different data domains, i.e., through a Data Mesh. The fundamental concept behind data mesh architecture is to transfer data ownership to the business owners and users who create the data.  Operationally, the Data mesh architecture allows organizations to treat “data as products”, just like software applications, rather than fragmented data sets centrally managed by IT.

With Modak’s digital accelerators, such as Modak Nabu™ and Starburst’s enterprise-ready, powerful query engine, organizations will be able to create contextual business data domain products accessible through APIs and will move to federated data governance and self-service analytics capabilities.

Modak recently enabled a Top 5 pharma company to productionize six domain data products within months, using cloud and data mesh architecture. The six domain data products are now accessible to thousands of users across the enterprise.

Summary of why Modak and Starburst are your partners to successful data mesh implementation:

• Provide increased personalization to members, customers, and partners.
• Build repeatable data products that bring operational and analytical repositories together.
• Ensure privacy and compliance regulations are not compromised.
• Avoid lock-in, design optionality, and future proof on any cloud provider.
• Search and query data across on-prem and cloud data stores, using your favorite analytical application without moving the data.
