Overview of MIMOS Technologies

The rapid volume and growth of data demands better flow of data

collection, data management and data analysis. MIMOS technologies

are positioned in five key areas to deliver the benefits of the data deluge

direct to people who need it most and ensuring growth and innovation

for the nation.

· Data Collection

As the volume of data used in businesses and organisations continue

to grow, planning the data collection process itself is becoming more

important. MIMOS’ data collection technologies results in lower cost,

more powerful analysis and more assurance over data integrity and

accuracy.

· Data Modelling

After data collection, data modelling is used to provide a ‘blueprint’ of

the data required for a functional system. With MIMOS’ upcoming data

modelling technologies, systems can be designed to structure and

organise data in such a way that will facilitate the interaction among

players involved.

MIMOS’ technologies in effective data analytics and visualisation

can help decision makers to quickly examine large amounts of data,

expose trends and issues efficiently, exchange ideas with key players,

and influence the decisions that will ultimately lead to success.

· Data Infrastructure

As a growing number of enterprises are turning to the cloud for

their computing needs, a flexible data infrastructure is needed to

handle multiple forms of data effectively. MIMOS’ data infrastructure

technologies are vital to data sharing and consumption and to

business operations today.
