Frequently Asked Questions about Data Strategy

Where do I start if I want to implement a data strategy in my company?

The first thing is to define what business value you want to get from the data: reduce costs, personalize experiences, or enable artificial intelligence. At Itera Process we start with a Data maturity diagnosis, we design a scalable cloud roadmap and build an architecture that generates impact from the first months.

How long does it take to implement a complete data strategy?

A strategy can take weeks or months depending on the complexity of systems and objectives. At Itera Process we accelerate this process with agile methodologies and cloud-proven frameworks, achieving visible results at every stage and avoiding long projects with no tangible value.

What concrete benefits can my business have with a data strategy?

A data strategy enables faster decisions, reduced operating costs, increased sales, and risk prevention. Itera Process helps turn information into a growth engine, with success stories where data went from being a liability to a strategic asset.

Security, Compliance, and Governance

How secure is it to deploy a data project in the cloud?

The cloud can be more secure than an on-premise infrastructure when it is well designed. Itera Process applies encryption, access control, and continuous monitoring, plus advanced AWS Premier Partner resources, to ensure protection at every stage.

How do I ensure regulatory compliance on my data (ISO, GDPR, LATAM)?

Compliance must be built into the design. At Itera Process we apply Data Governance and Compliance aligned with international regulations such as ISO and GDPR, and local regulations in Mexico, Spain, Colombia and Peru, reducing legal risks and strengthening trust with customers.

Why is data governance important and how to apply it in my company?

Data governance ensures quality, traceability and reliability throughout the organization. Itera Process implements data governance models that allow working with transparent information, driving operational efficiency and competitive advantage.

How do I prevent my Data Lake from becoming a "data swamp"?

A poorly managed data lake becomes chaotic and unusable. At Itera Process we apply DataOps, cataloging, and quality control from the start, avoiding messy accumulation and ensuring an ecosystem ready for advanced analytics.

Architecture and technology

What is the difference between a Data Warehouse, a Data Lake, and a Data Lakehouse? How do I know which one is best for my business?

The Data Warehouse organizes structured data for reporting, the Data Lake stores raw information, and the Lakehouse Combine both to enable advanced analytics. Itera Process evaluates your business cases and designs the architecture that maximizes ROI and scalability.

How do I connect my existing systems with a new data platform?

Integration must be done without interrupting the operation. Itera Process implements Modular ETL/ELT and scalable APIs that connect your current systems with new cloud platforms, maintaining continuity and reducing technical risks.

How do I avoid lock-in to a single cloud provider in my data strategy?

The key is to adopt a multi-cloud architecture based on open standards. Itera Process designs portable and flexible solutions that avoid lock-in, leveraging AWS’s advanced resources but ensuring long-term technological independence.

Quality and adoption

What if my data is not clean or inconsistent?

Low-quality data leads to wrong decisions. At Itera Process we apply cleansing, standardization and validation processes, ensuring that each area works with reliable information and that decisions are based on facts, not assumptions.

How do I ensure that business users adopt new data platforms?

Adoption occurs when technology is perceived as useful and accessible. Itera Process drives that adoption with intuitive dashboards, practical training and continuous support, strengthening a data-driven culture throughout the organization.

Do I need specialized talent to operate a Data Lakehouse or can I rely on managed services?

You don’t need to build a great in-house team from scratch. Itera Process offers Managed cloud services to operate the platform while we train your team in key competencies, ensure
