Cliche as it may sound, a big part of “staying on top” is to always “be willing to learn new things.“  If the world of data science is continuously evolving, then we as a company need to keep learning new concepts to evolve with it. At Xentity, we strive to remain on top of trends in data science so we can better assist our clients with their various projects. And we want to take this opportunity to teach how we “stay on top”, in the hope being that we can help with our knowledge of the evolving world of data science.

Our goal is to learn and understand the newest approaches, patterns and concepts in business, technology, policy and governance that could help enhance customer capabilities in our core services based on readiness, maturity, and industry need in data science. In research, we continually re-invest in new models, patterns, and constructs that go back into our designs. We are also investigating new data solution architectures and methodologies to keep up with massive, and rapid change. Furthermore, our research will be in testing early architecture concepts and patterns that are new to client programs and organizational adoption. Also, research enhancements in management constructs. This could also result in adding credibility to newer architectural patterns, analyzing or creating methods, approaches, and maturity for readiness for client adoption in corporate and government environments.

How Can Integrating Data Enhance Products, Management, Applications, Remote Sensing, Knowledge Building, And Culture Impacts (Positive And Negative)?

We are participating in forward looking academic research looking at the next wave of architecture and management in regards to Data Science. This research involves asking questions such as:

  • Can place-based and geospatial data themes, products and services be demonstrated in business cases to truly impact all areas of business, from earth-based issues to enterprise resources to social science?
  • What is the right level of progression for metadata programs to enter into improved discovery?
  • What is the investment balance of moving into semantic web models or interpretative signals and machine learning?
  • Do we understand how national and industrial datasets guide strategic national or corporate investment in maturing data strategically?
  • How can we accelerate the induction of supply chain management concepts that have been proven for decades in capital investment and industrial engineering, into data science and data management?
  • How do we take crowdsourcing to not only enhance data, but increase the quality output of data and reducing the energy?

These are some of the questions we are actively seeking to engage in the study of data science. Our research areas seek to test early architecture concepts, patterns, and management constructs that are new to client programs and organizational adoption.

What Topics Are We Interested In?

We are actively working and establishing new research partnership academia (i.e. major university research hubs, local STEM programs), government (i.e. Federal Programs, State, Local), municipal services (i.e. water utilities), and engineering/scientific services.

In considering the types of innovative data science research that Xentity seeks to transform, the following  examples capture some of the directions Xentity is investigating.
