Hi Lume readers - happy new year! We’re excited for what 2024 will bring. One of the initiatives I hope to ramp up is building brand identity. You’ll be seeing more content about Lume on LinkedIn, and blog posts through this newsletter. If you have any content you’d specifically like to see, please let me know at [email protected].

As always, to learn directly about Lume, go to www.lume.ai (we revamped our landing page).

Without further ado, below is our first blog post of the year, where I overview how customers can use Lume.

Automating Data Mapping with Lume AI: Real-World Customer Applications

Introduction

Ever felt bogged down by the complexity and slow pace of data mapping? You're not alone. Current data mapping methods are cumbersome and manual, often taking days or even weeks. In today’s tech-driven world, efficiency is key, and data mapping is a bottleneck. That's where Lume AI comes in, streamlining this essential process down to a matter of seconds.

The Value of Lume AI

Data mapping has traditionally been a manual, time-intensive process in data management, but Lume AI offers a transformative new approach. The breakthrough lies in leveraging AI to automate what was once a painstakingly manual workflow. This approach isn't just an incremental improvement; it's a complete paradigm shift in how data is handled and how to automate data workflows.

The usual process involves a labor-intensive cycle: analyzing data to determine what's relevant, selecting the appropriate properties, developing the mapping logic, and constantly updating mappers to accommodate schema changes in source or target systems. Lume AI disrupts this cycle by automating these steps, significantly accelerating the process. This innovation is particularly relevant in the realms of data normalization and ETL (Extract, Transform, Load), where data mapping is a crucial component.

Use Cases for AI Automated Data Mapping

1. Efficient Client Data Ingestion: Every client brings a unique set of data handling practices. Typically, integrating each new client's data into your system is a unique and time-consuming task. Currently, teams either require customers to do the work to conform to their system, or have to charge for the time it takes to wrangle the client data to fit internal systems. Lume AI simplifies this by enabling the normalization of any data schema quickly and efficiently, treating diverse client data as a unified set, which is a key aspect of data normalization.

2. Normalizing Data from Various Providers: Connecting to different data providers or integrating legacy data can be challenging, especially when discrepancies as minor as column name variations arise. Lume AI addresses this by intelligently analyzing the data, recognizing the nuances among integrated systems, and automating data mapping to your required format.. This capability is crucial for teams looking to transform and grow their data feeds rapidly, offering a groundbreaking approach to data transformation.

3. Rapid Setup and Maintenance of Data Pipelines: Manually creating and maintaining data pipelines for various applications is a resource-intensive task. This can include the above examples of creating pipelines from client or data providers, but it also touches on creating internal pipelines or writing to outbound systems. Lume AI changes this narrative by automating pipeline creation and maintenance by detecting and adapting to changes in the data models. This streamlines data transformation and ETL processes, and ensures efficient data management.

Conclusion

Lume AI offers a significant leap forward in data mapping, allowing teams to focus on innovation rather than getting bogged down in the intricacies of data mapping. By adopting Lume AI, engineers and startup founders can expect a dramatic reduction in the time and resources traditionally required for data mapping, leading to increased efficiency and gaining a competitive edge. With Lume AI, you’ll embrace the future of data transformation, normalization, and ETL. Ready to see how AI can help you transform data in seconds? Request a demo today through this link.
