Between the producers and consumers is the platform team comprising a small group of ASU CIC data engineers who ensured that the proper infrastructure and services were available.Before SHANA, eThekwini’s water unit kept its data in spreadsheets. It was incomplete and difficult for anyone who wasn’t a data analyst to understand.
The SHANA platform is cloud-based, so it could be set up immediately and scaled as needed. SHANA started with data from three sources, but producers can add more as they need them. Also, the ASU CIC uses 95 AWS services, so the team had access to advanced tools like Amazon QuickSight, which can read and consolidate data in different formats.
