This information was then taken on a roadshow throughout the group. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Decision making<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After conducting this research, Synthesis, and the client worked together to make the most informed decision for their environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The software company positioned data streaming architectures against typical enterprise architectures.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe guided the client through the decision process and they picked on-prem managed Confluent because it allowed for the connection between their environments and because of its unappareled enterprise security and reliability which was backed by the first-class support from the Confluent team,\u201d explained Darren Bak, Synthesis Head of Intelligent Data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Implementation and Adoption <\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Synthesis then helped Sanlam with their Kafka implementation and set up their core Kafka cluster.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe lay down the platform for them, together establishing all the standards, the governance, the operating model, and the way in which the client would operationalise and productionise the environment,\u201d explains Nick Walker, Synthesis Solutions Architect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Connected environments<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Synthesis put in place both the Confluent Cloud as well as the Confluent Platform and connected the two applications to enable Sanlam with data mobility and operability between its on-prem environments, Confluent, and its AWS and Azure environments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The client can now use this hybrid world to access newfound innovation and seamless integration, allowing for cross-selling and a universal understanding of the client.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Training\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The client wanted to take this a step further with an in-depth understanding of what Confluent does and how it works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe client was impressive. The team were informed because they made an effort to be informed,\u201d explains Michael Garvie, Senior Data Engineer at Synthesis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey were so deeply curious and the project was so robust that this project educated our team as well as theirs and even had us calling in Confluent. This was a three-way partnership which made us collectively stronger,\u201d says Walker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFrom the beginning of the journey, every action evolved around enabling the client to understand Confluent Kafka so it wouldn\u2019t be dependent on us and so the team was upskilled to act immediately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We ensured they understood how it was set up and why. When they had questions, we didn\u2019t just answer them but gave them tests so they could work out the answers through their own experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In theory, the product we delivered was the Kafka cluster but in reality, it was the deep knowledge of how to use Confident Kafka,\u201d says Garvie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e3e9b84 elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e3e9b84\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-019ff46\" data-id=\"019ff46\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5f99a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e5f99a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Results <br><br><p style=\"font-size: 16px;font-weight: 400\">The client did more than confirm Kafka was the appropriate solution.
