    Source layer

    assimil8 > Modern tech stack

    At the foundation of our tech stack is the source layer. This enables data to flow into the system from various sources such as SaaS applications, databases, files, and APIs.


    By partnering with leading vendors such as Mailchimp, Hubspot, SQL Server, Snowflake, Excel, and JSON, we're able to ensure that your data is collected in the most efficient and effective way possible.



    What is the source layer?

    The source layer is a critical component of any modern data stack, as it's the first stage of the data processing pipeline. The goal is to collect data from various sources and make it available for processing, analysis, and reporting.


    At its most basic level, the source layer includes the various sources of data that an organisation uses, such as SaaS applications, databases, files, and APIs. Each of these sources generates data in different formats, which can make it challenging to collect and aggregate data from them.


    The source layer challenge

    To address this challenge, organisations can use a variety of tools and technologies to help them to collect data and clean it up, before making it available for further processing. For example, some organisations will use data connectors, ETL (extract, transform, load) tools, and API integrations to help them source data.


    One of the key benefits of this layer is that it allows you to collect data from a wide range of sources and make it available for further analysis. This is particularly important in today's data-driven world, where companies need to utilise their data to get a comprehensive view of their operations and customers.

    Improving your

    data collection

    The source layer can help you to identify areas of your business where data is lacking or incomplete, allowing you to focus on collecting more data from them. This can lead to better decision-making and improved outcomes, as you’re able to make decisions based on more complete and accurate data.


    So, if you’re looking to collect and aggregate data from various sources to use for further processing and analysis, you need to pay close attention to the source layer. By partnering with leading vendors such as Mailchimp, Hubspot, SQL Server, Snowflake, Excel, and JSON, we’re able to ensure that your data is collected in the most efficient and effective way possible.
