5Y Technology’s Universal Data Model transforms data engineering by replacing repetitive, from-scratch workflows with a standardised approach that dramatically reduces rework and accelerates project delivery.
Why data engineering projects shouldn’t start from scratch

Imagine half the work was already complete before you started your next data engineering project. Watch this video to learn how the 5Y Universal Data Model accelerates the data engineering process by providing a standard to map to, rather than a blank sheet of paper to start from.

In this video, 5Y CTO Paul Saxton explains how the Universal Data Model rips up the traditional data engineering workflow, replacing it with a single standard that 10Xs productivity and rapidly accelerates timelines.

If you’re an engineer or architect who has ever been fed up with the amount of rework every project requires, this is the video for you.

You'll learn:

  • Why the absence of standardisation is the fundamental problem with data engineering today
  • How the UDM replaces the blank sheet with a proven, repeatable standard
  • Why most data projects require rework and how the UDM eliminates it
  • How pulling data from multiple systems into a common structure works in practice
  • How the UDM makes a 10x reduction in delivery timelines possible
