Mintel technology blog:
Building a modern and scalable cloud-based data platform

This is a really exciting time for our technology teams. From building a massively scalable AI powered data platform to collect and process huge volumes of data, to the data warehouse that empowers our data scientists, supports our analysts, and feeds our data applications, to the cutting edge Javascript web applications and user interfaces used by our clients, everything is being modernised and reimagined in our new platform.

We have more than 150 people working on delivering solutions for our colleagues and clients. We’re looking forward to sharing some of our challenges, successes (and failures!) with you here.
