Our take
The future is data. Yet, companies are not equipped with the knowledge and tools to effectively navigate this transition. After realising that many organisations require support on their data maturity journey, Amber Labs was founded to mature a business' capability in the cloud.
The company is made up of highly skilled consultants and technologists to create an IT consulting firm that specialises in the evolution of Data Engineering, Cloud, and Analytics. Amber Labs has a strong founding team and several rounds of seed funding, hence it will be interesting to see whether its approaches can successfully deliver value from client’s data.
