databee - AI in the Cloud
Health authority implements databee. More than 15 terabytes of data are being prepared for cloud migration. databee is a highly scalable file share data exploration service for any type of file. Machine learning is used to classify documents. The innovative architecture allows files to be analyzed without storing a copy, thus protecting your data. databee scales data from one terabyte to several petabytes.

Microsoft's cloud offering allows for IT cost savings and more flexible work.
However, savings are only possible if the data users work with is actually suitable for the cloud. Unsuitable data in the cloud leads to more expensive Office packages and negates the potential savings.
Simply moving all data to the cloud can cause data synchronization to consume available internal bandwidth, making work more difficult for everyone.
The databee service, developed by Schindler IT-Solutions GmbH, enables the automatic analysis of data intended for the cloud. This migrates only the data that is suitable for the cloud and provides information on which license is appropriate for each user.
The health authority had to migrate its data to the cloud and had a data volume of more than 15 terabytes. The costs for this amount of data were very high. The correct licenses also had to be found for the 5,000 users.
databee was tasked with analyzing the potential savings from a Microsoft Office 365 migration. 15 TB of data were processed, and Databee delivered the following results:
- Only 4 TB were suitable for the cloud.
- 15% of the data was duplicated.
- 600 users identified were no longer active and therefore did not require a license.
- 70% of users could manage with the most cost-effective cloud license after their data was cleaned.
The goal was to determine the optimal conditions for cloud migration while minimizing costs without impacting the work of individual employees.
databee provides all the necessary information in a dashboard, requiring no effort from employees.
Overall, 75% of the license costs were saved. The analysis was completed within one week of accessing the data.

"databee - AI for Cloud Migration" was originally developed for the public sector, but can also be used in the private sector to prepare large volumes of data for cloud migration. databee is GDPR-compliant and continuously being developed. We are constantly working on machine learning and data volume to further increase its capacity.
databee can be used wherever large amounts of data are processed and analyzed. For example, for data evaluation, data classification, data cleansing, data deduplication, or to comply with GDPR retention periods. databee was developed in-house at Schindler and can also be customized to meet specific customer needs.
