Research and Science at ITRS

We build cutting-edge solutions based on our Data Science & Research team

Our research pillars

Innovation

Our Data Scientists work ahead of the product team in their "factory of ideas". The team undergoes extensive research into the problems we want to solve and produce innovative solutions, conceptual models and data visualisations.

Prototyping & Validation

The team build prototypes and analytic use cases of candidate features and validate them with real data from selected use-cases. The proposals that prove to be of value will then have a solid basis when the time for feature productisation comes.

Algorithms & Data Modelling

A core part the team's work is to create and validate algorithms and data models that solve the core problems faced by ITRS customers, e.g, cost optimisation, event noise reduction, demand and capacity predictive models.

Cloud cost optimisation

We work to find the smartest and most efficient optimisation algorithms, data models and visualisations that make the most of your cloud infrastructure.

Right-sizing for cost optimisation

Based on historical usage and statistical analysis we apply our right-sizing optimisation algorithms through a complete cloud estate. The outcome is a high-level but insightful overview with recommendations and associated savings. The user can understand and literally see the patterns that should drive their strategy for rightsizing their cloud instances and understand where potential savings come from.

Instance type choice

From a high-level savings overview we can go down to the finest granular level to analytically and visually justify each one of the right-sizing recommendations. This way the client can understand and trust our recommendations. The user can also inject specific domain knowledge in the form of rules and restrictions so that the recommendations can be fully customised at the finest level of granularity.

Optimisation of AWS Savings Plans

Based on your historical service usage and expenditure profile, we can efficiently calculate and recommend optimal expense commitments for AWS savings plans.

AWS Reserved Instances optimisation

Based on your historical service usage and expenditure profile, we can efficiently calculate and recommend the optimal number of reserved instances per instance grouping. With our visual approach you can easily understand from where and when your potentials savings will come.

Event noise reduction

By analysing your historical and recent time-series data we can make your alert thresholds adapt intelligently over time, so that both false positives and false negatives are minimised.

It's inspiring, extremely motivating and rewarding to be able to help build a product that helps our clients solve their core problems. Both with creativity and pragmatism, we strive to innovate well ahead of our competitors, focusing on solving the problems that really make the difference to customers. A very important and fascinating part of our job is to bring in the visual experience that helps our customers see, understand and trust us; and our underlying, potentially complex, data models and algorithms.

Álvaro Santamaría - Data Scientist

The Data Science Team at ITRS Group

Our Data Science Team works as a collective mind, deeply motivated in problem-solving through a fine balanced blend of creativity, pragmatism and rigorous data science skills. Our team is capable of: fast prototyping proofs-of-concept, validating ideas through real use-case data analysis, thinking up data models, inventing and implementing new algorithms and bringing innovative data visualisations to the product. At the same time, they are the storytellers that help our wider team and our customers to intuitively understand their key problems and what makes our solutions so trustworthy.
