Transmission Mechanism


Future Anthem’s highly secure and highly scalable data platform is hosted in Microsoft Azure. For initial transmission, data can be uploaded directly to Future Anthem’s secure data landing zone in Microsoft Azure, with is write-only and private to you.Uploads are done via API (see our documentation here), Azure Storage Explorer, AZCOPY command line package or SFTP.

  • Typically we can receive data in whatever format it comes from your system (JSON, CSV, etc.) 
  • We can deal with most compression types. 

 

Your data is safe with us


Our data management platform is developed and hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud, where we store the data you provide to us. Anthemetrics processes no sensitive customer data – only transactions and player IDs. 

No data will be hosted or processed on anyone's premises, but rather in Microsoft's European Azure servers, utilizing all of Azure's security capabilities. All data analysis and building of algorithms are carried out by Future Anthem personnel within the same Azure environment. Our data platform segregates client data, which means your data is never combined with any other client data 

 

A grade security

While we build our own AI models for your needs, we employ Microsoft’s own AI to detect and block risky behaviour. We enforce a Multi-factor authentication policy to keep all your data safe and secure. Future Anthems technology stack utilizes the Microsoft Azure platform not only for its ability to easily scale and its ultra-high dependency but also for its dedication to security. Anthem currently achieves an A grade in security with improvements constantly ongoing.

 

Simple Integration Steps


Step One 

Review & Scheduling 

  • Client to review this (data request) document and respond with any questions or clarifications needed 

  • Scheduling of regular meetings with data teams — scheduling the first meeting as quickly as possible 



Step Two 

Integration Meeting 

  • Discussion topics 

  • Client data infrastructure and schema 

  • Realtime vs daily batch (depending on client abilities, products purchased) 

  • Security of data 

  • Sample and historic data transfer mechanism 


Step Three 

Data Sampling

  • The client shares a data sample (typically one day) 

  • Anthem reviews and comes back with any questions 


Step Four 

Data Transfer 

  • Once data is agreed, the client transfers a recent historic export (6 months preferable, 3 months minimum) 

  • Anthem reviews data and compile a final set of questions 

  • Daily/real-time connection is created and tested 

     

Step Five 

Live Release 

  • Creation of Anthem products 

  • Models trained on client data and prototypes created 

  • Product released
