This slide explains the need for a focused web data extraction team -- primarily important when the business requirement is for recurring and large-scale web data.

2. It consistently helps businesses
grow -- even more, if the business
is tech-enabled or technology
provider.

3. In such an environment,
many businesses are
dependent on alternate data
to augment internal data and
web scraping is an important
facet in the alt-data
ecosystem as it delivers web
data and aids in business
decisions.

4. An enterprise looking for high
quality data feed at scale will need a
dedicated team for web scraping.

5. Read on to find why that might not be the right approach.

7. Web technologies change quite frequently,
especially development of new frameworks,
design trends. New protocols and security
measures also keep changing. All these add
up to structural changes in web pages which
entails constant monitoring and
maintenance of crawlers.

9. AJAX-based sites, infinite scrolling and usage
of JavaScript-based server-side frameworks
are some of the examples of complexity and
dynamic nature of web pages.

10. This requires a dedicated team of engineers
who already have the experience and
domain knowledge (from proxy to server
configuration) of handling various sites.

12. Since data requirement changes
continuously (business might start with
ecommerce feeds and later on add social
feeds as well), a dedicated support team
must be present to make necessary
changes swiftly.

13. Hence, if a business needs continuous and large-scale
web data, it is recommended that the data acquisition
project should be outsourced to a managed service
provider like PromptCloud that will take care of end-to-
end data delivery and maintain the feed while ensuring
quality.
