Analytics

Plan.

  • We help you to set the right direction for your data activities, ensuring that all systems, modelling, KPIs, data processes and commercial processes are joined up.

    Far too often we see disjointed data delivery as a result of the business and IT/Technical functions not communicating effectively.

    Our services include:

    • Business needs analysis

    • Business value analysis

    • Cloud

    • Data architecture

    • System design

    • Integration/migration plan

    • Data value/monetisation

    • Delivery project management

    • Risk management

  • Bringing the technical and business teams together around a clear governance plan.

    Covering policies, processes, standards, data controls/stewardship, security (inc ISO27001) and responsibilities across the organisation.

    We often support Chief Data/technology Officers in bringing people together across the organisation to ensure the changes are properly managed.

Model.

  • Our team of Data Engineers, Scientists and Analysts help to unmask data issues and run full scale structuring across the data model.

    No data setup is too old or too complex. Our data categorisation, modelling and re-structuring activities (including metadata) will have your data behaving properly in no time.

  • Poorly prepared or over-customised data sets can often create noise and make modelling, predictability and automation challening.

    We go deep across your datasets, implementing rigourous manual and system led cleaning techniques to fix errors, standardise and write rule scripts (where needed) to keep things running smoothly.

  • Many companies have gone through migrations, be it to Cloud or other solutions.

    We have experience across Azure, AWS, Oracle, SAP (including S4Hana) and Google stacks.

Integrate.

  • Modernise your core technology stack in it’s entirety or take a component led approach to your systems architecture.

    We are tech agnostic and will support you to make the right, cost effective delivery decision and our technical teams can also support you to deliver it.

    Our services include:

    • System benchmarking

    • Performance scoring

    • Cost/Spend analysis

    • Architecture design

    • Integration mapping

    • Delivery planning (+ PMO)

    • Systems deployment

    • Testing and UAT

    • Deployment support

  • Data is great, but if it’s not stored and managed properly it turns from an asset to a costly liability.

    We regularly see businesses who are on pay per use storage or legacy contracts with no knowledge of whether they are getting value for money. This is where we step in.

    Our services include:

    • Storage efficiency review

    • Spend/cost review

    • On prem vs cloud analysis

    • Cloud readiness

    • Multi-cloud/hybrid cloud

    • Data migration planning

    • Storage optimisation

    • Disaster recovery protocols

    • DevOps

    • Scalability

  • There is no ‘one fits all’ data system. All businesses now need a robust integration strategy and capability. This is an area we are increasingly asked to support on from our partners.

    Our services in this area include:

    • Source system analysis

    • Data model(s) review

    • Data schema review

    • Data flow mapping

    • Data quality & gap assessment

    • Data integration planning

    • Data transit scheduling

    • Cleaning & transform logic

    • Business rules logic

    • ETL/ELT tooling

    • API creation/improvement

    • Scalability testing

    • Metadata management

    • Data integration processing

    • Policies & responsibilities

    • Compliance & testing

    • Performance optimisation

Perform.

  • From gathering and cleansing the data, building up the data model through to deploying the right dashboards, scorecards, league tables and visualizations to engage the teams, we live and breath performance management.

    We don’t just stop at data though. All of our team have worked in the automotive industry so we know what it takes to get traction with front line teams on the ground.

    By identifying the right KPIs and performance measures (SMART), then running workshops with the relevant teams to agree the metrics and the calculation logic, we can ensure the right data structure.

    We then work with front line teams to coach, train, educate and reward the right behaviours.

    Think of us as your ‘always on’ performance management arm.

  • The part most people see and what often causes the most frustration across businesses.

    We often hear ‘our data is messy’ or ‘I can’t find a consistent view of the truth to manage performance’.

    The key to our work is delivering quick business value and cost effective, sustainable reporting and data visualisation that then enables proper performance management and decision making.

    Our services include:

    • Current state review

    • Business requirements

    • Alignment of critical KPIs

    • Alignment of wider KPIs

    • Data clean up/organising

    • Dashboard design

    • Dashboard development

    • Ongoing maintenance

    We often go beyond dashboards and build robust models that allow business stakeholders to run their own simulations and scenarios.

  • Whether you are running on an ageing, legacy data setup or you have just brought in new solutions but don’t know how to get the most from them, we can support.

    We provide consulting teams to work on projects or alternatively we provide supplementary staffing to enhance your current team for the short, mid and long term.

    It all depends on your needs. Our main focus is to help you get the most from your data, bring it to life visually and get it working for everyone across your business.
