our core competencies.
We bring expertise across the essential, interconnected disciplines of data and analytics:
Data Architecture & Engineering
Designing and building robust, scalable data platforms.
Data Management & Governance
Ensuring quality, compliance, and trusted information.
Data Analytics & Process Mining
Turning data into insights that drive smarter decisions and optimized processes.
advisory.
Businesses often struggle to realize the value of data and analytics initiatives, typically due to poorly understood business processes or lack of business engagement and support.
We provide advisory services that bridge the gap between business strategy and IT execution, driving business value, positioning data as a strategic asset, and leveraging available data to achieve business goals. Our approach focuses on marrying the analytical potential of data sources with the business’s analytical expectations. In some cases, expectations are adjusted to a more realistic level; in others, the data reveal additional opportunities. Throughout every advisory engagement, we keep a keen eye on the business case to deliver maximum value.
Our services include:
Data Strategy
We align your data initiatives with your overall business strategy to ensure true business alignment, assess your current setup to establish a clear baseline, define a future state that reduces risk and enhances competitive advantage, and provide a practical roadmap to help you reach your goals, priorities, and targets.
Data & Analytics Governance
We focus on organizational setup, policies, standards, and architecture - often more critical than technology selection - by implementing data governance programs and providing tools that enable teams to discover, engineer, provision, and consume “business-ready” data for analytical use cases.
Technology Assessments
We assess your current data and analytics landscape through maturity and readiness evaluations, identify gaps, guide improvements, and support future technology acquisitions.
Data Architecture
We define the key data capabilities your architecture requires, design your data architecture and data flows to support analytical processing, and explore how emerging architectures - open table formats, data catalogs, automation and AI - are transforming data foundations for the data-driven enterprise.
Analytics and Process Mining
We transform data into intuitive dashboards and actionable insights that optimize business processes and elevate overall performance. We provide everything you need to thrive in (process) analytics and business intelligence - including data visualization, self-service and advanced analytics, data storytelling, modernization initiatives, adoption of generative AI, embedded analytics, and process mining.
Solution Ownership
We guide the journey from vision to delivery by translating business needs into actionable steps, leading cross-functional teams with agile practices, and ensuring solutions deliver real customer value on time and on budget.
What is a data product and what is the best architecture to build data products?
Listen to thought leader Mike Ferguson (Founder & CEO Intelligent Business Strategies & Chairman Big Data LDN) diving into the topic of data products as a potential way to accelerate the creation of data for use in multiple analytical workloads. Mike also shares his insights on the most effective architecture for implementing data products.
implementations.
Once a data and analytics program is established, the next step is implementing solutions. This demands strong architectural and technical expertise across multiple disciplines and technologies to ensure success. We provide end-to-end implementation services - from initial analysis and design through development and deployment.
Over years of delivering data and analytics projects, our consultants have built deep knowledge across the full implementation lifecycle. Their expertise spans all major platforms and leading technology vendors, including AWS, Celonis, dbt, Informatica, Microsoft, SAP, Snowflake, and WhereScape.
Our services include:
Data Platform Solutions
We design modern data platforms (inc. Data Lakes, Data Lakehouse, Data Warehouse) that leverage data catalogs, data fabric, and data observability to build resilient DataOps pipelines. These pipelines enable a data mesh of reusable data products published in a data marketplace, accelerating time to value by enabling insights and AI capabilities more rapidly.
Data Warehouse Modernization
We modernize data warehouses to accelerate development, enhance agility, and reduce costs - while unlocking new data sources, enabling self-service data preparation, supporting advanced analytics, and seamlessly integrating with other analytical platforms.
Governance, Discovery and Data Catalogs
We enable teams to systematically classify data, apply governance policies, ensure compliance around sensitive information, and empower them to discover, engineer, and provision the right datasets for analytical and operational pipelines.
Enterprise Analytics Solutions
We design and deliver modern analytics solutions that help uncover, interpret, and share meaningful patterns in your data. Partnering closely with stakeholders, we handle everything from requirements gathering and data profiling to data modeling and intuitive dashboard development.
Solution Ownership
We guide the discovery and implementation of data and analytics solutions, collaborating with clients to understand business requirements, manage and maintain the product backlog, and successfully lead agile projects from inception to delivery.
Data Warehouse Automation
We design and build metadata-driven data solutions that make it faster and easier to build, change, and scale modern cloud or on-premises data warehouses and data marts. With Data Warehouse Automation (DWA), we quickly adopt modern data modeling techniques, auto-generate schemas and integration jobs, and streamline migrations to the cloud.
Data Engineering Solutions
We design and build resilient data pipelines that automate ingestion, transformation, and delivery - ensuring clean, consistent, and repeatable workflows ready for analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and business use.
Cloud Data Warehouse Migrations
We develop migration strategies, guide whether to move your data warehouse “as is” or implement changes during migration, and move data warehouse schemas, data, ETL jobs, and security to the cloud while minimizing the impact on business users.
Data Visualization and Enterprise Reporting
We create Business Intelligence solutions that streamline reporting and transform complex data into clear, compelling visualizations. By building intuitive, interactive dashboards and reports, we help business users identify what's working well and what isn't.
Process Mining
We shine a light on how businesses really run, uncovering inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and opportunities to streamline, optimize, and automate. Acting as an X-ray of your business processes, Process Mining provides unparalleled visibility into how processes truly operate.
