Holistic approach to data · Since 2015

We make data work.

Your focus is your work.
Ours is the data behind it.

The Work

Everything data. End-to-end.

Strategy at the start, platform and foundation underneath, apps and dashboards on top.

OverarchingThreads through every engagement

Strategy & Advisory

Always embedded in the work itself, and sometimes an engagement on its own. We ask hard questions, help define meaningful goals, draw the architecture and develop a practical roadmap. With us your vision is informed by decades of practical experience and success.

ActivationWhat the business uses

BI, Reporting & Dashboards

Where the right data meets the right people. Executive dashboards, operational reports and self-service analytics. We model the data so that the information is intuitive and meaningful. The goal is never A Dashboard, the goal is a better informed business.

Analytics & ML

Predictive models, segmentation and statistical analysis; we use advanced data techniques to help you build smarter systems that forecast outcomes, automate decisions and streamline operations.

Custom Data Apps

When a dashboard isn't enough. Internal tools, customer-facing data products, full-stack apps, AI-enabled interfaces and workflows when you need them.

BuildThe engineering foundation

Data Pipelines & Orchestration

The plumbing that moves data. Reliable, observable, recoverable. If it moves data we have done it: batch, streaming, CDC, orchestration. Legacy migrations or greenfield builds.

Databases & Platforms

The data backbone - selected and designed for specific use cases. We choose the right tool for the job relying on our decades of experience. Lakehouse, warehouse, or plain RDBMS. From scratch warehouse builds, data model and schema design, migrations off legacy are all in our wheelhouse.

Data Quality & Governance

The unglamorous work that ensures the outputs of these systems are meaningful. Quality tests, lineage, master data, governance, contracts, documentation and catalogs.

The Way

Ideate. Pressure Test. Build. Operate.

We build quickly using phases, not big bangs. Each stage has a clear purpose, moves the work forward and produces a key output needed as input for the next stage as well as standalone valuable artifacts.
End-to-end or just a few pieces. Your choice.

The Map

Data capabilities, mapped.

The data landscape is broad and moves fast. So we mapped it — every capability we engage with, organised the way we actually think about it. We use it to scope work, plan projects, and figure out what's missing.
