Our services
We help companies plan, build, and run business intelligence and data analytics solutions – covering everything from strategy and architecture to reporting and ongoing support. Our focus is on making data useful, reliable, and ready to support better decisions every day. Whether you’re starting from scratch or improving what you already have, we build solutions that are practical, maintainable, and shaped around how your business actually works.
Data strategy & governance
Data strategy
A strong data foundation starts with a clear plan. You could do it on your own, but we can help you get there faster. We help define a vision for how data should be collected, stored, managed, and used across your organization – making sure it supports your goals and grows with your business.
Key activities:
- Architectural vision and roadmap workshops
- Data governance structure
- Business alignment
- Future-readiness planning
- Data strategy consultations
Data audit
Scattered data across systems and processes is more common than it should be. We help review and map your data landscape, identify gaps, improve security, and get your data into shape. This helps you make informed decisions and prepares your data for future projects, reporting, and analytics. From as-is to to-be with alternatives and recommendations matching your business needs.
Key activities:
- Data sources and system mapping
- Gap and risk analysis
- Data quality improvement plan
- Governance and ownership recommendations
Master data management & data integration
We help bring your data together so everything lines up. That means connecting systems, cleaning up duplicates, and making sure your core data – like customers, products, or transactions – is clear and consistent. When everything matches up, it’s easier to connect insights across systems, build reports that reflect the full picture, and make smarter decisions with reliable analytics.
Key activities:
- Integration of different systems and cross-source reporting (e.g., CRM + ERP)
- Building clean and consistent master data
- Enabling segmentation and drill-down in dashboards
- Preparing data for reporting and analytics
