What we do...

We do data!

We are passionate about data, and we would love the opportunity to help you better understand and utilize yours.

Both short term, and longer term assignments - as required

  • Every organization is different.
  • They each have their own challenges, and requirements.
  • If you need our help for a few days, or a few months, we can work with you.

Data Architecture

  • Business based data maps
    • A draft data map can be built in about a day

    • Resulting map can be used for data scoping, project planning, project tracking, and as a starting point for a data inventory.
    • Business (rather than technical) view of data.
    • Technical view can later be superimposed to allow for gap analysis.
  • Custom architecture
    • As the name suggests, an architecture customized to your organization
    • Duration will vary with complexity, requirements, and scope

Independent Evaluations
