Delivering Modern Data Platforms

Building Data Functions: Teams, Strategy & Architecture

Data Functions

Modern Cloud Solutions

Build and evolve a workable data infrastructure, capable of adapting to changing needs: Bringing new data sources online and ingesting data with ease.

Business Value

I build Data Teams and Business Processes to deliver transformative value. Change is constant, so strategy must evolve with the business, and Modern Data Applications must be built on solid foundations. Data Teams must interact well with other IT Teams and the business, for example the infrastructure team maintaining the cloud(s) on which the Data Estate is to be hosted.

Data Estate Design

Data utility enabled across the organisation with the use of academic Modern Data Architecture Design Patterns to ensure the Base Data Layer is properly prepared.

Modern Data Applications

With a firm foundation at the infrastructure and data estate level, data can be properly utilised by Data Scientists and Report Builders, delivering business transforming experiences through the use of innovative AI/ML as well as high quality traditional Data Warehousing and Reporting Solutions.

Data Teams + Strategy
Training

Without a carefully resourced and properly trained Data Team in each and every function required for the design pattern chosen, an organisation has no chance of taking control of its Data Estate. People, Process and Training should be a first class citizen in any Data Strategy.

Only with the successful implementation of a holistic approach can an organisation hope to deliver Business Value and truly turn data into a first class citizen for the organisation; deriving competitive advantage from being successful.
