Data Management and Analytics

Helping clients solve complex data problems, gain insights, increase efficiencies and minimise risk

Businesses today are awash with data; data that should be treated as an asset. If analysed correctly, businesses can gain valuable insights that can help increase revenue, reduce costs and manage risk more effectively. The data journey organisations undertake is not always free from obstacles, as they strive to unlock the value of their data. The optimal architecture to store data, the good governance and management of that data and clearly defined data models, processes and ownership are not always there. The key to unlocking the value of your organisation’s data is a good data strategy.

Our Value

Many businesses struggle to gain insights from data due to two main issues: they do not have the technical expertise to analyse and model the data; and they do not have ease-of-access to the data that would be required for analysis. Taking a holistic approach to data may seem time-consuming and difficult, but it is a necessary step to facilitate good data analysis. Adequate data management is the foundation on which a suite of analytics tools can be built. A considerable portion of any analytics project will involve manipulation of data. By implementing a long-term data strategy, this time-consuming process can be streamlined.

Analytics techniques have advanced considerably and terms such as machine learning are ubiquitous across the industry. However, building advanced analytics tools in-house — whether descriptive or prescriptive in nature — requires considerable investment by the business in order to implement effectively.
