Data Consulting | Assessment & Planning

Is Your Data Ready for What’s Next?

Your company’s data systems have brought you this far, but are they truly prepared for future demands? You might be experiencing performance bottlenecks or simply be unsure if your current setup can handle growth. While the latest tools, like AI, may seem tempting, implementing them without a sound data infrastructure will lead to complication and waste. It’s crucial to first identify existing trouble spots and plan for your future’s data demands.

Most organizations recognize the potential for greater value from their data systems but lack clarity on specific gaps and the steps required to address them. Our comprehensive data systems assessment offers more than just a list of issues; we provide a clear roadmap to elevate your systems to the necessary standard.

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”

Our data systems and capabilities assessments go deeper.

The technology landscape has undergone dramatic evolution since we began data consulting over three decades ago. Today, data originates from and flows to many more locations, with a multitude of new applications. To thrive with data, you must leverage it purposefully. This is where our data systems assessments excel. Backed by 30 years of experience in data analytics and business intelligence consulting, we deeply understand that your investments must deliver specific, measurable business results.

Therefore, our process begins by engaging with business leaders to gain a clear understanding of whether they feel their data adequately serves them. We then delve into their plans and how those plans rely even more heavily on data. With this clear picture of business needs, we visualize your ideal data environment.

Next, we audit your current data stack, developing a comprehensive understanding of how data flows through your company, how it’s utilized, and where it falls short. Only then can we conduct a gap analysis, comparing your current situation and needs to the ideal state and industry best practices. The result is a roadmap and a prioritized list of initiatives designed to bring your data capabilities to the required level.

Get clarity about the possibilities for your data systems.

Our data systems assessments provide three key deliverables that outline everything you need to align your data environment with your business goals:

Complete documentation of your business’s data needs.

We map out precisely what your organization requires from your data to achieve current and future goals. This allows us to directly connect your data capabilities to your business outcomes.

Gap analysis against the ideal data architecture and industry best practices.

We provide a realistic perspective on how your data systems measure up to contemporary data management standards. Any gaps are clearly explained.

Detailed plans and estimates to upgrade your systems.

Clients consistently tell us that merely knowing the shortcomings isn’t enough; a plan for closing those gaps is vital. That’s why our final deliverable includes a prioritized roadmap for intelligently building your ideal data architecture, encompassing technology options, timelines, and budgets.
