Data Foundations
Our numbers live in ten spreadsheets, nobody agrees which report is right, and the data project we started has stalled.
What we do
We design and build the data layer a business runs on: a platform that collects data from your systems, cleans it, and makes it trustworthy. That covers cloud and data migration, pipelines, data models, and reporting and BI that people actually open.
We also rescue stalled data projects. If a platform was started and never finished, we assess what is salvageable, agree a plan, and get it delivered.
How an engagement works
- Discovery. We map your sources, the decisions the data should support, and where trust breaks down today.
- First slice. We build one end-to-end flow, from source to report, so you can judge the approach on real data.
- Build out. We extend it source by source, with data quality checks and documentation as we go.
- Handover. Your team gets the runbooks, the walkthroughs and the access it needs. We stay on call if you want us to.
Relevant experience
We bring experience across banking and major UK infrastructure programmes, and consulting at a Big 4 firm. We apply the same discipline to SME budgets: clear scope, simple architecture, no surprises.
Common questions
How much does a data platform project cost?
It depends on sources, volumes and reporting needs, so we scope it with you first. You see a cost before any build begins.
How long does it take to get something working?
We deliver in thin slices so you see working output early and can change direction cheaply. We give you a timeline once we understand your data.
Do you work with our existing team and tools?
Yes. We work alongside your staff and fit the tools you already use where they make sense. We aim to leave your team able to run and extend what we build, not dependent on us.
Do we need a big cloud platform for this?
Often not. Many SMEs are well served by a simple warehouse and a handful of reliable pipelines. We recommend the smallest setup that meets your needs and can grow later.
