Data Architecture & Information Management

 

We have over 20 years experience developing, delivering and leading data architecture assessments, supporting technical system construction and  developing information output solutions. 

We take a practical approach to data architecture and information:

  • Determining what information is critical for business needs such as compliance, decision making, evaluation and business planning and working back to the data you need to collect in order to deliver.

  • Making data collection logical and intuitive for those providing it.

  • Setting business rules to help ensure data is going to provide useful information when it’s extracted.

  • Ensuring data collected is translated into information that can be easily extracted by those who need it.

Our extensive experience includes:
