Data Strategy

The ability to become a data driven organisation is shaped by aligning your data strategy to the business strategic goals and objectives. A well written data strategy enables investment and capability decisions that will support better access to information and insights, consolidate data and lay the foundation for meeting key performance metrics.
Every strategy engagement is tailored to the customer’s unique business environment and specific business problems.

The outcomes of our strategies may include the following elements:

Data Architecture

Most organisations are on the journey to a multi-cloud environment. An architectural review is often required to determine specific use cases that can be supported by the existing data platform eco-system, and where necessary, the introduction and integration of new data services and solutions. There are often a multitude of architectural decisions to be made – InfoCentric can help you make the right decisions for the right situation.

A typical review will take into consideration the guiding principles, capability architecture, conceptual architecture and high level technical architecture to support your data and analytics solution requirements.

Data Analysis

A critical aspect of any data and analytics initiative requires experienced data analysts to work closely with lines of business and data engineers to use various techniques to define and elicit data requirements and extract meaningful insights from data sets.  This critical service requires knowledgeable and experienced data practitioners who can interpret, design and build data models, analyse and profile data to support transformation and integration efforts downstream.

A typical data analyst engagement focuses on reviewing the analysing source systems, exploratory data analysis, data modelling and design, drawing conclusions and communicating the findings to key stakeholders.  The tasks and activities for each engagement can range significantly based on the quality, type and complexity of data, and the level of detail required.

Business Case Development

We understand that the investment in building an organisational data and analytics capability should be a self-funding exercise.  We have extensive experience in business case development and can also assist beyond this strategy phase in framing a business case that articulates benefits in practical terms with required quantitative benefits, assumptions and financial analysis.
