Data Architecture and Platform Design

The pace of technological change seems only to increase, and data platforms are no exception. “Do I want a warehouse, a lake, a lakehouse? A vault, or a mesh? Do I need streaming?” – a few of the questions that may arise. How close to the “bleeding edge” of technology do you need or want to be? Snowflake or Databricks? GCP, Azure or AWS?

Through our experience and partnerships with major cloud providers, we can help navigate this landscape, and will always consider your needs, your people, your skills base, your ability to absorb change, and the scale of your ambition. Then, there’s all those non-functional aspects: security, resilience, privacy, and operation within your current environment that are also important.

Intelligent Data & AI Infrastructure

We specialise in building scalable and efficient data and ML infrastructure optimised for pipeline reliability, with automated quality assurance by default – a critical foundation for enabling seamless data management, advanced analytics, and machine learning operations (MLOps) at enterprise scale.

Actionable Intelligence, Reporting and Insight

We can help you transform raw data into actionable intelligence by leveraging interactive dashboards, automated reporting, and AI-powered analytics to foster a data-driven decision-making culture across your enterprise. By delivering real-time visibility into core metrics, trends, and KPIs, we empower stakeholders to identify opportunities, mitigate risks, and make informed decisions with confidence. Our solutions ensure that insights are accessible, intuitive, and tailored to drive strategic impact at every level of your organisation.

Delivery Enablement

Iterative by nature, we promote a culture of continuous improvement and innovation, always aligning delivery roadmaps with business goals. We are steadfast in maintaining transparent communications through change management and embed ongoing alignment into project cadence. By integrating modern product management practices with enterprise-scale Data & AI strategies, we enable organisations to unlock the full potential of their data, enhance decision-making, and drive AI-powered innovation.

Data
Migrations

Preparing your data

Before the data can be migrated, it typically needs to be profiled, cleansed and put into the right format.

Migration Engineering

We enable seamless transitions of your data to modern, scalable environments. Whether migrating from on-premises to the cloud, transitioning between cloud providers, or upgrading legacy systems, we ensure a smooth, secure, and optimised migration process with minimal downtime.

We assess existing architectures, develop a tailored migration strategy, and execute end-to-end migration with automated workflows and validation processes. Our approach includes data integrity checks, performance optimisation, and risk mitigation to ensure continuity and reliability. For MLOps, we migrate model training, deployment pipelines, and monitoring systems while optimizing infrastructure for cost efficiency and scalability.

Data Reconciliation Frameworks

A crucial step to migrating any data is to define what the migration success looks like!

Our frameworks support schema validation, duplicate detection, and cross-system data matching, ensuring end-to-end data reliability.

With automated reporting, alerts, and self-healing mechanisms, our reconciliation solutions enhance operational efficiency, reduce data-related risks, and ensure compliance with industry regulations. Whether reconciling financial transactions, machine learning datasets, or enterprise data lakes, we provide a scalable and robust approach to optimise for 100% accuracy.
