Data and analytics services

Data Without Insight Is Just Noise

Most organisations are drowning in data but starving for insight. Spreadsheets multiply, reports conflict, and decision-makers wait days for answers that should take minutes.

Spreadsheet Chaos

Critical business decisions rely on spreadsheets emailed between teams. Version control is non-existent, formulas break, and nobody trusts the numbers.

Data Silos

Finance has their data, operations has theirs, sales has another set. Getting a unified view of the business requires manual effort every time.

Reports Nobody Trusts

Different reports show different numbers for the same metrics. When leadership asks "what's our revenue?", three people give three different answers.

Slow Time to Insight

Requests for analysis take days or weeks. By the time the report arrives, the decision has already been made—or the opportunity has passed.

Self-Service Gone Wrong

You gave people Power BI licenses, but now there are hundreds of reports with no governance. Data quality is questionable.

The Cost of Getting It Wrong

  • Decisions made on incorrect data
  • Hours wasted reconciling conflicting reports
  • Missed opportunities due to slow insights
  • Compliance risks from ungoverned access
  • Analytics investments that deliver no value
