Lets Talk

Any new IT project will bring about some Business Change, and your new Modern Analytics platform is no different. However, the main challenge with modern data platforms is that they affect the whole organisation, making many businesses uneasy. To get the full benefits of your platform, you must align your organisation to a common language of data and insights, a profound and disruptive process for all stakeholders.

For example, a client had a situation where the term “Department” was used in different places. The issue was not the term itself; the issue was that each place had different definitions and values for the term. How would they determine which “Department” was the right one and which one would go into the Data Dictionary? And what would they do with the other one?

 

Our example is irrelevant to this article, but the point is that every Data Journey will uncover similar problems that need to be solved. This can be hard internally, as groups in a fragmented environment (legacy) were not working together, even if they were not in conflict. The result of this is that these minor differences can take months to “resolve” if possible, and until then, the whole project is stalled. This is where a Consultancy can assist you. Consultancies have a broad range of knowledge and experience that your internal teams may not have. The other option of using Contract resources also has a wide range of expertise. Geordie Consulting, as a small boutique consultancy, can offer you resources like contractors if that is what you prefer. Still, they will always have the support of our entire team, so when challenges arise, we can figure out, test, and fix them quickly and effectively, saving you time and money.

In a nutshell, a Modern Data Platform is a game-changer for your business. It’s not just about providing accurate, consistent, and useful insights across the organisation. It is about transforming how you handle, govern, and use your data. This transformation can be complex, especially if you rely on internal resources that may not have the necessary skills or experience. That’s where Geordie Consulting comes in.
