What is data strategy?

Using data to its maximum potential

A data strategy is a vision for how your organisation will generate, process, organise and share data. So you can maximise its value. A data strategy within the private capital markets will typically seek to:

Provide a framework

In order to govern your approach to data across the organisation.

Create value

Thereby unlocking the unique insights your data can provide.

Reduce time

That is required to analyse your data and produce reports.

Improve

The accuracy and integrity of your data.

In the beginning

Your existing procedures are all shaped by a variety of legacy factors. So, your evolving user demands and needs may be incompatible with these. Because with a lack of a collective approach to data sharing, data silos, disparate sources, and differing uses of data, the challenges can be endless. It can often look like this before we work with clients,

Our data strategy process

The starting point to control your data is an enterprise review. So you can enhance its value creation possibilities. We address these challenges in a structured manner. By using a five phase approach to data strategy projects. Thereby allowing clients to understand their current state and their target state.

Analysis

We carry out an organisation level review of your current systems and data strategy.

NO.2

Workshops

In order to provide insight into areas for improvement and future goals, we hold stakeholder workshops.

NO.3

Roadmap

We combine the analysis and workshop output into a data report and roadmap.

NO.4

Build

With projects identified work begins to execute the data strategy roadmap.

NO.5

Refinement

So your data strategy remains at the cutting edge of technology, servicing business needs.

The ideal target state

Whilst no two organisations are the same, we always strive for the ideal target state. So, following completion of a data strategy project, our clients are left with an approach to data that efficiently supports their required use cases. Because we open up data silos and, above all, provide users with access to the data they need. In order to generate value for the business. It looks like this.
