Strategic Consulting

Many companies have vast amounts of data and may have ideas on how they can use that data to enhance the business. Often missing, though, is the expertise to formulate data strategies, set a governance framework that enables and regulates data utilization, collection, pipelines, storage systems, cleansing and visual presentation of the data. Starting with a thorough business or use case analysis, Starschema consultants develop a deep understanding of the data needs of the business and technical underpinnings and create strategic plans and solutions that address real opportunities and challenges. When appropriate, we execute those plans for our clients and maintain systems and technologies through our robust DataOps infrastructure.

Data Strategy

Data strategy is integral to every organization’s operational plan and when done and executed well, it becomes a competitive advantage. Proper data strategy ensures the organization is extracting full value out of data to support its business objectives. We work with some of the most innovative and demanding clients who need to push the boundaries of data — they look to us for solutions. As a result, we must stay on top of the latest technologies, tools, techniques, systems, processes, workflows and possibilities. The knowledge and experience we gain though this work enables us to develop the right strategy for any organization — regardless of complexity or size. As implementation partners, we ensure that the data strategy executed properly and objectives realized within the organization.

Data Governance

An effective data governance framework is the foundation of a successful data-driven organization. It sets the groundwork necessary to scale the use of data across the organization and plays a crucial role in system performance, security, storage, documentation and interpretation of the data — all leading to better more timely decisions. Our subject matter experts, consultants, engineers and developers are dedicated professionals whose sole mission is to help your organization build and benefit from a solid data governance framework.

Data Literacy

The ability to read, understand, create and communicate data as information is a challenge for many people and in turn the business. The ability to analyze data and present it as information in an easy to understand way is an essential skill for people in roles across the organization. Transforming into a truly data-driven organization requires not only the ability to communicate with data, but to incorporate the information contained in data in the decision-making process at every level of the organization. We work closely with our clients and their people to put the right tools in place, make sure the data is flowing, and train employees so everyone understands how to get the most value from data. This results in a foundation of data-literacy across the organization.
