What's it like working with us?
This year we introduced ACT, how we establish Accuracy, enable Connection, and sustain Trust in your data. This approach is founded on our 10+ years of experience delivering Data and AI programs, but it is more than just a philosophy; it is our blueprint for your success.
This month, we want to share exactly what ACT looks like in practice for the business stakeholders we partner with, starting with the first step of our solution approach, the Design.
If you’ve ever sat in a high-stakes meeting second-guessing a number on a slide, completely lost trust in a critical report, or found yourself encountering multiple different versions of the exact same KPI, this is the phase that maps out the solution to that problem.
Your day-to-day experience throughout the Design phase is highly collaborative, strictly focused on business value, and designed to be efficient with your time. Here is what it feels like to be in the driver’s seat:
Targeted Discovery: Before we even sit down together, we send out questionnaires tailored to your organisation. We capture your specific business problems, technical environment, in-house skillsets, and as-is reporting processes. This ensures we do the heavy lifting behind the scenes and maximise the value of our time together.
Deep-Dive Workshops: Armed with your questionnaire insights, we run highly tailored workshops that focus strictly on your identified challenges. We map out your baseline cloud adoption strategy and identify Microsoft-recommended best practices to modernise your data environment.
Quantifiable Value & Prioritisation: We evaluate your specific reporting and automation use cases based on a strict Value vs. Effort matrix, which directly feeds your delivery roadmap. We also quantify the impact of our solution in real terms, such as hours saved and costs reduced, tying delivery directly back to your core business value.
Iterative, Certified Design: Because we hold the Microsoft Analytics on Azure specialisation, our solution designs represent the gold standard in best-practice deployments. We work iteratively with you to ensure the technical design and delivery roadmap are co-built, resulting in a tailored platform that meets your exact needs.
Zero-Blocker Transitions: We don't just plan; we act. During the design phase, we spin up a best-practice Microsoft Fabric trial. This means that as soon as we transition to delivery, there are no technical blockers, and we can immediately begin developing your data pipelines.
By the end of the Design phase, you aren't left with vague promises. You walk away with a co-built blueprint and a clear, quantified roadmap that ensures you never have to second-guess a number or debate a conflicting KPI again. And because we spin up your Microsoft Fabric environment during Design itself, there's no technical downtime between planning and doing - it seamlessly sets the stage for our delivery teams to step in immediately, transforming your strategy into an environment you can fully trust.
