A successful data solution starts with understanding your business needs. What value do you hope to get from the data? Where is this data and what does it look like? In this preparatory stage, let's work together to understand the business case and data landscape.
This is the very first step. What business problem are you trying to solve? What would the perfect solution look like? How comprehensive is the service you're looking for? These are questions to address during the free 30-minute consultation session.
What data is needed to solve the business problem? Where can this data be found and accessed? Is it in a database, an old Excel file, or a third-party API? What is its structure and quality? In this stage, we'll explore the landscape together and see if we have everything we need to proceed.
Once we know what data we are working with, we have to understand the structure. How do the data sources relate to each other? What transformations are needed to make the data usable? What naming conventions should we follow? This is the final round of questions before we can get down to it.
Working with data is notoriously unpredictable - but we can still make a plan. Based on all the gathered information, we will create a roadmap for the project together. We'll set clear milestones, deliverables, and timelines. This will help us stay on track and ensure that the project meets your expectations.
