No, we can also work with your company to assess your data assets wherever they are (on-prem, cloud, etc) and create a strategic roadmap for your future desired state.
For example, if one of your goals is to move to the cloud, we can provide a detailed implementation plan depending on cost, complexity and business value.
We focus on mainly 5 components:
- Current Data Assests
- Current Processes
- Technology used
- People
- Future Desired Estate
The first 4 componenet components give us a clear idea of your current state, where you are in your data journey and how does your company work internally.
We then align what we have learned to your desired data state and list our recommendations in terms of priority, complexity and effort.
The assessment will give you a good idea of the quick wins for your organisation, as well as, a short, medium and long term roadmap to achieve your business goals.
The duration of this engagement depends on the complexity of your environment, the size of your company and the number of processes/teams to evaluate.
