Engineering Foundations · Data

One place your numbers come from. Designed to pay for itself.

One trusted source for your numbers, the foundation everything else depends on. We start with your three or four costliest problems, so the savings often offset the programme.

The problem

Reports assembled by hand, and figures nobody can trace.

Systems that don’t talk, reports assembled by hand, figures nobody can trace: your board takes assurance on trust. Rent your software, and your information sits in the supplier’s system on their terms.

What you get

What you get.

  1. 01

    One place all your data lands, fed automatically, every number traceable.

  2. 02

    One agreed record for the people you serve and the assets you hold.

  3. 03

    Reports on that single source; regulator evidence as a by-product.

  4. 04

    Open standards, usable whatever you run alongside it. Your data back from your suppliers.

  5. 05

    An ongoing service afterwards, if you want it.

The cost-neutral design

Why it can be cost neutral.

Some data problems cost money every month: reports that take days, licences nobody dares cancel, decisions delayed for want of a number.

We fix three or four first; the savings often offset the programme.

Why this comes first

You cannot prove compliance with numbers you cannot trace, or build good AI on poor data.

Out of order, it gets redone.

Case study

Twelve weeks to one trusted source of data. Now an ongoing managed service.

Problem

Data across several suppliers’ systems, reporting by hand.

Solution

One landing place for all data, fed automatically: clear ownership, every number traceable, one record per property and resident.

Action

Twelve weeks, three practical uses the client chose, secure connections into their systems; their own IT and data teams took ownership, fully documented.

Result

Live and signed off by the client’s sponsor and programme office against their own five-stage checklist, every criterion met. Now a managed data service.

It repeats

We also run one for the Charity Commission, regulator of charities in England and Wales.

Sorted data makes Activate AI worth doing. See Activate AI

Available as an accelerator

One trusted source of data, or the reporting rebuild.

The data foundation, or the reporting rebuild alone.
