One version of the truth, before you ask AI to use it.
AI is only as dependable as the data underneath it. In most large organisations that data lives in many systems that disagree with each other. We find out where it lives, agree what is true, and build the pipelines that keep it that way.
Sound familiar?
- The same product, part or customer is described differently in each system
- Reports that need days of spreadsheet work before anyone trusts them
- An AI project stalled because nobody could say which data was right
- Rules on where data may be stored and processed, such as GDPR
- A data strategy that the business and IT both sign up to
- Pipelines from source systems to the services that need the data
- Data quality rules that run on their own
- A foundation ready for analytics and AI
Four steps, one team.
- 01
Find the data
With IT and the business, map which systems hold what, and where they disagree.
- 02
Agree what is true
A data strategy: shared definitions, ownership, quality rules and where data may live.
- 03
Build the pipeline
Clean, reconcile and enrich the data on its way from source systems to the tools people use.
- 04
Keep it right
Automatic checks that catch problems as data changes, so quality does not drift back.
An AI system built on data that disagrees with itself will be confidently wrong. Fixing the data is less visible than building the model, and usually worth more.
