App Designers (General)
You need to...
... develop modern applications with careful consideration of the data management aspect - not doing this is professional suicide. Designs that treat data as a first class citizen has better UX and provide developers with valuable insights into the use of their apps.
How can we help?
We bring data design to your sprints without derailing your agile workstreams or stealing attention away from your developers.
We confirm the user needs and the wider context. We bring the missing link between user requirements and data dependencies.
Our approach creates a deeper awareness into the user experience and needs. We refine functional requirements and make sure designs cater for potential future data/reporting/dashboarding requirements.
App Designers (Analytics)
You need to...
... give users valuable reports, dashboards or other insights to enhance their experience as part of the app.
... learn as much as possible from how your users experience and interact with your products, getting insights from the aggregation of this data.
How can we help?
Data Design lies at the heart of meeting these needs, and must be incorporated into your products from the start.
We collect and define BI/Analytics requirements, provide input into product features and candidate options, and design BI and Analytics solutions components for your applications.
SME/App Designers (PRIVACY)
You need to...
... comply with local and international privacy laws.
... legally and ethically get more value from your data, especially if you have aggregated and anonymised it (see BI and Report solutions).
How can we help?
We advise on a privacy compliant data architecture.
We can fulfil a data architect role in your business or development teams.
