Data & Analytics
Build data foundations the business can trust: governed, well-modelled data on a modern platform, feeding reports people use and AI that gives reliable answers.
Is this for you?
You might need this if…
Different reports show different numbers for the same KPI, and meetings start with arguing over whose figure is right.
Analysts spend most of their time gathering and cleaning data in spreadsheets rather than analysing it.
Your AI ambitions keep stalling because the data is scattered, incomplete or hard to access.
Customers or regulations require you to trace materials and share product data across the supply chain.
What we deliver
What it covers
Data strategy and data governance
We define how data supports your goals, who owns which data and the rules for quality, access and privacy. Data becomes a managed asset with clear accountability, in line with GDPR.
Modern data platforms
We design and build data platforms on technologies such as Microsoft Fabric, Databricks or Snowflake, in the cloud or hybrid. You get one scalable foundation for reporting, analytics and AI, with costs kept under control.
Data engineering, integration and pipelines
We build reliable pipelines that bring data from ERP, CRM, IoT and other sources into the platform, tested and monitored. Data arrives on time and in a consistent shape.
Data quality and master data management
We measure and improve data quality and create a single, trusted version of customers, products and suppliers. Fewer errors reach reports, invoices and AI models.
Business intelligence and dashboards
We build Power BI reports and shared data models around the decisions people make, with common KPI definitions. Self-service is supported by guidance and governance, so it does not turn into report sprawl.
Advanced analytics and AI-ready data
We prepare data for machine learning and generative AI, including documented datasets, semantic models and secure access for AI applications. Analytics and AI projects start faster and produce more reliable results.
Product passport and traceability data
We design the data models and flows to collect and share product, material and origin data across your supply chain. This prepares you for EU requirements such as the Digital Product Passport and for customer traceability demands.
Our approach
How we work
01
Assess
We review sources, platforms, reports and data quality, and talk to the people who rely on the data.
02
Design
Target architecture, governance model and data products, prioritised by business value.
03
Build
Platform, pipelines and reports delivered in increments, one business area at a time.
04
Adopt
Training, data ownership and support, so people use the data and keep it accurate.
Best practices
What we bring to every engagement
One definition per KPI
A shared business glossary and semantic model end arguments about whose number is right.
Ownership in the business
Data owners and stewards sit in the business, because IT cannot fix data it does not create.
Fix quality at the source
Correcting data where it is created is cheaper and lasts longer than cleaning it in every report.
Build in increments
Each release delivers usable data products for one area, rather than a platform that waits years for content.
Security and privacy by design
Access control, classification and GDPR requirements are built into the platform from the start.
Make data ready for AI
Documented, well-governed data with clear lineage is what lets AI give answers you can trust.

AI-powered
Unleash the power of AI
We offer the possibility of using AI throughout this work: ready-to-use AI tools, or a customised version built for your organisation that can run inside your own infrastructure. In data and analytics, AI helps profile and clean data, suggest mappings between sources, generate documentation and pipeline code, and lets business users ask questions of their data in plain language. With a private set-up, those questions are answered inside your own platform, so sensitive data does not leave your environment.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a data platform?
A first version with data for one business area is typically in use within two to four months. The platform then grows release by release, so you see value early rather than after a long build.
Should we choose Microsoft Fabric, Databricks or Snowflake?
All three are strong platforms, and the right choice depends on your existing technology, skills, workloads and cost model. We compare them against your needs and recommend on that basis, not on a vendor preference.
Do we need to fix all our data before we can use AI?
No. We focus on the data behind your priority use cases and improve its quality, documentation and access step by step. Each improvement makes later AI initiatives quicker and more reliable.
How do you work with our current BI team and suppliers?
We work alongside your team and existing suppliers, adding the skills you lack from our partner network. Altechy remains your single point of contact and is accountable for delivery.
