KEY OUTCOME

The client gained a clear path from fragmented systems to a modern data architecture, with a fully documented roadmap and business case.

How did Data Ideology solve this organization’s challenge?

CHALLENGE SUMMARY

The client was overwhelmed by the volume and complexity of their data, with internal teams spending more time preparing data than analyzing it. There was no single source of truth across systems, which made reporting slow, inconsistent, and manual. Leadership needed a modern, flexible data environment and a clear plan to get there—but lacked visibility into the current state or a defined path forward.

SOLUTION SUMMARY

Data Ideology conducted a comprehensive discovery process to understand both the business and technical landscape. Through interviews, documentation, and architectural mapping, we created a clear picture of the client's current-state environment. From there, we defined a future-state architecture and delivered a phased roadmap, complete with cost estimates, platform recommendations, and a prioritized initiative sequence to guide execution.

THE CHALLENGE

  • Disconnected and undocumented data sources made it hard to assess current state.

  • No centralized architecture or data ownership model existed.
  • Reporting needs outpaced the limitations of legacy tools and structures.
  • Lack of a strategic execution plan prevented buy-in and investment in modernization.

THE RESULTS

  • Inventoried and documented all data sources and current repositories.
  • Mapped and diagrammed existing data flows and system integrations.
  • Defined and agreed upon data domains to establish governance clarity.
  • Assessed and benchmarked the client’s data maturity across capabilities.
