Simpson Associates’ Modern Data Analytics Assessment
Our Modern Data Analytics Assessment, available as an Essentials or Premium package, focuses on how a data strategy and data platform can enable your business to reach its corporate goals. We look at where you are now on your data journey, where you want to be, and most importantly, a roadmap to get you there.
What is the Modern Data Analytics Premium Assessment?
Perfect for an organisation not currently cloud enabled, having challenges with their current analytics platform, or who don’t have a data platform in place. The Modern Data Analytics Premium Assessment helps businesses to define a data modernisation roadmap – helping you to get the most out of your data.
Do you find yourself with multiple versions of the truth? Relying on manually created reports? Spending excessive time and effort on manual data processing? Alternatively, is your current data solution slow or inefficient, and not keeping up with user demand?
It can be hard to break the cycle with inadequacies like these, but with the Modern Data Analytics Premium Assessment, the path will become much clearer. It will enable you to understand best practices around developing a data platform, and appreciate the art of the possible.
Through a detailed assessment of strategic objectives, technical requirements, processes and capabilities, we can help define the current state of your data, as well as a strategy for your data modernisation and a roadmap on how to get there. Throughout this assessment, we will focus on your corporate goals, alongside cloud technologies, to ensure the roadmap you receive fits your business purposes.

It adds value if you are just at the beginning of your data journey, have a legacy data warehouse solution or are not getting the expected value from the current cloud platform that you have in place.
The assessment typically requires 8 to 10 hours of your time over a series of 1.5-hour workshops, aiming to complete the whole assessment process within 2 to 4 weeks. We work with you to define the detailed scope and deliverables of the engagement, then align resources so the process is as meets the required timelines.
We will provide all the information you need to move to the next stage of your data journey. The output document typically presented in PowerPoint, will provide a clear picture of the options, the expected benefits, the skills required, the anticipated costs and most importantly a roadmap to get you there.
