Having a single, consistent enterprise-wide understanding of customers, products and services is an everyday challenge for many organisations.
A modern data architecture, provides key functionality to underpin and enable the development of data products such as ‘single customer view’ enabling the organisation to increase the value of data through harmonisation of all data available internally and externally.
Affinity Reply partners with organisations and leverages best practice of agile delivery approaches to realise value and early benefit through incremental development. This enables organisations to prioritise specific data products aligned to their strategy and vision to incrementally unlock insight from and increase value of data.
Driving real change in an organisation's approach to data has historically been the primary blocker to unlocking value and improving quality. This is often due to the lack of pragmatic and effective data management services in addition to no clear mandate for centralised data services.
Affinity Reply partners with organisations to address this, specifically by defining the value and terms of reference for the data management services required to transform your data swamp into an enriched data lake.
Taking the organisation and key stakeholder groups on a journey to maturity is key to ensure that value is realised, Affinity Reply ensures this by effectively implementing the foundations and then building incrementally on these key data capabilities.
