Building a data strategy to meet your short-term and long-term goals can be one of the hardest legs of your data journey.

We work with you to lay out the logic of your strategy and define the steps you'll take to realize your goals.

How do you begin to document your strategy, practically speaking? 

You may already have an idea of what you should do, but need help putting it down on paper.

Once we've pinpointed your objectives, requirements, and current state (core elements like security, data sources), we establish scope and consolidate it into documentation.
‍
Our goal is to ensure that your data strategy proves and retains its value well into the future through lower cost and risk, improved data quality, and greater overall productivity.

You've got a map of your current environment, documentation of your needs, and a recommended path to your ideal state.

Implementation is a process of navigating not only the course you've charted, but also the obstacles that may arise in transit.

We're your conscientious guide through it all.

What are our data strategy capabilities?

We help you establish a strong technological foundation through five key dimensions of data management.

Business Cases

Identify and map 5-10 use cases from across the company to your organization's mission and vision. It can be challenging to justify the expense of master data management if the value to the org isn't evident via the use cases it supports.

Our consultants have worked on the business side and the tech side; we help you identify optimal use cases to pursue for your objectives, industry, and culture.

Technology and Architecture Guidelines

Determine an enterprise-level reference architecture that will govern how your organization uses technologies to achieve your business goals, which standards and tools should be employed across the organization, and how those technologies will be monitored and maintained.

Data Access and Security

Balancing security, access, and governance concerns against the need to give staff the freedom to use data is tricky. Some departments need to easily gather and visualize customer data; others need to maintain the highest level of security through the principle of least privilege. We help you find ways to ensure your data strategy doesn't bottleneck business as usual.

Data Engineering

Take a close look at the interoperability of your systems and the data sources they draw upon. Are there ways to make your pipelines more efficient, or to minimize the number of "homegrown" solutions running in your environment? Are you overprovisioning storage for long-forgotten duplicate data? Data engineering touches everything – and it provides the structure that equips better decisionmaking.

Data Quality

Quality is king. Trustworthy data, when used well, propels business by delivering the information and insights you need (and your leaders are asking for). Introducing standards, tools, and processes that ensure veracity is critical.

DI Squared is a highly trusted partner with superb technical leadership and a strong focus on customer success.  I have worked closely with DI Squared on all aspects of our data strategy including MDM migration, EDW design and delivery, and Qlik BI development and feel confident I can count on their team to deliver on business-critical solutions.

James Newsom

Sr. Director, Data Services, Jacuzzi

We're very impressed by DI Squared's ability to quickly identify, understand, and address our challenges. With them, we enhanced reporting to better support management and the field, which greatly improved our understanding of corporate results. They helped our organization to better understand our analytics platforms and gave our team the confidence to create more advanced reporting. Their extensive expertise, ability to provide broad support, and recommendations for short- and long- term roadmaps made a lasting impact.  

Michael Leong

VP, Finance & Adminstration, Transcourt Inc.

Paired with DI Squared developers' expertise, Qlik has revolutionized the way we visualize and interact with our data. Its robust capabilities allow us to connect to numerous data sources, customize metrics, create dynamic visuals, and perform ad hoc reporting efficiently. Together, DI Squared and Qlik allowed us to rapidly address critical data reporting gaps and equip our teams with actionable insights to drive improvements across all processes within operations. They’ve streamlined our day-to-day and hour-to-hour operations – without the burden of manual builds.

Sandra Grogg

Technical Product Manager, Dorman Products

DI Squared actively listened to our pain points, digested that information, and delivered an exceptional solution that’s beyond what we’d envisioned. CSN's Auxiliary Services department was manually managing multiple spreadsheets from multiple data sources and manually creating data reports for leadership. This process consumed significant resources, and created data accuracy concerns. DI Squared helped us organize our raw data with API connections. Now, we can customize data in any format, helping the reader easily digest data/information. We trust the integrity of our data.

If there is ever something I cannot figure out, with DI, I have a huge team of people behind me. DI Squared has been the most responsive consulting firm that I have ever worked with.

Chad Miller

VP of Finance, Hood Industries

Rakesh and the DI Squared team have been instrumental in assisting us with the development of daily management dashboards for key performance indicators (KPIs) at a reasonable cost. They are very responsive to our needs and creative – both technically and with on-going support. This tool is widely shared throughout the organization and with our client over the past 10 years.

Darlene Evans-Borinski

Sr. Director of Finance & Accounting, DNC Parks & Resorts at KSC, Inc.

It has been refreshing to work with the team at DI Squared. The people we work with demonstrate time and again that the company values a long term relationship with Gehls. The willingness to forgo short term revenue to provide an appropriate solution and the ability to always bring the best solutions to the table is greatly appreciated. We look forward to continuing this partnership and solving problems together.

With DI Squared Qlik implementation best practices, we've met our project goal of implementing an enterprise-wide information management system with matured data infrastructure to provide accurate and timely analytics/metrics/reporting. Our project included over 1,500 data tables, having trillions of data records, sourced from 10 major systems. That's all now integrated with Qlik, which delivers analytics/reporting based on the COE's needs. In turn, it eliminates silos and achieves significant collaboration while reducing dependence on IT.
