Data architecture & target picture
Domains, data flows and target architecture cleanly modeled. A grown landscape turns into a viable target picture with a clear migration line and decided interfaces.
Data architecture, governance and master data in one framework. Scattered sources become a reliable base for reporting, AI and regulatory evidence. We bring structure and ownership into data.
Reports pull from five sources, each with its own truth. AI projects fail on data quality. Compliance needs evidence that nobody maintains. The foundation has to be laid before anything new can stand.
In many organizations, data landscapes grow historically. Every department builds its source, every tool brings its schema. Master data sits in three places, definitions differ between controlling and sales, lineage lives only in the heads of a few. It works until the first audit or AI project demands evidence.
We build a shared architecture with clear governance. The goal is not the perfect platform, it is a usable foundation with defined domains, quality rules and accountability. Reporting, analytics and AI run on the same truth, compliance gets its evidence without extra effort.
Four priorities that interlock in every data mandate. Depending on maturity we start with architecture, governance, master data or platform.
Domains, data flows and target architecture cleanly modeled. A grown landscape turns into a viable target picture with a clear migration line and decided interfaces.
Roles, policies and quality rules anchored in operations. Data owner, steward and consumer know what they are accountable for. Quality is measured, not claimed.
Master data for customer, product and vendor harmonized and maintained. One golden record per domain, curation process and release logic documented. Reporting and operations run on one base.
Technical platform selected and built per use case. Lakehouse for analytics and AI, warehouse for standard reporting, data mesh for decentralized domains. Pragmatic, not dogmatic.
Twelve to sixteen weeks depending on scope. We work with IT, business and compliance together, not on a consulting island.
Map sources, domains and data flows. Interviews, system scans and extracts from ERP, CRM and data warehouse. Output: complete map with quality findings and prioritized action fields.
Target architecture, domain cut, governance framework. Roles, policies and quality rules defined and aligned with owners. Output: decided target picture with operating model and roadmap.
Technical platform set up, first domains migrated, teams enabled. Data stewards and consumers work on the new base. Output: running operation with documented architecture and active governance.
A data foundation that holds in daily work. No slides, architecture, governance and platform in operation.
Quality rules run automated, error rates drop, master data is unambiguous. Reporting and operations work on one truth, debates about numbers get shorter.
Data lineage, quality findings and access logic are documented. Audits, GDPR requests and regulatory reports are served from the platform, not reconstructed from spreadsheets.
Data consumers find, understand and use data on their own. New reports and analyses take days instead of weeks. IT is relieved, business teams can act.
Clean, documented and quality assured data is the precondition for robust AI applications. Models train on a reliable base, results stay traceable.
