find - organise - retrieve - maximise
Merlin Datawise uses its FORM ethos to understand your current data management and provide solutions to the problems you are having. FORM is equally applicable to whole projects or individual activities. Acting as a checklist it ensure delivery of quality solutions for your business.
What's involved?
- FIND: Building an overview of your data holdings and storage environments allows us to gain an understanding of their status - good and bad. As a result we shine a light on the ‘dark data’ within your business.
- ORGANISE: We help ensure your data is fit-for-purpose. In other words, the most useful it can be for your workflows. We can carry out data consolidation, sorting, scanning and sanitisation. Following this a consistent structure can be established and data catalogued. Bad data is always ‘bad’ no matter how much it is analysed. The key aim of 'organise' is to minimise bad and redundant data to allow value optimisation activities to be entirely focused on trusted data.
- RETRIEVE: We help make your data accessible and re-usable. The first step is to establish a safe place to store your data. You can then take control of data workflows, data versions and auditing. By using consistent descriptive terminology to index your data (metadata) we help improve context and findability. Giving your users access to the right data at the right time.
- MAXIMISE: We can help you unlock the full business insight from your data. By applying our Keywise service you can add additional context to your text-based documents. Merlin Datawise have expert data knowledge which can be applied to extract the value from your key data collections. Finally we can carry out business process mapping to reveal how data flows and is used within your business.
