Data governance · Data management · Analytics

Build data your organization can trust and act on.

Data governance and data management come first. We turn fragmented enterprise data into governed, AI-ready assets, with named owners, quality and security controls and modern pipelines, then build the models and dashboards leaders act on.

Governed data lifecycleA lifecycle ring: data is created, integrated, validated, used, retained and finally disposed of. At the center, named owners and stewards are accountable for each stage.CreateIntegrateValidateUseRetainDisposeOwners &stewards

The challenge

Most data problems are ownership problems first.

Data is spread across operational systems, cloud applications, spreadsheets and records repositories. Systems disagree, definitions differ between teams, and customers find errors before your checks do.

Every new analytics, AI or personalization project inherits those inconsistencies, and better tools alone don't solve them. We fix the causes, from ownership and quality rules to pipelines and retention, then build the analytics and models on top.

Who this is for

  • Chief data officers and data leaders

    A data strategy and governance program that people actually follow.

  • IT and enterprise architecture

    A modern data platform and pipelines that replace fragile point-to-point connections.

  • Executives and business leaders

    Forecasts and dashboards they trust enough to make decisions on.

  • Analytics, AI and marketing teams

    Documented, approved data to build on, including consented customer data for Adobe.

  • Risk, privacy and compliance teams

    Sensitive data classified and controlled, with evidence that the rules are applied.

  • Records and information managers

    Retention and disposition that are consistent and defensible.

What we deliver

Services and capabilities

Our services are modular. We design, build and support the parts you need, from strategy, data management and governance to pipelines, models and dashboards. Cloud platforms and AI/ML enablement come from our Engineering & Technology practice.

  • Data strategy and analytics

    Data investments drift when nobody has agreed what the data is for. We set a data and analytics strategy tied to business goals, and sequence the work that delivers it.

    • Data and analytics maturity assessment
    • Data strategy tied to business outcomes
    • Analytics roadmap and prioritized use cases
    • Success measures for each initiative
  • Data governance and data management

    Data rules often live in documents nobody follows. We put owners, policies and shared definitions in place that stay in use, and manage data consistently across systems.

    • Governance policies, standards and decision forums
    • Named data owners and stewards, with training and support
    • Business glossary, metadata and lineage
    • Data management standards applied across systems
  • Regulatory compliance, data quality and security

    The same errors get fixed by hand, and sensitive data is hard to protect when nobody knows where it is. We build quality rules into your data flows and classify and control sensitive information.

    • Data profiling, quality rules and validation
    • Quality monitoring and issue resolution
    • Classification of sensitive information and role-based access
    • Controls designed to support GDPR, CCPA and other obligations
  • Modern data architecture and engineering

    Legacy warehouses and one-off extracts can't keep up with new sources and uses. We design and engineer data platforms that scale with your data and serve analytics and AI from one governed foundation.

    • Target data architecture and platform design
    • Data engineering: ingestion, transformation and modeling
    • Scalable architecture that grows with data volumes
    • Cloud data platforms on AWS and Azure, built with Engineering & Technology
  • Integrated data solutions

    Systems disagree because each keeps its own copy. We unify multi-source enterprise data pipelines across databases, cloud services and on-premises systems, so data is accurate and accessible.

    • Integration strategy and architecture
    • Multi-source pipelines and consolidation across systems
    • Real-time access where decisions depend on it
    • Ongoing support and optimization
  • Data science and predictive modeling

    Historical reports explain what happened but not what comes next. We build predictive models on governed data and turn their results into executive insights.

    • Exploratory and statistical analysis
    • Predictive modeling
    • Executive insights tied to specific decisions
    • Production models through AI/ML enablement in Engineering & Technology
  • Data storytelling and visualization

    Dashboards nobody opens don't change decisions. We design visualizations and data stories around the questions leaders ask, built on shared definitions so the numbers agree.

    • Dashboards and executive reporting
    • Data storytelling for leadership and board audiences
    • Shared metric definitions across reports
    • Analytics built on governed, documented data
  • AI-ready data

    Profiles, reports and AI tools inherit every error and consent gap in their data. We prepare customer and operational data, and the rules for using it, before the platforms and projects that depend on it go live.

    • Documented, approved datasets for AI and analytics
    • Data requirements and approvals for AI use cases
    • Quality, identity and consent rules for customer profiles used in MarTech
    • AI governance for the systems that use the data
  • Lifecycle, retention and records

    Information kept forever adds cost and risk, and retention schedules on paper don't change daily work. We put lifecycle rules into use, so information is kept while needed and disposed of on a documented decision.

    • Retention schedules, record series and file plans
    • Defensible disposition, with decisions documented
    • Records management in MapleRecord, our records platform
    • AI-driven record management with MOLI
    • Wider records and information governance through our Information Governance & Records practice

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • What does your Data & Analytics practice cover?

    Data strategy and analytics, data governance and management, regulatory compliance, data quality and security, modern data architecture and engineering, integrated data solutions, data science, and data storytelling and visualization. Together they turn fragmented enterprise data into governed, AI-ready assets.

  • What is data governance?

    Data governance is how an organization manages the availability, usability, integrity and security of its data. It covers who is accountable for data, the policies and standards that apply, and the processes that keep data accurate and compliant.

  • Where do you start?

    You can start with the data that matters most to one outcome, such as a customer view, an executive dashboard, a regulatory report or an AI use case. We assess how that data is managed today, implement the priorities with you, then extend from there instead of trying to cover everything at once.

  • Do you build the pipelines and models, or only design them?

    Both. We design the architecture, build and consolidate pipelines across databases, cloud and on-premises systems, develop models and dashboards, and provide ongoing support and optimization once they are running.

  • How does this relate to cloud engineering and AI/ML enablement?

    Our Engineering & Technology practice builds and runs the cloud platforms on AWS and Azure and takes models into production through AI/ML enablement. Data & Analytics makes sure the data those platforms and models use is governed, high quality and approved for use. Most programs draw on both.

  • How does data management support Adobe and AI projects?

    Adobe Experience Platform builds customer profiles from the data you send it, so duplicates, errors and missing consent can flow straight into audiences and personalization. We set quality, identity and consent rules before data is activated and apply them in Adobe Experience Platform as part of our MarTech work. AI governance depends on the same groundwork: knowing what data a system uses, who owns it and whether it may be used.

  • How do MapleRecord and MOLI fit with your records work?

    MapleRecord, our records management platform for electronic and physical records, and MOLI, our AI-driven record management system, are designed and built by Maverick InnoGarage and are the products behind our Information Governance & Records practice. When a records program needs software, we configure retention schedules, record series and access in them. Schedules and file plans we develop with you don't depend on any particular system.
