Perhaps you don't have access to the original data source. Maybe you have datasets
duplicated across systems.
Systems evolve because business objectives change, key persons come and go,
due to increased legislation, due to technology changes & upgrades..

Every piece of information needs a direct line to a financial line item.
Movement of data must be tied to one or more business processes.
Any interactions with our data need to be healthy, relevant, necessary, safe.
We implement measures to trace these interactions down to the millisecond.

Perhaps you don't have access to the original data source. Maybe you have datasets
duplicated across systems.
Systems evolve because business objectives change, key persons come and go,
due to increased legislation, due to technology changes & upgrades.
Cost and time to market pressures often lead to Technical Debt.
This means we rarely have that clean slate of data parenting that
we aspire to.
DataDad provides an effective assessment program, coupled with appropriate recommendations.
Only authorised people have access to relevant data.
Confidential data is adequately protected.
Any data views and updates are strictly monitored, controlled and regularly reviewed.
Data is correct, is represented once and relationships with other system entities are
necessary, intact and up-to-date!
Data is classified adequately based on the applicable regulatory regimes.
Integrity between your business transaction systems (OLTP systems) and any business
intelligence systems are maintained.
These are some of the key points to consider when looking at an effective Data Architecture!
We subscribe to the Agile way of doing things and are firm believers of incremental changes
that have an immediate impact.
Core to our values, is code that is readable, reusable (as far as is practical), maintainable
and fit for purpose!
Some of our major recent projects include: Rewriting the accounts module of a PAS (policy admininistration system), Internationalising a locally built PAS, Single representation of the customer, Customisation which allows quick and easy addition of new fields to entities (without any structural changes), Flexible rating engine.
Backups and recovery, including disaster recovery practices and governance, all form part of
our standard database administration arsenal.
Performance tuning, environment provisioning and refreshes (for example a User Testing environment),
data scrubbing and masking (typically for confidential data) also form part of our service offering.
Our application development and data architecture experience means we are well suited to fully appreciate
the complete world in which your data is managed, whether at rest or in transit!
Financial and process traceability:
Every datum needs a direct line to a financial line item.
Movement of data must be tied to one or more business processes.
Audit trails and User traceability:
Synonymous with parenting, we want to ensure that all interactions with our data are
healthy, relevant, necessary, safe.
We implement measures to trace these interactions down to the millisecond.
Only authorised people have access to relevant data.
Confidential data is adequately protected.
Any data views and updates are strictly monitored, controlled and regularly reviewed.
Storage and Archiving:
Data is correct, is represented once and relationships with other system entities are
necessary, intact and up-to-date!
Data is classified adequately based on the applicable regulatory regimes.
Integrity between your business transaction systems (OLTP systems) and any business
intelligence systems are maintained.
