Data Strategy & Engineering

Unlock your data and harness it to your business strategy to power data-driven decision-making, operational efficiency and competitive advantage.

Businesses have always thrived on insight, never more so than today. With the ubiquity of online digital services, data is broader and more detailed than ever, offering new and exciting opportunities to better understand your business and your customers, and satisfy ever-demanding regulators.

However, it is a complex challenge to build a robust data strategy and a scalable and secure data infrastructure that adapts to evolving business needs while ensuring data quality and governance. That challenge has many facets – integrating data from disparate sources, ensuring quality and consistency, scaling infrastructure to meet growing demands, and maintaining security and compliance in an ever-evolving regulatory and technological landscape.

Achieve your goals with us

Scott Logic’s heritage is in developing front-end trading systems in Capital Markets. We have built intuitive systems that present vast quantities of real-time information that traders use to make split-second decisions. We know how to display analytics that can be viewed and understood in an instant, by people working in the most high-pressure environments.

As organisations grow, the number of data sources increases, typically in silos. Understanding this data, aggregating it, and providing open and secure access—while still maintaining control—requires a range of different capabilities and expertise. Our data specialists understand these challenges and can work with your organisation to modernise its approach to data, driving transformational business value.

Principles of our successful approach

Dive deep

We rapidly gain a deep understanding of your organisational goals and challenges, as well as the data you hold and how it flows (or doesn’t flow) through the organisation.

Set a clear vision

We work with your business and technology stakeholders to shape a data strategy setting out a clear vision for the value to be created, supported by a prioritised delivery plan.

Release regularly

We take an iterative and incremental approach to implementing the data pipelines and processes, validating at each stage that they are delivering the expected value.

Transfer knowledge and skills

We upskill your technology teams in the new systems and support you in establishing data governance that drives a continuous process of deriving value from data as your business needs evolve.

Our tried-and-tested solutions

While our approach is always tailored to your needs, we have a range of tried-and-tested solutions that speed up delivery and drive a successful outcome.

Data strategy development

Many organisations struggle to unlock the full potential of their data due to fragmented systems, poor data quality, and a lack of strategic direction. We work in close collaboration with you to develop a cohesive, future-proof plan to harness data effectively.

AI enablement

Your data and systems architecture need to be up to scratch before you can leverage the potential efficiencies of AI. Our proven experience in both data and AI make us a reliable partner for your ambitions.

Data Strategy is not a Technology Problem

In this keynote talk from 'Why you can't buy a good data strategy off the shelf', Peter Chamberlin explains why you can't procure your way to a great data strategy, and encourages you to think differently – focusing on the value you want to create, rather than the technology you think you need to buy.

Are Data Mesh and Data Fabric just Marchitecture?

In this episode of Beyond the Hype, Oliver Cronk, Andrew Carr and David Hope talk about the ever-changing world of data, with conversations moving from data warehouse to data lake, and data mesh to data fabric. They discuss the importance of data ownership and common tooling, and their view that data mesh is an approach rather than an architecture.
