Data Strategy and Leadership
Data Platform Decision.
A platform choice you can defend.
The service
A platform choice you can defend now and in three years time. Criteria locked before vendors are scored, every option costed on your usage, staying put included. For a renewal, a vendor pushing migration, or two data estates after a merger.
What you get
What lands on your desk.
A cost of ownership model
Built on your usage: licences, compute, storage, people, migration and exit, with sensitivities tested.
A decision paper
The outline business case, the recommendation and a migration outline, written for your executives.
Criteria locked first
Agreed with you and fixed before any option is scored, so the appraisal holds up to challenge.
