Data Engineering and Platforms

Building modern, scalable data platforms

Despite holding more data than ever, enterprises remain frustrated by incomplete information, blocked analytics teams, and time lost to Excel consolidation. We help enterprises by designing and building modern, scalable data platforms. Our approach is hands-on, from data modelling that creates structured views your stakeholders can act on, to data integration that brings fragmented sources together into a unified, reliable foundation.

Ninety One: Enabling data democratisation and secure data sharing across the digital investment platform

Ninety One’s embarked on a strategic data transformation initiative to modernise how data is accessed, governed, and shared across the organisation. 

The team needed to improve accessibility to trusted data across internal and external stakeholders while aligning with enterprise-wide governance standards.


The project would require integrating multiple systems, supporting secure data sharing, and enabling consistent, consumable datasets for analytics and reporting.

We implemented a cloud-native architecture using Azure Databricks, with data layers to standardise data ingestion, transformation, and consumption.

 

The platform provides scalable ETL, analytics, AI, and dashboarding capabilities, with flexible deployment pipelines and secure data connectivity across the the department.

Improved access to trusted data: Teams can securely access aggregated, queryable datasets for self-service analytics and decision-making.


Streamlined data sharing: Automated and secure delivery mechanisms simplify collaboration across internal and external stakeholders.
