The foundation of an effective data platform lies in a deep understanding of your organisation's data landscape and objectives. Methods Analytics’ Discovery and Design process helps organisations clarify their requirements and align their data strategy with unique challenges and goals.
We Provide:
In-Depth Assessments: Identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities in your data infrastructure, governance and workflows through in-depth evaluations and collaborative workshops with stakeholders.
Tailored Architecture and PoC Development: Design bespoke, scalable data platform blueprints and validate solutions through small-scale Proof-of-Concept implementations.
Strategic Alignment and Clarity: Ensure your platform aligns with business priorities, scales with your organisation, and supports informed decisions on technologies like cloud, open-source tools, and AI/ML.
Actionable Roadmap for Success: Navigate the complexity of technology choices with a clear, strategic plan to maximise the value of your data platform from day one
Azure Data Services provides a set of fully managed relational, NoSQL and in-memory databases. These services automate tasks like configuring and managing high availability, disaster recovery, backups and data replication across regions. This automation saves you time and money, allowing you to focus on extracting value from your data rather than managing the infrastructure.
Azure Data Factory is a fully managed, serverless data integration service. It allows us to integrate all of your data, regardless of where it resides. With Azure Data Factory, we can create, schedule and manage data pipelines, transforming your data from disparate sources into meaningful insights.
AWS provides robust support for data lakes. AWS-powered data lakes, supported by the unmatched availability of Amazon S3 and Redshift, can handle the scale, agility and flexibility required to combine different data and analytics approaches. This allows us to build and store your data lakes on AWS, enabling you to gain deeper insights than with traditional data silos and data warehouses.
AWS Redshift is a fast, fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse that makes it simple and cost-effective to analyse all your data using your existing business intelligence tools. It delivers fast query performance by using columnar storage technology and parallel query execution. With Redshift, we can accelerate your time to insights with fast, easy and secure cloud data warehousing at scale.
We believe that a successful data platform is built on a deep understanding of your unique needs and context. Our approach is designed around four key steps - Discover, Design, Develop and Migrate - to ensure that we deliver a data platform that is secure, efficient and tailored to your specific requirements.
Designed for an AI-ready future, your platform will feature scalable, best-of-breed data capabilities with automated maintenance. Flexible interfaces ensure seamless integration of new data sources as they emerge
Migrate: To begin using your new data platform, we offer a comprehensive migration service to integrate your data, users, and systems seamlessly. Our team migrates historic data, models it for maximum value, and ensures full compliance with your policies. We onboard users, collaborate with suppliers, and rationalise legacy systems to start delivering savings. By working closely with your team, we tailor your platform to your unique needs, ensuring it is efficient, secure, and ready to deliver value from day one.

If an item becomes obsolete, no longer in use or isn’t working, it’s either disposed of or sent to storage. Across DE&S, there was no set process to monitor and manage the disposal risk of these items. It was only being done at team level, tracked over non-interfaced electronic systems, local spreadsheets and paper-based registers.
Systems could not be linked. Confidence in the disposal process could not be recorded or understood.
