Your situation Symptoms How Datazed can help
You have set up data
governance but it’s not
delivering sufficient benefit
• The controls process has become “tick box”.
• Decision makers are not engaging with the issues.
• Your expensive tooling isn’t adding value.
• Datazed will review your current environment
and assess what is working and what doesn’t.
• We’ll then introduce pragmatic data
governance.
• We will engage and upskill your teams.
You have already engaged
a well-known consultancy
• Work is being carried out by junior associates.
• The processes in the beautiful PowerPoint slides
don’t seem to be happening in real life.
• Continual requests for additional spend.
• Datazed can act as a trusted advisor to
oversee the work.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of the deliverables.
• Ensure that the consultants are adding value.
You can’t find the right
people or you don’t have
headcount available
• People with other day jobs such as IT, Risk or
Compliance or responsible for Data Governance.
• Finding it hard to recruit suitable talent.
• Data teams are generally small and may not be
able to justify a senior specialist FTE.
• Datazed will work on your strategy and
implementation to get things going.
• We will help you upskill or hire people to then
continue the good work.
• Datazed can provide ongoing support on a
periodic or retainer basis.
Your processes are manual
and slow
• Reliance on Excel to manage your data
dictionary, issue log and controls, which is hard to
maintain.
• Data owners and stewards don’t respond to
emails.
• Datazed evaluates and recommends tooling
solutions, focusing on your use case and
budget rather than simply going “best in
class”.
• Moving activity away from email enhances
business engagement and responsiveness.

5. We are ready for IR35
• Changes to the application of the IR35 rules are increasing the risks around using
contractors on traditional “day rate” or “time and materials” arrangements.
• We work through focused Statements of Work which enable you to clarify your
business needs, what Datazed will help you with and that the project has been
delivered.
• We are happy to provide a third-party assessment to evaluate that our
agreements fall outside IR35.
• You need only continue the relationship if there are additional activities to deliver.

6. We can build a team to meet your needs
• Additional or specialist resource can be engaged using my network of
independent consultants, such as:
• GDPR and Data Protection specialists
• Data Quality analysts
• Information Security experts
• Experienced MDM managers
• These individuals would be engaged through Datazed so they would be project
costs, not head count.

7. We help you find the right tools
• Datazed has non-exclusive relationships with several technology vendors which
gives us additional insight and expertise.
• We will always select the right solution to meet your needs and your budget. We
do not steer multiple clients down the same path.
• You will be using these tools long after Datazed has completed its activity, so we
work with established vendors to minimise your counterparty risks in the long term.
