What it runs on

Data platforms

Fivetran, dbt, Talend, Informatica, Airbyte.

These are the tools that move data between the other three pillars and prove it arrived intact. Which one fits depends on whether the hard part is getting data out, reshaping it, or convincing somebody the result is right.

What we work in

Five, and what each is for

  • Fivetran

    Managed connectors. You stop writing extraction code and start paying for it not to break.

  • dbt

    Transformation as version controlled SQL, with tests and lineage. This is where the definition of a number lives.

  • Talend

    Broad integration tooling with a long reach into older systems that have no modern connector.

  • Informatica

    Enterprise scale integration and governance, where the requirement is as much about control as movement.

  • Airbyte

    Open source connectors, and the option to write your own when the one you need does not exist.

What we do with them

Migration, transformation, cleansing, reconciliation, integration

  • Migration into a system that is replacing another
  • Transformation to the model the target expects
  • Cleansing rules, written down and applied in the open
  • Reconciliation you can run yourself
  • Integrations in production, monitored and alerting
  • A data dictionary for what you end up with

How we work

Discovery, design, build, run

  1. Discovery

    We look at what you actually have, and what has to still be true afterwards. There is no meter running on discussion time here. You get as many sessions as it takes to understand what is being built and why.

  2. Design

    Written down before anything is built. Scope, the shape of the solution, and the things we have agreed not to do.

  3. Build

    In the open, against real data, in increments you can look at. Nothing arrives as a surprise at the end.

  4. Run

    Live, then supported. Monitored, maintained, and extended as the business changes.

Engagement

How this gets bought

Four ways

Fixed price, time and materials, retainer, or managed service. There is no minimum engagement size, so a single integration is a real conversation and not a rounding error.

What you are paying for

Senior people on the actual work, not a pyramid with one architect and fifteen juniors. Large firms charge a premium that has more to do with their overhead than with the quality of the delivery. The same work can be done properly for less, and that is the reason this company exists.
