- Scale your systems as your data holdings increase
- Reduce data related risks
- Visualise data

The Audit Report
The report is split into four sections: Access, Analyse, Learn and Predict. Similar to a SWOT analysis, it will help you to understand areas of improvement and prioritise future actions which will support growth and mitigate any risks.
Access; Find out how you access your current data, checking existing data warehouse capability and ability to integrate reporting.
Analyse; Analyse how the current capabilities include reporting needs, quality, accuracy and confidence in data.
Learn; Learning how to understand your data and add further value. This could include the addition of new data sources.
Predict; Learn how to predict outcomes from your systems and data to help to develop and progress the business further.
When assessing and analysing, you’ll discover any blockers that could be preventing you from reaching your full data potential. Common questions are:
- Would we benefit from data integration or data warehousing?
- Should we be concerned about the availability of our data sources?
- Are our reports cumbersome or inaccurate?
- Do we provide users with the high-quality data they need to make fully informed decisions?
- How much would employees benefit from being able to use business intelligence to visualise and analyse data?
Learning and predicting will help you gain a competitive advantage by anticipating future opportunities and risks that you should be aware of.
Examples of common questions include:
- How could machine learning benefit the business?
- Could the latest technologies drive growth, protect our turnover or deliver a return on investment?
