Data Analytics

Strategy Consulting

Application of advanced data analysis allows businesses to make strategic and investment decisions based on insight rather than gut feeling. It can be used to introduce improvements and control to drive efficiency and value within business operations. Both use cases are reflective of the maturity and penetration of advanced analytics within the organisation.

Shelde begins this process by understanding the current state, specifically how data products are developed and used today across the organisation. Once gaps are identified, we work with you to identify new data products on a case-by-case basis.

An enterprise data strategy extends beyond the analytics or insights generated, it needs to encompass design, governance, security, integration, exploitation (development of data products) and storage. Shelde will help you determine the target state in alignment with the business strategy and application.

Visual Analytics

Visual analytics can be a powerful focus for change and improvement - correctly aligned to business goals they help to drive value, common understanding and control, crucial to embedding successful change. At Shelde, our multi-skilled team build strategic data products for your organisation - not single point solutions. We understand that the same data can have a myriad of uses across the organisation.

We build our solutions to scale, extracting key features that can be utilised by your team depending on use case. We leverage the tools and technology which already exist and can advise of other best in breed solutions applicable to your use cases. Understanding of the 'now' is the objective.

Advanced Analytics

Our team can help you deliver clean, accurate and timely data insights across the organisation tailored to the business unit across the wider organisation. Advanced analytics takes the 'now' and predicts the likely outcome to drive improved business outcomes. We recognize that decisions and interventions can have multiple outcomes e.g. analytics driving increases in customer volumes can eventually impact applications and processes servicing those customers, which can impact their overall customer experience. We provide a whole of business approach to predicting insights and automating action.

Problems can be identified, analysed and addressed before the customer complains, or the predicted insight can be used to enable meaningful conversations with the customer at the right time to optimise sales strike rates. This is achieved by delivering scalable machine learning solutions and, once proven, this insight can be delivered to an appropriate application with decision-making capabilities to take the next best action.

Analytics Pipeline and Operations

Consistent and repeatable implementation and operation of data solutions ensures scalability for large complex organisations. Shelde can build and deliver automated data pipelines, optimise analytics training, tuning and testing, implement workflows to deploy your analytics and automatically monitor and update your statistical models, where applicable.
Above and beyond the traditional consulting relationship, Shelde help clients recognise the changes required to ensure the value of their data products are fully optimised. Educating, engaging and embedding change across an organisation’s workforce is essential to ensure the data products continue to deliver value. Our team assists through identification of business model changes, formal and informal training sessions, and working with clients to embed clear roles, responsibilities, governance and KPIs. This push to drive adoption within the organisation is crucial to the success of new data products and part of Shelde’s continued commitment to our clients’ success.
