Data Strategy & Advisory

We draw on 20 years of experience in data systems and architecture to guide you on your journey to becoming a modern, data-led organisation

About our work

Becoming a data-driven organisation means having easy access to high-quality, timely analysis – a single view of customers or service users, insights into their needs, and a clear understanding of future trends. Yet, it can be overwhelming to work out what steps are needed to reach this goal. Organisations come to us to benefit from our experience in planning what’s needed to become fully data-led. A data strategy is often a crucial first step on this journey.

At Mime, our stakeholder-led approach ensures that people at all levels of your organisation can contribute, ensuring senior leaders are fully supportive of the action plan. We take the time to understand your systems, datasets, and processes, drawing on best practices from similar organisations and aligning with your strategic goals.

Even if a formal data strategy isn’t required, we provide advice on topics such as system procurement and guidance on joining up data systems to generate rapid insights that support agile decision-making.
