What we are good at
The Virtual Forge helps companies to define and progress the programs that turn data into business value. We work with data leaders and consumers within your business to clearly define where investments can be made in your data ecosystem to drive a quantifiable return, and then we align internal and external teams to accomplish those goals.
Business-Led Data Strategy
Your data doesn't exist in a vacuum. You get a strategy where investments in people, process, or technology are evaluated based on their quantifiable value. We help you simplify and prioritize strategic programs so they deliver maximum business benefit with minimum execution risk.
Sustainable Data Governance
Governance only works when it produces value for the stakeholders who support it. You get a practical program that captures the "as-is" state of your critical tasks, maintaining the metadata, dictionaries, and catalogs needed to keep your operations running properly.
Trusted Data Quality
Nothing erodes trust faster than poor data. You benefit from defined measurements and monitoring KPIs that expose the true quality of your sources. We help you implement the quality controls needed to turn raw information into a trusted business product.
Technical Advisory & Implementation
Whether you are preparing for a migration or looking to improve ecosystem performance, you get expert implementation support. We ensure your strategy is sound and that your technical architecture is built to realize your long-term goals.
Our usual process
1 - Data Strategy Discovery
Baseline your current strategy and align your data activities with the vision of your leadership and the needs of your data consumers.
2 - Data Maturity Assessment
Get a clear synthesis of your business and technical strengths and weaknesses to inform your future roadmap.
3 - Data Strategy Blueprint
