HOW
WE DO IT
All businesses want to be more productive and we all like to get things done. But when productivity comes at the cost of understanding, it’s easy to lose control of the reigns. Unfortunately, there are many business systems out there that bury critical data, create unnecessary reproductions and actively discourage access. Multiple systems mean multiple databases, with so much duplicated it can be difficult to understand the truth.
At Reddish Green we’re not trying to sell you a system but get more out of the one you already have. We make it our business to help you understand yours, to unlock levels of insight from your existing investment in technology you never thought possible. And what makes Reddish Green different is the way we do our thing.
We talk to you, and work with you along the way.
The digital transformation journey is rarely straight forward, so we adopt a flexible approach to this dynamic process. From discovery through to delivery, we’ll collaborate with you every step of the way to make sure we fully understand your challenges and build solutions that work.
We have the combined tech and business savvy to bring it all together.
With combined expertise from the worlds of tech and business, we understand that most data challenges require a technical solution based on a thorough understanding of your business; how you work and what you are striving for. Our solutions are targeted to improve business performance, using technology as a key enabler.
We fix our prices, so there’s no nasty surprises.
Following discovery, we’ll define a scope of work and present you with a fixed price quotation. We take on the risk of delivery, to take the stress and uncertainty out of the process for you.
OUR PROCESS
Discovery
It all starts with a discovery process. This is the part where we come in and meet everyone involved in the project, at all levels of the organisation. We’ll ask questions and try to understand your business and the challenges you face; whether you’re trying to spot patterns in customer behaviour, identify where you can improve your margins or locate the cause of inefficiencies in your process.
Audit
This stage is more about taking our understanding of your business processes at a human level and the technology that’s used to support it. An audit will reveal things like data quality gaps, data access challenges and integration issues. This part of the process will help us evaluate the likely steps to success and anticipate the technology challenges we might face in building your solution.
Organise, Clean and Tidy
During this process of unlocking, organising and integrating data, its underlying quality is often revealed. This includes missing or incorrect data, poorly validated or duplicated data. We’ll spend time with your business to understand these issues and implement tech solutions to both cleanse historic data, often changing processes to prevent quality issues recurring.
Visualisation
While Gandhi had the strength of vision to see the world as it could be, we find that the visualisation process is an iterative one. We’ll produce a minimally viable visualisation and then work with the stakeholders to ensure it evolves to precisely meet the requirements of the business. This usually involves creating new measures that hadn’t originally been thought of in the initial scope, which we allow for in our fixed price.
ReddishGreen Analytics Platform
This is the final stage where business intelligence meets data analytics. We funnel all sources of data into a single, structured aggregate, which we call ‘the dashboard’. Your customised dashboard will give you a simplified 360 view of your business from which you’ll be able to drill down and investigate with a click of your mouse. Then, together we’ll generate actionable agendas to help you achieve your goals.
For each user group (C-suite, team leader etc) we will provide dashboards, updated in real time published on our React platform using Microsoft security to control access. This can be provided through existing Microsoft tenants or through our own inhouse analytics platform. All access is multi factor authenticated.
Ongoing Support & Evolution
As your business evolves so will your dashboards. Integrations will need to accommodate changes in processes, software upgrades and new data sources. Your dashboards will also need to evolve to accommodate new strategic priorities. We provide ongoing support and maintenance on a tiered basis to reflect the rate of change you anticipate for your business. We’ll discuss this ongoing commitment at the initial scope & pricing stage with precise requirements firmed up once the dashboards have been built.
