Data Warehouse, Infrastructure and Governance
We offer end-to-end data insights via best in breed integration , design methodology & DevOps security and scalability
Dealing with data discrepancies, slow business processes and abandoned business intelligence initiatives?
As businesses grow, structures change in parallel, creating disparate data and variations in business processes. As a consequence, reports start becoming inaccurate, take longer to be put together and put pressure on the business to manage. By developing a Data Warehouse you can improve your business data accuracy whilst maximising reporting efficiency and building a valuable information asset for your business. But where to start? we advocate a bottom up approach, focusing first on your most crucial business processes and building engagement with your stakeholders.
Benefits for your business
- Improve data quality and processes
- Reduce time to value
- Track compliance
- Establish business rules
- Automate design, developing and deployment
- Trace discrepancies
Our Methodology will identify quick wins to get going
Instead of taking weeks exploring API’s and manual methods to acces and structure your different data sources, it would take us a day or less to get a data analytics ready schema up and running. To do so we leverage our prime data ingestion partner, Fivetran, to access your company data siloes in e.g, Xero, Hubspot, Salesforce, etc… with an analytics ready schema. After this quick win, we will be able to easily build the data warehouse, bringing in and layering additional integrations from other systems, consolidating them.
In a nutshell, KeyData can rapidly build you a central source of data, extracting insights quickly through automation using our bottom-up approach. Our main focus is to make sure key stakeholders remain involved and efficiently contribute in the project, making sure they get the right data to act with.

DevOps Approach
In order to support all stages of a data warehouse development and maintenance we use methodologies from DevOps. These include GIT repositories, as well as code driven separated environments that support security and sustainability of efficient data integration processes. Furthermore, our approach assures efficient preparation and modelling of your data making it fit for consumption by business.
We embrace transparency and clarity across all our services.
Datawarehouse Design Stages
To accelerate and facilitate data discovery, stakeholder engagement, and requirement analysis we use Model Storming to:
- Align project goals, expectations and business questions.
- Determine the scope of the project in relation to business objectives.
- Discover future needs and current needs by diving deep into your data (find out what data will be useful for analysis) and your current tech stack (where your data is currently siloed / not being put to use?)
Data warehouses typically have three primary physical environments — development, testing, and production. Setting them up will enable us to:
- Test changes before they move into the production environment.
- Ensure security best practices that block testers and developers from modifying the production environment.
- Run tests against data.
- Tracking, monitoring and managing data integrity.
- Containing errors when running tests and avoid and impacting performance.
Data modeling involves shaping the data structures to achieve the following purposes:
- Schema performance
- Consistent repeatable data regardless of the visualisation.
- Standardise of dimentions, facts and names in line with business terminology.
- Alignment with business questions.
- Ability to provide data linage, cataloguing and dictionary.
- Alignment with compliance and security protocols.
For this we use Tableau and/or Power B.I. our focus is visual design best practices. You can see more of this in our Dashboard Design and Data Integration Service.
We will work with you to plan the handover and design your desired level of enablement of your internal team.
Technology we use
We integrate all data sources leveraging the best technology platforms available
Change the way you think about Data Warehouse projects
Develop Faster
These projects don't have to be endless and painful. Save time and money, replace boilerplate DDL/DML with simple SQL SELECT statements that infer dependencies, build tables and views, and run models in order. Write code that writes itself with macros, ref statements, and auto-complete commands in the Cloud IDE.
Whatever data sources you have, we can help you deliver accurate information to your business quickly. Our approach reduces time and cost, improving business buy in by using an standard set of policies and practices for succesful business transformation.
Work from the same assumptions
We avoid senseless meetings and major blockers by using pre-packaged and custom testing, helping the business create a “paper-trail” of validated assumptions for data collaborators. We like to promote trust and transparency for our data consumers by using auto-generated dependency graphs and dynamic data dictionaries.
Deploy with confidence
Making sure things work the way are supposed to can be easier than ever. We Build observability into transformation workflows with in-app scheduling, logging, and alerting. Protection policies on branches ensure data moves through governed processes including dev, stage, and prod environments generated by every CI run.
Support governance & security
We aim to eliminate data doubt with version control, testing, logging, and alerting. We leverage our partners platforms functionalities to snapshot changes over time and provide open access to hosted documentation. The structure and nature of the technology we use supports managing risks with SOC-2 compliance, CI/CD deployment, RBAC, and ELT architecture.
