Data Strategies Focused on Outcomes

Data has evolved into a critical business function for enterprise organizations. At the least, data is the nervous system of your operations, and for many data is a critical part of their products or services. While many mistakenly think of data as a technology challenge, the reality is that reliable data is the end result of people, process, and technology all working together. According to Gartner, the majority (85%) of large data initiatives are doomed to fail without a holistic plan and strategic approach to their data.

That's why Marlabs helps clients build data strategies that address all aspects required to deliver real value and business outcomes. We use our expertise and proven processes to ensure your success.

O que é o MAP e como ele pode ajudá-lo?

MAP (Modern Analytics Platform) is a data strategy framework that Marlabs developed to help enterprises realize the promise and power of data-driven decision intelligence. Over time, we've learned that successful data initiatives require a holistic approach that encompasses people, processes, technology, and data. We built and tested MAP as a customizable, proven roadmap to assess, plan, guide, execute, and sustain enterprise-level data strategy. We shorten the process with custom accelerators and solutions that solve recurring challenges.

The MAP Framework "Roadmaps" Your Data Strategy

This video provides a quick and simple introduction to MAP and COMPASS, covering the main components of MAP and what our COMPASS process involves. MAP encompasses the entire journey your organization must travel. What's that journey's destination? Reliable, effective decision intelligence that improves business outcomes.

In this video, learn how how we break down your journey into strategy, execution, and enablement and the components of each category. By customizing a roadmap specifically for you, we give you and your stakeholders a clear understanding of where you stand and what you need to do next so everyone is aligned.

Strategy

MAP begins with a strategic foundation to ensure we’ve asked and answered all the important questions about how you trust your data, supply your data, and analyze your data. Our process reveals and defines the path forward and includes data governance, platform selection, and business-value alignment.

Execution

Once the strategy is clear, we look at the tactical requirements needed to meet your objectives. After a plan is in place, our team can deliver a complete, end-to-end data and analytics solution or fill in the gaps based on your current needs. We use process and technology accelerators to deliver results more efficiently.

Enablement

At the heart of enablement is organizational change management (OCM). OCM includes guiding the adoption, accessibility, and education of your data strategy throughout your team. Our team can help accelerate this process by providing support, training, education, and user adoption.

Comece da maneira certa

Successfully executing a data strategy is a daunting task and it's especially so at the enterprise level. With all the parts and pieces that need to fit into place across your people, processes, and technology, it’s no wonder so many data initiatives fail.

Our COMPASS evaluation uses MAP to provide a clear path for your unique journey. With these tools, we can meet your organizational needs at any level, taking you from where you stand now to becoming a data-driven force that leverages decision intelligence.

COMPASS’ comprehensive evaluation process includes gathering input from stakeholders, performing a full inventory of your current data and technology stack, and building a custom map that visually lays out where you are and the steps to take you where you need to go. We work with many leading partners so that we can choose the best fit your unique needs.

The process takes between 6 weeks to 3 months, depending on your size, technology infrastructure, and business objectives. Undergoing data modernization, or what some call “digital transformation,” is a massive undertaking for all organizations. We’ve learned that taking time up front to plan your data strategy, execution, and enablement will take you to your desired business outcomes and decision intelligence much faster.
