Data analysis and manipulation

New techniques (e.g. natural language processing) are enabling legacy data to be structured in multiple, purpose specific ways without the risk inherent in a manual approach.

Although these systems are new and evolving fast, we have experience of the myriad issues and recognise the importance of building in some degree of flexibility.

Projects can be dysfunctional when those leading implementations fail to grasp the essence of business processes. We therefore recommend a thorough evaluation of legacy systems, compare this to your project’s ambition to identify the gap and then help co-ordinate your resources to optimise individual contributions and, ultimately, enthusiasm for change.

The complexity of legacy systems is often buried deep in the history of an organisation’s evolution so we contend that recognising this element of why a business functions as it does today is critical when planning for the future.
