Data is one of the most valuable assets any organisation holds — but without the right strategy, it can remain underutilised, fragmented, or even a liability. At 6B, we provide end-to-end Data Services that transform raw information into actionable insights, supporting smarter decisions and stronger outcomes.
Whether you’re consolidating legacy databases, integrating multiple data sources, or building real-time analytics pipelines, we ensure your data works harder for you. Our solutions help reduce inefficiencies, uncover new opportunities, and provide the foundation for innovation — from predictive analytics to AI-driven automation.
Understanding Modern Data Services
Modern organisations generate vast volumes of data across systems, teams, and customer touchpoints. Without structure and strategy, this data can become inconsistent, siloed, and difficult to trust. Data Services provide the processes, platforms, and governance needed to make information reliable, accessible, and secure.
At 6B, we view Data Services as a strategic enabler. Clean, well-structured data fuels everything from personalised customer journeys to operational efficiency and regulatory compliance. Whether it’s migrating to cloud-based data warehouses, creating master data models, or enabling advanced reporting, our focus is on delivering solutions that are not just technically sound but closely aligned with your business priorities.
We’ve supported organisations across healthcare, finance, education, and the public sector, where the integrity and security of data are paramount. Regardless of sector, our goal is the same: to turn information into a competitive advantage.
Our Approach to Data Services
We begin with discovery: understanding your current data landscape, identifying sources, mapping flows, and analysing quality issues. Through workshops and audits, we surface opportunities for consolidation, cleansing, and governance improvements.
From there, we design and implement tailored data strategies that may include:
- Data integration: connecting systems and creating unified, real-time data views.
- Data migration: moving information securely between platforms with minimal disruption.
- Data quality and governance: defining ownership, rules, and standards for consistent, trustworthy data.
- Data architecture: building scalable warehouses, lakes, and pipelines to support advanced analytics.
- Reporting and analytics: creating dashboards, KPIs, and models that empower evidence-based decisions.
- Compliance and security: embedding data protection standards to meet GDPR and sector-specific requirements.
We work collaboratively with your teams to ensure solutions are transparent, maintainable, and future-proof — enabling you to scale and evolve your data capability over time.
