03 / ServicesStrategy · Engineering · AI

One partner for the entire data, analytics and AI lifecycle.

Six integrated practices, one delivery model. From a two-week discovery sprint to a managed enterprise data & AI platform — Data Nectar owns the outcome, not just the sprint.

01 · AI / ML / Analytics

AI, ML & advanced analytics.

From descriptive dashboards to predictive and prescriptive intelligence — we pick the right technique per use case and ship models that operate reliably in production, not just in notebooks.

Forecasting

Demand, revenue, risk, churn — time-series at scale.

Optimisation

Pricing, routing, allocation, scheduling.

NLP & Vision

Document AI, classification, OCR, defect detection.

MLOps

CI/CD for models, drift detection, automated retraining.

02 · Generative AI

Generative AI engineering.

Enterprise copilots, retrieval pipelines and autonomous agents built on a governed AI fabric — with guardrails, evaluation harnesses and human-in-the-loop where it matters.

RAG systems

Hybrid retrieval over docs, tickets, code, drawings.

Agents

Tool-using agents wired into your operational systems.

Copilots

Domain copilots embedded in BI, CRM and field apps.

Guardrails

Eval, redaction, policy, audit — G-Fence pattern.

03 · Data Engineering

Data engineering & the lakehouse.

Reliable, scalable, governed data platforms — open formats, declarative pipelines and clear contracts between producers and consumers so the platform compounds rather than rots.

Lakehouse

Delta / Iceberg on Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery.

Streaming

Kafka, Kinesis, Spark Structured Streaming.

Modelling

dbt, dimensional & data-vault patterns.

Quality

Tests, SLAs, lineage, contracts, alerting.

04 · BI & Visualisation

BI & data visualisation.

Self-service analytics, executive dashboards and embedded analytics built on a single semantic layer — so every team trusts the same number and acts on the same definition.

Semantic layer

One model, one metric, every tool.

Dashboards

Executive, operational and embedded surfaces.

Self-service

Curated marts, governed exploration.

Activation

Reverse-ETL, alerts, data products.

05 · Strategy & Consulting

Data strategy & consulting.

Roadmaps, governance frameworks and target operating models that align data investments to outcomes — and make the next 18 months executable, not aspirational.

Assessment

Maturity, gaps, quick wins, anchor bets.

Operating model

Org design, RACI, capability map.

Governance

Catalog, ownership, MDM, policy.

Roadmap

Sequenced delivery with measurable KPIs.

06 · Digital Transformation

Digital transformation.

End-to-end modernisation across application, data and AI layers — delivered by senior multidisciplinary teams who own outcomes, not just sprints.

Legacy modernisation

Decompose, replatform, replace.

Cloud foundation

Landing zones, FinOps, security by design.

Platform engineering

Golden paths, IDP, self-service.

Change enablement

Delivery model

How we work.

The same four-phase rhythm across every engagement — small enough to start in two weeks, structured enough to scale across a multi-year programme.

01
Discover

Outcomes, constraints, data, risks. Define success in numbers.

02
Architect

Reference design, ADRs, contracts. Pick the right tools.

03
Build

Sprints with working software fortnightly. Reviews & demos.

04
Scale

Observability, enablement, handover. We design for day 90.

Engagement models

Start small. Scale with confidence.

Discovery sprint
2–4 weeks · fixed price

Working diagnosis, target architecture and a costed 6–12 month plan.

Build squad
8+ weeks · dedicated team

A senior, multidisciplinary pod that ships measurable outcomes every fortnight.

Managed platform
Quarterly · SLA-backed

We run your data & AI platform with SLOs, observability and continuous tuning.

Let's scope it

Tell us the outcome. We'll bring the team.

A response within one business day with a tailored proposal, indicative roadmap and the senior people who will actually deliver the work.
