Value-led, strategic
data leaders

Without exception, all our engagements are anchored in the business and not the technology. Meaning, we are driven and measured by commercial impact and not 'models built'.

Also, being software and technology agnostic means our advice is based on what we believe is best for you - mitigating technical debt and vendor lock in.

Data & AI strategy & delivery >>

Best of both
worlds

Our team represents a unique blend of data and investment experience.

We deeply understand the needs of private equity investors, the pressures of private equity ownership, and the challenges and benefits of data science and advanced analytics solutions. This balance enables us to think, act, and communicate as 'owners' rather than consultants.

What our clients say

Testimonials

“The DataDiligence team invested the necessary time to understand our portfolio company’s unique challenges and deliver a bespoke data strategy tailored to its business needs.

Following the successful delivery of Phase 1, which provided the foundations for our company to unearth insights to dig deeply into our data—identifying white space, cross-selling opportunities, and growth potential—Phase 2 has further accelerated our transformation. By integrating and unifying our systems into a scalable, AI-enabled infrastructure, we now have enhanced visibility across our operations, greater predictability of performance, and a solid foundation for future innovations.

Both phases were delivered on time and on budget, a remarkable achievement given the complexity of integrating multiple entities, systems, and data. The solutions provided by DataDiligence have not only positioned our company for sustainable growth but also ensured we are fully equipped to seize market opportunities with increased confidence.”
