Andersen's consultants are practicing Data engineers that perform a broad set of services – from overall data governance to specific data platform solutions.
Data governance
Depending on your needs, our consultants have all the processes and knowledge in place to assess and envision proposals in the broad area of data governance – from data quality and data security policies to target data modeling, operations, reference data, and data architecture.
Data platform solutions
Possessing knowledge of unified data infrastructures, we enable our customers to use them with maximum efficiency: sources, ingestion and transportation, storage, query and processing, transformation, and analysis and output. Andesen's expertise covers AI and ML, archiving, BI, E2E data flows (ETL and DWH), and tech audits.
Well-structured approach
In order to provide the most cost-effective and productive recommendations, our team had clear project scenarios for each case – with all inputs, activities, deliverables, suppliers, participants, consumers, and tech drivers clearly defined for a quick start and swift implementation.
Typical data platform solutions

Tech audits and E2E data platform consulting
A tech audit is aimed at identifying bottlenecks concerning data storage, processing, and preparation, as well as queries, data models, potential improvements, etc. Once issues are identified, we provide advice for their E2E removal. Andersen's experts are prepared to cover the ETL aspect – i.e. assess how data is Extracted from original sources, Transformed by de-duplicating and combining, and Loaded into databases. Also, we can provide assistance with enterprise data warehousing (DWH) and usage of systems for reporting and analysis.
