Data Strategy & Organisation

Woodmark is your expert partner for turning business into IT and data into success. We accompany you reliably to your goal. To do this, we develop strategies, align your organisation and organise processes.

Data strategy

Our experts work with you to develop a sustainable data and business intelligence (BI) strategy. We derive the strategy from your business model, focussing on data as an asset. We also offer you a data culture workshop for self-service BI, among other things. We renew the organisation of your company so that you can monetise your data effortlessly.

Organisation of structures and processes

Following a thorough requirements analysis, we work with you to design the structural and procedural organisation of the data and BI area for your data strategy or a data lab organisation. This may take the form of a Data Analytics Competence Centre, BICC (BI Competence Centre) or a BI Shared Service Centre.

 

Data platform

Data is becoming an integral part of value creation. But if you want to sell data as part of your business model, you need a reliable data platform. We help in setting up this platform, including the associated processes and roles, so that you can use your data profitably and monetize its value.

BI audits and innovation management

Determination of the utilisation potential of data and BI innovations as well as development and introduction of customer-specific agile procedures for BI projects. As a neutral consultant, we audit and evaluate your BI system including processes, architecture and performance systematically.

Change Management

Data solutions create added value directly in your company's day-to-day work. Together with employees from specialist departments and higher-level units, we support your transformation process towards data-driven business.

Use Case Acceleration

From AI idea to implementation-ready MVP – structured, fast, effective

Many companies recognize the potential of AI and GenAI—but struggle with unclear use cases, lack of prioritization, or a target architecture that isn’t feasible. This is exactly where Use Case Acceleration comes in: we turn your ideas into a concrete, implementable solution in a short time.

The value of our workshop offering:

  • Clear prioritization: Identification of use cases with the highest business impact
  • Rapid execution: Development of a feasible MVP instead of abstract concepts
  • Reduced risk: Technical and economic validation before implementation
  • End-to-end alignment: A shared target vision across business, IT, and data
  • Scalability from day one: Architecture and roadmap for sustainable growth

What you will receive:

  • Clearly defined and evaluated AI/GenAI use cases
  • An implementation-ready MVP blueprint (including prioritized backlog and sprint planning)
  • An AI-ready target architecture with concrete implementation recommendations
  • A roadmap for scaling beyond the MVP
  • Transparent decision-making foundations for budgeting and investments

How it works:

1) Preparation: Analysis of your current situation, data landscape, and relevant use cases

2) 2-day intensive workshop:

  • Refinement of requirements and product vision
  • Assessment of feasibility and business value
  • Definition and prioritization of the MVP

3) Outcome phase: Development of a structured MVP blueprint within a few weeks

Takeaway:
You receive a coordinated, technically validated, and immediately implementable AI MVP blueprint that gives you confidence for the next steps—from execution to scaling.

This workshop is available in the AWS Marketplace

Data Platform Concept

Use your company's wealth of data

Link your data, create synergies and integrate AI into your processes!

Would you like to advance the digitalisation of your department, but don't have the necessary cloud expertise? We translate your requirements into IT, i.e. support you with a feasibility study and test your use case. This allows you to find out quickly and cost-effectively whether moving to the cloud is worthwhile for you and what you need to bear in mind.

 

Focus group: Team leaders from the specialist departments, e.g. Finance, Purchasing, HR, Production & Sales

Offer content and results: With the ‘Dataplatform Concept’, you lay the foundation for the use of AI solutions in your company. We provide you with the following jointly developed plans:

  • Concept for a cloud target architecture of the data platform
  • Concrete blueprint for an MVP
  • AI & Analytics use cases prio list for implementation on the data platform
  • AI scaling plan in the form of backlogs

Implementation phases:

  1. Inventory of IT, vision and data strategy as well as definition of the value streams of your specific business
  2. Possible use cases are identified and prioritised based on the requirements analysis. We specify the initial data requirements for the platform.
  3. Development of the data platform architecture, the MVP concept and the roadmap

All advantages at a glance:

  • By focussing on an MVP, the risk of bad investments is reduced, as it quickly becomes clear whether the project can generate added value.
  • You receive a clearly defined implementation strategy to realise your idea step by step.
  • Based on your value streams, we focus on the core functionalities
  • By developing an MVP, a functioning version of the data platform is quickly made live and tested. This shortens the time-to-market.
  • The architecture blueprint ensures that the planned solution is designed for scalability and future expansion right from the start.

Cloud Software Quality Review

We analyse the quality assurance of your software development

As part of our Cloud Software Quality Review, Woodmark experts analyse the current quality assurance (QA) status of your software. Based on the results, you will receive customised recommendations from us. This allows you to manage your various challenges independently and achieve efficient QA in the cloud. This allows you to realise potential benefits such as the early detection of errors, ensuring your product quality, cost savings and faster go-lives.

 

Focus group: IT Project Managers, IT Department Managers, Product Owners, (Test) Center of Excellence

Objective: You will be able to recognise and classify challenges in software quality assurance in the cloud. With the specific recommendations, you will have the problem avoidance or solution under control. You will also be aware of the benefits of the respective optimisation, such as:

  • Early identification of errors
  • Functioning change management
  • More efficient processes in software quality assurance
  • Cost savings through rework
  • Faster implementation, i.e. shorter time to market


Contents and methods

  1. One-day workshop to assess software quality assurance when using the cloud and to identify areas of action for further optimisation.
  2. Up to five interviews to clarify individual topics in detail from the perspective of the various participants and roles such as Release Train Engineer, Product Manager, Product Owner, Scrum Master, Tester, Developer, etc.
  3. Creation of a decision template to present the optimisation options for the identified topics in the form of a PowerPoint presentation.

Result

  • Presentation of the current situation based on the workshop and interview information
  • Detailed description of the identified challenges and fields of action
  • Decision template with tailored recommendations for optimising software quality assurance in the cloud
