About Datawise
Specialists in the systems that have to keep working.
Datawise is a specialist practice for legacy systems and data migration. Our experience goes back to the late 1990s, across aviation, banking, manufacturing, infrastructure and utilities, in projects where being wrong had consequences.
We are deliberately small. Every engagement is led and carried out by senior people, and where a project needs more capacity or a specific skill, we bring in specialists we have worked with for years.
How we work
Understand first
The system, not the documentation about it.
Change nothing you can’t undo
Every step can be rolled back.
Prove it with the data
If it can’t be shown from the data, it isn’t done.
Lead with experience
Every engagement is led by someone who has done this many times before.
Technology
We work with whatever a system was built on, from decades-old databases and homegrown code to current platforms. We don’t resell software and aren’t tied to any vendor, so our advice is about your system, not about a product. The tools change. The questions an old system has to answer before it can be changed do not.
