FOR ENTERPRISES


INFUSE EXPERTISE INTO YOUR DATA-INTENSIVE PROJECTS


2-WEEK DATA-INTENSIVE INITIATIVE JUMPSTART

Are you planning a data-intensive initiative? Targeted Marketing, Predictive
Maintenance, Internet-of-Things, Customer Retention or most any other modern
initiative are data-intensive. Their success is largely dependent on access to
high-performing, high-quality, supported and understandable data. You may be
planning to build or improve a leverageable platform such as a data lake or a
data warehouse to support the initiative. 


PROOF OF CONCEPTS AND MINIMUM VIABLE PRODUCTS

Are you planning to launch a cloud data warehouse, a Big Data/NoSQL/Hadoop/Cloud
Storage/Data Lake structure, Master Data Management, or a Data
Integration/Prep/Streaming project? These need to be built to give users and
applications access to high-performing, high-quality, supported and
understandable data, and need to built as agile. This agile need means producing
an MVP (minimum viable product) or Proof of Concept (POC), with the ability to
expand from there.


INFORMATION MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN

McKnight Consulting Group will analyze your needs and provide expert advice
across the process, people, and technology that drive your organization and are
so critical to its success. MCG has built over 50 Information Management Action
Plans for our clients and contributed to business successes worldwide.


DATA PLATFORM SELECTION

One of the most important decisions you will make about your data is which
platform to store it in. This is, by a good measure, the technical decision with
the most leverage in the program for years to come.


DATA MATURITY ASSESSMENT AND IMPROVEMENT

An Increase in Data Maturity Correlates to an increase in business success. Each
level of maturity corresponds to not only increased data maturity, but also
increased organizational maturity and bottom-line ROI. There are recommended
targets to achieve an effective data management program. We provide a foundation
for enhancing current capabilities and updating the strategy and plans for
achievement of improved data management maturity, aligned with major
initiatives.


BUILD THE LEVERAGABLE DATA STRUCTURES YOUR COMPANY NEEDS


DATA WAREHOUSING AND ANALYTICS

The data warehouse is at the heart of the information centric organization. It
enables better, faster decision making by consolidating enterprise data into a
single accessible environment.


MASTER DATA MANAGEMENT

As data volumes and platforms increase, organizations struggle to keep the data
that drives their business synchronized with their many applications. Also, many
companies struggle to maintain some of the data that is most critical to their
operations and analytics—master data.


BIG DATA

As companies advance their capabilities to utilize every piece of information
possible, they are striving to get all information under management. This
includes the “big data” of sensor, webclick, social, complete logs, etc.


FOR VENDORS


BENCHMARK SERVICES

Our Benchmark reports help buyers make informed decisions based on rigorous,
hands-on testing. The Benchmark focus can be on Performance,
Total-Cost-of-Ownership, Ease-of-Use, Functionality, Time-to-Value or Energy
Consumption. They can be competitive or solo, published or internal. We can also
create comfort for the buyer with your value proposition with our "Day in the
Life Of" research. We’ve done 50+ benchmarks: databases (analytical,
operational), data lake, data integration, APIs, AI, data science, Kubernetes,
security, search, others. They are hugely impactful.


COMPETITIVE MARKET RESEARCH AND TRAINING

We build competitive analysis that highlights the value propositions and
challenges of the competitors. We provide McKnight Enterprise Contribution
Ranking Reports, McKnight Vital Indicators for Measuring Enterprise
Contribution, McKnight Vital Indicators Compliance Assessment, and Industry
Teardowns. We help companies understand and navigate their competitive
landscape. We offer in-house Competitive Workshops for your competitive, product
and sales teams on the cloud data warehouse, Big Data/NoSQL/Hadoop/Cloud
Storage/Data Lake, Master Data Management, and Data Integration/Prep/Streaming
markets.


ENGINEERING PROJECTS

Do you need a demonstration built to highlight the increasingly important
capabilities organizations need for managing modern data uses and empowering
digital strategies, and the capabilities of your product for solving the
challenges? These are useful as website-based demonstrations or as a sales
enablement tool. They are used in conference booths or as a critical data point
in your product roadmap.


RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT

In the information management market standing out from your competition is
challenging. Product differentiation and market messages are becoming difficult
to distinguish in the increasing crowded market. Using our unique voice, we'll
talk about a theme important to you and the market and tie your product to it,
as merited by our expertise.

TESTIMONIALS

"We engaged McKnight to fortify and mature our data governance program at
TDAmeritrade. Data is our key asset, so we needed consulting that was reputable,
experienced, and would be delivered with excellence. Poor data policies and poor
data come with a great cost, and we could not afford the time or cost of working
with anything less than the best. When it comes to data, McKnight is just that.
McKnight led us through the development of data policies, metadata, a data
quality program, data governance roles (and training), all the while making sure
we were addressing challenges and problems with discrete business purposes. With
McKnight's help, we built big data capabilities and master data management.
McKnight has an unparalleled reputation for excellence as consultants,
educators, and analysts. This is not without merit. McKnight is knowledgeable at
the highest levels for data, but more importantly, they understand the dynamics
of modern, large companies and what it takes to really move the needle. I
strongly endorse McKnight Consulting Group."

- Derek Strauss, Chief Data Officer, TD Ameritrade

We engaged McKnight Consulting Group to strategize and build customer master
data management for our insurance company. They were extremely efficient and
thorough in their approach. We went from a vague idea to all our customer
records under management in production in 3 months. MCG built out the
integration with third-party data sources and the data warehouse and the APIs
with diverse homegrown and commercial products. They built the portal, the
workflows and the matching strategy, always staying well connected to the user
community and our emerging data governance, which they helped groom as well.
They focused on production (and QA) from day one so that when the development
was ready, it was ready to be migrated. I highly recommend MCG for any data
management initiative.

Toby Cihla, Vice President of Data Architecture, Lio Insurance

MCG built our data management strategy and ran a master data management proof of
concept. They did an excellent job. The application of their impressive
expertise was outstanding. They had a solid methodological approach that was not
constrained by orthodoxy, and they were able to reach into our organization and
provide real leadership. Their business model of true data leaders for a finite
time frame, considering strategy as step one in a journey to production business
success and knowledge transfer, was perfect for us and for anyone. I highly
recommend MCG when it comes to monetizing your corporate data. They are the
experts at master data, analytical data, and data strategy.

- Director, Enterprise Architecture, Large Healthcare Company

"McKnight Consulting Group assisted us with recommending an analytic platform
for a research database and developing detailed plans for integration into the
environment (data sourcing, data quality, data modeling, data usage), including
developing the business plan. The project is intended to enable leveraging of
research data in an innovative way and is meant to and improve long-term
knowledge generation about complex biological systems. We could not afford to
take many false steps and needed advice and architecture from a trusted industry
leader. During our association, we have learned many techniques as it relates to
the management and the value realization of information. Without reservation, I
endorse McKnight Consulting Group."

- Alrun Burgmeier, Bioinformatics Scientist, BASF Plant Science LP

"American Credit Acceptance contracted with McKnight Consulting Group for one of
their Information Management Action Plans in the areas of Master Data Management
and Data Warehousing. We were very impressed with their deep expertise in
Information Management domains and their ability to work with our business
information owners to distill current state knowledge and produce viable plans
for the future. What was especially impressive was their sense of ownership and
genuine desire to assist us in reaching our information management maturation
goals. They kept informing us that they were helping to build out our
information management strategy and starting us on the journey to information
success as an end result. I sincerely value what McKnight Consulting brings to
the table and wholeheartedly recommend a McKnight Consulting Group Action Plan
to help take your information management capabilities and maturation to the next
level."

- Yemi Mateola, Director IT, Enterprise Architecture, American Credit Acceptance
