Erisna for Consulting Firms
Turn one-off consulting engagements into recurring, platform-enabled services
Erisna gives consulting firms a reusable data governance, quality and observability layer that can be incorporated into advisory, implementation and managed-service engagements. Use the platform to assess a client’s data, operationalise your recommendations, evidence delivery progress and continue monitoring data quality after the initial project has finished.
Consulting use cases
AI readiness and data-quality assessment
Evaluate whether the client’s data is suitable for analytics, automation, agents and production AI.
Go beyond maturity commentary by conducting actual profiling and validation. Provide evidence of trusted and risky datasets, ownership gaps, failed checks and remediation priorities.
Best suited to: AI, analytics and digital-transformation consultancies.
Data migration and integration assurance
Use Erisna before, during and after a migration to profile legacy data, document source-to-target mappings, define validation rules, identify exceptions and monitor quality after go-live.
This provides a governed assurance layer around the wider implementation programme without replacing the client’s source or target platforms.
Best suited to: Systems integrators, ERP and CRM consultancies, cloud partners and transformation firms.
Data governance accelerator
Move clients from disconnected spreadsheets, interviews and policy documents to a live catalogue of data assets, definitions, classifications, owners, stewards and controls.
Your team can design the governance framework while Erisna provides the operational environment through which it is implemented and maintained.
Best suited to: Data governance, GRC, privacy and operating-model consultancies.
Managed data observability
Continue monitoring the client’s critical datasets after implementation. Run scheduled quality checks, identify failures, and maintain a prioritised remediation backlog.
This can underpin a monthly monitoring service, quarterly quality review or broader data-operations offering.
Best suited to: Data engineering, platform engineering, cloud and data-operations consultancies.
From advisory recommendation to operational capability
The platform combines data cataloguing, glossary, ownership, lineage, mappings, compliance classification, profiling, validation, cleansing reports, data-health scoring, alerts and observability in one environment.
Your consulting expertise
You lead the client relationship and bring the sector expertise, methodology, operating-model design, transformation leadership and implementation experience.
The Erisna platform layer
Erisna provides a practical environment for discovering data, defining controls, validating quality, documenting ownership, monitoring health and evidencing improvement.
The client outcome
The client receives more than a report or technical implementation. They gain an accessible and maintainable view of:
- What data exists and where it comes from
- What it means and how it is used
- Who owns and manages it
- Which data can be trusted
- What issues need to be resolved
- Whether data quality is improving
How consulting teams use Erisna
1. Discover
Connect to the client’s databases, cloud platforms and file-based sources to create an initial view of systems, datasets, structures and relationships.
Document business definitions, data domains, ownership, stewardship and sensitive-data classifications.
2. Evaluate
Profile critical datasets and apply rules for mandatory values, duplicates, formats, thresholds and client-specific requirements.
Use completeness scores, trust scores and failed-rule results to identify where data is reliable, where risk exists and what should be fixed first.
3. Operationalise
Turn the engagement’s recommendations into a working catalogue, governance structure, migration mapping, quality framework or assurance dashboard.
Assign responsibilities and provide cleansing reports or remediation evidence showing where specific issues occur.
4. Monitor and improve
Continue validating critical datasets after the initial engagement or implementation.
Track health over time, surface new failures, review remediation progress and provide clients with regular quality or governance reporting.
Erisna supports immediate and scheduled validation, downloadable cleansing reports, health checks, trust scoring and ongoing observability across connected sources.
