Reduce the complexity of managing data, in a simply magical way.
That's our mission. It drives every Information Product we build, every DataOps platform feature we automate, every network partner we support, and every pattern we share.
Talk to usWho is AgileData ?
AgileData.io Limited was founded in New Zealand data company in 2019 by Shane Gibson and Nigel Vining.
AgileData does three things, all about delivering valuable Information Products.
It builds Information Products for organisations, scoped with the Information Product Canvas. It licenses the Information Platform that builds them, via a simple monthly subscription. And it powers a network of independent data entrepreneurs who build Information Products for their own customers.
AgileData is designed for organisations that do not want to build and manage their own data teams or data platforms.Founded on a beach, built over two decades .
Shane and Nigel had a vision. Work with people they respect, from anywhere in the world (they think of it as working from any beach), get paid well for their expertise, and support the lifestyle they want.
As data experts, they naturally decided to build in the data domain. They founded AgileData at the beginning of 2019 to solve a problem they had seen repeatedly. Most data solutions need a plethora of technical people to create and manage, a plethora of software to purchase and integrate, and often cost millions, take years, and fail to deliver organisational value.
They brought 35+ years of data and product expertise (Shane) and 25+ years of engineering and automation skill (Nigel), plus a shared language honed over two decades of working side by side. In January 2019, Nigel cut the first piece of platform code. The AgileData Information Platform has been built and iterated continuously since.
Then came ADI, their AI data agent and trusted sidekick. She codifies their patterns and automates the work that usually slows data teams down.

Four simple principles .
Simplicity
We focus on people doing the work normally done by engineers. Not by teaching analysts to code, but by removing the need for code entirely.
As a Product
We'd rather automate the data work for our customers than force them to do it themselves. Everything we offer is packaged as a product, not a project.
Automation
If it requires effort from us, our customers, or our partners, we find a way for the machine to do it instead. We automate the snot out of everything we can.
Magic
We strive to add magic to every experience. Magic is hard to design for and difficult to prove, but you know it when you feel it.
How we want people to see us .
There is an old truth: your brand is not what you say it is, it is how people see you behave. So these five are not posters on a wall. They are the behaviours we hold ourselves to, and you should hold us to them too.
Straight Up
Honest, transparent, no sugarcoating. What you see is what you get.
Collaborative
Team members, not contractors or consultants. Collaboration beats competition. We grow stronger through shared success.
Maverick
We challenge the status quo and find opportunity in the opposite. Team Maverick, not a lone maverick and a goose.
Magical
We make the complex feel simple. The magic is hidden under the covers. You see the result.
Freedom
No VC. No rat race. We work where we want, when we want, and help others do the same.
Do more with less, faster .
We remove the need to build a large dedicated team of expensive data experts. We automate the effort, then get the data work done for you.
