The AgileData Network

People like you, but not near you.

A global network of independent data partners delivering Information Products to their customers using the AgileData Information Platform and Way of Working.

You bring the customers and the expertise. We bring the platform, the patterns and the automation. Connected, that's a network.

What is it

One network, one shared foundation.

The AgileData Network is a group of independent data entrepreneurs who all deliver valuable Information Products to their customers using one shared foundation.

Every partner leverages the same ecosystem, so every partner can deliver valuable Information Products fast, without reinventing the wheel.

P

The AgileData Information Platform

The end-to-end intelligent data platform, infrastructure, storage, design, transformation, quality, governance, cataloguing and access.

W

The Way of Working

Our agile data practices and patterns, codified so you don't have to invent them.

ADI, the data agent

Our virtual data agent, automating the repetitive data work quietly in the background.

"People like you, but not near you", independent data businesses, spread across the world, stronger because they're connected.

Who it's for

For consultants with customers, not infrastructure.

The Network is for data consultants who have customers to serve, but don't want to build and run a data platform to serve them. You might be:

Side hustle

Starting a side hustle

Leveraging your data expertise to deliver "data as a service" alongside your day job.

Going full-time

A full-time consultant

Moving from selling hours and effort to selling outcomes and value.

Scaling up

A scaling consultancy

Growing your revenue without growing your salary bill at the same pace.

What every partner has in common: you own the customer relationship and the domain expertise. What you need is a platform and a way of working to deliver on it. That's exactly what the Network provides.

The problem

Building a data consultancy is harder than it should be.

Three things make it harder than it should be, and the Network removes all three.

Build it
$100,000s of bench time
Building your own data platform burns hundreds of thousands of dollars of your own time, before you've earned a cent from it.
Run it
Engineers to hire
Hiring DataOps engineers to run that platform is expensive and risky.
Carry it
All on your own
Forever switching between working in the business and on it, while competing against far larger consultancies.

The platform is already built. The engineering is already done. And you're no longer on your own.

How it works

You, we, together.

The model is simple, and it splits cleanly between what you do and what we do.

You

Bring the relationship

You bring the customer relationship and the domain expertise. You understand your customers, their industry and the data problems worth solving.

We

Provide the rails

We provide the AgileData Information Platform, the Way of Working and ADI's automation, plus advisers and mentors when you need them.

Together

A fractional data team

You deliver Information Products as a fractional data team, available when customers need you, with their data always available when they need it.

You charge your customersfor the continuous value you deliver.

You pay a simple subscriptionto AgileData, per customer, month by month.

We cover storage and compute, not you, and not your customers.

The deliverable

What is an Information Product?

A packaged, repeatable solution to a specific data outcome.

Across the Network, partners craft Information Products for common outcomes. Some are pre-built and ready for you to adapt; others you craft from scratch for a customer's specific use case.

Answer a burning business question Automate the dross Build a unified customer view Migrate legacy data Manage master data Replace a legacy data warehouse

Either way they run on the AgileData Information Platform, so you're always adapting and delivering, never rebuilding the foundations.

What you get

Everything you need to deliver, except the customer.

That part is yours. As a Network partner you get the rest:

P

The AgileData Information Platform

Remove the cost, effort and risk of crafting your own data platform and writing screeds of complex code.

W

The Way of Working

The lessons we learnt, the patterns we used and the practices we codified running our own data consultancies.

A

ADI, our data agent

Automation that does the repetitive heavy lifting, so a team of one can deliver an end-to-end data service.

M

Advisers & mentors

Shane and Nigel, helping you build your consulting business as if it were our own.

C

The crowd

Access to the wider Network of partners, their solutions and their scale.

Better together

There is power in a crowd.

On your own, you're limited by your own capacity and your own expertise. As part of the Network, you can combine with other trusted partners to get the scale you need, exactly when you need it. It works in both directions.

You give →

Share what you've solved

Build deep expertise in an industry or use case, offer it to the rest of the Network, and be rewarded when other partners leverage it for their customers.

← You gain

Leverage what others built

When another partner has already solved a problem you're facing, you leverage their work for yours, instead of starting from scratch.

Size sometimes matters. The Network is how a small, independent data business gets the scale of a large one, without the overhead of a large one.

The economics

Paid for the fifth E.

Most data consultants sell their effort, their expertise, their experience or their efficiency, billed by the hour. The income stops the moment the work stops.
