Data Architecture

We design how data flows from source to impact

Data architecture defines more than technology. It governs how data is created, managed and shared end to end, ensuring the structures are in place for it to be a trusted and valuable asset.

Our work covers the full journey, from defining the data lifecycle, retention policies, governance, and change control to designing data platforms, models, and access patterns that enable self-service analytics, automation, and AI. This creates an adaptable architecture that supports your daily operations and manages data flow from source to impact.

How We Deliver Data Architecture from Source to Impact

We provide end-to-end data architecture services that help organisations treat data as a managed asset and deliver measurable outcomes. The areas below represent our core offer, supported by additional services selected to fit your priorities and requirements.

Architecture Assessment & Roadmap

We review your current architecture, set a practical target state and provide a prioritised roadmap that shows the gaps and risks to address so you can move quickly while building solid foundations.

Data Governance

Governance only works when it gives your organisation trust and control at scale. Our Data Management Operating Model (DMOM) defines decision rights, ownership and stewardship, and embeds risk management, prioritisation and change control to create clear accountability and stronger compliance.

Data Quality

We assess quality by domain, trace issues back to the processes causing them and give you clear validation rules, checks and metrics, supported by practical processes for managing risks, fixes and change.

Seriös ONE

Our DataOps framework Seriös ONE accelerates data solution delivery with reusable templates and proven patterns, freeing your data team to focus on high‑value work and measurable outcomes.

Change & Support Management

Your team gets a clear view of how data change is captured and delivered, with defined roles and quality controls. Our support models manage daily incidents and improvements, enabling you to balance delivery momentum with reliable ongoing support.

Data Analytics & Self-Service

We build analytics layers and data models that make your data accurate and business‑ready, and enable governed self‑service so your team can produce reliable reports faster while staying secure and compliant.

When to Think About Your Data Architecture

Reviewing and evolving your data architecture should be a core part of your data strategy. It’s how you turn vision into delivery. Architecture defines the structures that make data trusted, accessible and scalable, and without it, even the best strategies can stall.

Our goal isn’t to rebuild everything at once. It’s to assess where you are, define where you need to be and build a roadmap that focuses your investment and lays strong foundations for long‑term value.

Is Your Data Architecture Ready for Analytics and AI?

Even the best data tools won’t deliver value without an architecture that supports how your organisation works. We put the right structures in place that make your data usable, governed, and ready to support analytics, automation and AI.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers...

What makes a data architecture “modern”?

A modern data architecture goes beyond pipelines and systems. It connects people, process and technology to ensure data is trusted, governed and ready for use across the organisation. It supports flexible access, self‑service automation and AI while maintaining control and compliance. A modern approach enables data to flow efficiently from source to impact, giving organisations a scalable and secure foundation for intelligent data use.

What architectural changes are needed to implement AI?

Implementing AI needs more than new tools. It requires a data architecture that delivers trusted, well‑governed and accessible data at scale. This includes clear ownership, lineage, quality controls and governance to keep data secure and compliant. The architecture must support experimentation and production and align to real use cases, as well as the organisation’s ability to adopt and apply AI responsibly.

What is a Data Management Operating Model (DMOM), and why does it matter?

A Data Management Operating Model (DMOM) defines how data is governed, owned and managed across an organisation. It sets out roles, responsibilities, decision rights and processes to ensure data is treated as a strategic asset.

A strong DMOM provides clarity on who does what, how data-related risks and issues are handled and how priorities are set and delivered. Without it, governance often becomes fragmented and reactive. With it, organisations can manage risk, build trust in data and support consistent, coordinated, value-driven data activity.

How do Seriös Group improve data quality in a sustainable way?

Improving data quality starts with understanding where issues originate, from poor modelling and inconsistent definitions to flawed capture processes. We assess each domain to identify risks, flows and KPIs, then highlight where change is needed. This may include redesigning processes, using AI to detect errors, centralising definitions and assigning clear ownership. By increasing transparency through self‑service and embedding quality into both design and day‑to‑day operations, we help organisations make quality sustainable rather than reactive.

Can self-service and strong data governance coexist?

Yes. Governance is what enables effective self‑service analytics. Strong data governance provides the clarity, structure and trust users need to work with data confidently. It ensures consistent definitions, maintained quality and controlled access. With the right governance in place, self‑service becomes faster, safer and more scalable, reducing reliance on central teams while keeping compliance and control. Done well, governance accelerates data use rather than slowing it down.
