When higher education institutions can’t make sense of their data,
nothing makes sense.
We help you create a shared understanding of your data - where it’s used, who owns it and who relies on it - building the full picture needed to identify issues, gaps and priorities.
From there, we work alongside you to prioritise action, solve the problems that matter most and deliver lasting improvement.
Looking behind
the problem
Through structured discovery, analysis and collaboration, we create a Data Landscape Map - a shared view of your information, systems, ownership and dependencies.
​
Helping you understand what is happening and where to act.
Why start with a Data Landscape?
A Data Landscape Map helps you understand how your data connects, spot overlaps and identify where problems need attention.
​
In this quick walkthrough, explore the detail behind the bigger picture - from the relationships between data to the quality issues and systems involved.
​​​
The output is not the map.
It is knowing what to do next.

Creating a shared basis of action

Instead of different teams working from different assumptions, everyone works from the same evidence. It becomes easier to see the bigger picture, agree priorities and take pragmatic next steps that everyone can support.
Rather than fixing problems at the point of use, institutions can focus on where issues really originate - breaking the cycle of repeatedly solving the same problem in different ways.

Explore how Data Landscape Maps support better conversations about your data, with our podcast and blog.
Keep your landscape working for you
Whilst your Data Landscape Map gives you a trusted view of your data. COSMOS builds on that foundation, putting the ongoing management and monitoring of your data in your team’s hands.
Search, explore connections and filter by data quality, compliance or criticality - keeping the information behind your map up to date as your institution changes.
Watch the walkthrough to see COSMOS in practice. COSMOS is currently at (POC) proof of concept stage being trialled at several HE organisations.
