What is your data hiding?

There is something in there you have not seen yet. We help you find it and put it to use.

Reference architecture

How data travels from the systems where it is created to a report people trust. Every layer can be swapped, and the tooling follows your stack.

Shown generically. In practice the tooling follows what you already run, for example Microsoft Fabric or Azure, Snowflake or Databricks, with dbt or SQL for the transformations.

Data engineering

No pipeline yet? We build one. We collect data from your systems, clean it and store it so it can be trusted and reused.

Data analysis

We look for patterns, causes and surprises in your data and turn them into something you can act on.

Power BI reports

Dashboards that get used. Built for the person making the decision, not the person making the report.

How we work

Ask

We start with what you want to know, not with the data you have.

Dig

We clean, connect and explore until something stands out.

Find

We deliver what changes a decision, explained without jargon.

Cases

The first chapter is being written.

We have just started and our first projects are on the way. If you have a question your data might answer, we would like to hear it.

About us

Blake Data is a new, small consultancy with big ambitions.

We believe the best insights sit just beneath the surface, and that they appear when someone dares to ask the next question.

We are few, we work close to you, and we explain what we find so it can be used.

Let us find out what is hiding.
