Databases & warehouses
Read-only service accounts, replicas or approved views for SQL databases and cloud warehouses. Client-hosted pipelines or private connectivity can be scoped where data must remain in your environment.
SDS / Managed services / Kenya & East Africa
Your data should
work every month.
SDS maintains reporting systems, tests data quality and gives decision-makers a defensible account of what changed. For organisations with real operating data, recurring decisions and no appetite for another reporting backlog.
The operating problem
No one should have to rebuild the same report twice.
01
Data that reconciles
We check completeness, duplicates, inconsistent definitions and unexplained changes before numbers reach management.
02
Reporting people can use
A documented data model, refresh process and focused management views replace repeated manual reporting.
03
A clear decision record
Each month, we record the findings, exceptions, owners and next actions. Your institution keeps the evidence.
Data access & operations
Connect the systems you already use.
CSV and Excel extracts can start an assessment. An ongoing service can use agreed database connections, application APIs, secure file transfers or your existing warehouse and BI environment. We choose and test the access method with your technical team.
APIs & business applications
Scheduled extraction from authorised application APIs, with agreed fields, rate limits and refresh frequency. Bespoke connectors require discovery, implementation and acceptance testing.
Secure files & shared storage
Scheduled SFTP or controlled object-storage deliveries for CSV, Excel and other agreed formats, with schema checks, encryption and retention rules.
A maintained analytics function
Data models, KPI definitions, pipeline monitoring, reconciliation, failed-refresh alerts and a remediation log. The contract defines dashboard changes, analyst capacity, review sessions and incident coverage.
Access, data residency and permissions are agreed before connection. The public assessment sample demonstrates file quality checks; production integrations are configured for each client. Send a brief first, then use the agreed secure access process for data and credentials.
How we engage
Start with evidence. Continue where it pays.
USD starting prices are indicative, not currency conversions or binding offers. SDS issues an exact quote, scope, delivery schedule and payment terms for approval before work starts.

What we need from you
