What is Data Foundation?

Data Foundation establishes a secure, scalable, and well-governed infrastructure to ensure data reliability, security, and compliance. It includes:

  • Data Architecture: designing and optimising data platforms.
  • Data Governance: security, compliance, access control, and data quality.
  • Best practices to support enterprise-wide data initiatives.

Data Foundation services are especially valuable in highly regulated industries – like finance or healthcare – or simply for companies looking to migrate to the cloud, modernise data platforms, achieve robust data governance and security.

Data Foundation with Alter Solutions

We offer several Data Foundation services to help organisations build a reliable infrastructure:
Group 612 Group 612-1
Data Governance

We make sure that your data is managed in a secure, accurate, reliable and compliant way, and that it is available whenever necessary for those who need access to it.

Data Architecture

According to your business needs and objectives, data can be stored and managed either on the cloud, on-premises, or on a hybrid architecture.

Metadata Management & Data Catalogs

The former is an approach to manage the collection, storage and use of metadata (data that describes data). The latter is a tool to support metadata management and other data-related tasks, consisting of an organised list of all the data assets in the organisation.

Master Data Management (MDM)

We can help you through this process of creating and maintaining a single master file with all the data in the organisation (customers, products, employees, suppliers, locations, assets, etc.), in order to achieve better reporting, decision-making, and efficiency.

Data Lineage

Keep track of the flow of data throughout its lifecycle: how it’s generated, transformed, transmitted and used over time (and why). This allows you to improve data quality and trust, quickly identify root causes of specific data issues (and fix them), ensure compliance, among other things.

The benefits of Data Foundation

Strong risk management

Effective data governance ensures compliance with global regulations, protecting sensitive information and reducing legal risks, while safeguarding businesses from costly fines and reputational damages.

Improved data quality

Clear data policies ensure that data remains accurate, reliable, and consistent across the organisation, leading to better insights about customer behaviour, innovation, new opportunities, and improved decision-making.

Higher security and privacy
Data Governance implements strict security protocols to protect sensitive data, ensuring customer trust, meeting privacy standards, and preventing data breaches that could harm businesses’ reputation and performance.
Scalability and interoperability
Well-defined data governance practices guarantee secure yet easy access to quality data, fostering collaboration and enabling teams to make faster, more informed decisions. Businesses can grow in a sustainable manner, making sure that relevant data is always accessible, secure and manageable across systems.
