About Data Management Consulting
Keep Calm..It's Just Data
I have over 30 years of extensive experience acquired through working with different companies across a variety of industries.
Corporates include Mondelez, Netcare, Famous Brands, Murray & Roberts, Accenture, JSE, Nestle and Deloitte.
Industries include debt collection, electronics, education, crop production, financial services, legal and manufacturing.
Excel is my data management tool of choice. Even more so now that it contains loads of business intelligence tools. One being Power Query which enables transformation of data without having to use complex formulas and programming code.
Why Microsoft Excel?
Excel is a popular and widely used application that compliments other solutions.
In Feb 2021, Go Skills noted “Excel has over 750 million users worldwide, and over 80 percent of businesses still use Excel”.

Managing Your Data
Keep Calm..It's Just Data
Data exists in every organisation. Often though it’s not fully organised or understood. Rather, it may come from disparate sources, and in various formats with limited context. The challenge, for companies and users is they may not know what data they have, where or how it is stored, if it’s useful, or how to turn it into meaningful insights that they can act upon.
Data is unique to companies and users therefore, only a unique approach will enable you to get the most out of your data. The services I offer are tailored for your unique requirements whether I prepare your data, I train you to prepare it or a combination.
No matter the service, the objective is to prepare data that facilitates analytics and provides decision makers with timely answers and insights into to the operation of their business so that management may take efficient and effective measures to ensure their company's growth.
My clients have been able to go from, having a vague idea, to having a comprehensive understanding of the operations of their business. To determine and quantify what works and what does not. To take corrective measures and make improvements. To identify gaps and anomalies. Get answers specific to their business.
Individuals and students can focus on their project, research, thesis or other work while I prepare their data. When it’s time for them to analyse their data it’s ready to go.
