Too much data. Too little clarity.

Disconnected systems make it hard to trust information and harder still to act on it.

Across housing, education, and public services, leaders are flooded with data but struggle to turn it into decisions. Data sits in silos, dashboards don’t align, and AI feels out of reach.

Crimson helps you create a trusted data foundation that’s ready for responsible AI — combining Microsoft’s technology stack with governance, security, and insight that makes change measurable

The first benefit we saw was the data capture and having a place for that ‘golden record’ that was completely visible. Previously, I couldn’t see a plot file in Norfolk to review what a customer said, but now it is all there on screen.

Stage 1
Explore the possibilities

Scope success and identify opportunities

Start with a free half-day workshop (or optional 3-day deep dive) to define what “data success” means for your organisation. Together we’ll map challenges, identify complexities, and outline potential areas for value creation.

Stage 3
Expand and enrich your data

Explore additional data sources for a complete performance view. We refine data collection processes, remove bias, and improve consistency — creating the foundation for advanced analytics.
