Data. It’s often called “the new oil”, the world’s most valuable resource.
​
​Data has the capacity to radically improve the key results of your organization and help you better serve your clients.
-
Are you effectively using the data you have to drive better decisions and results?
-
Are you building a strategy to get more of the data and insights you need?
-
Are you investing in modern technologies to manage data, insights and actions?
If you are not planning for a future where data is central, you may be missing opportunities or falling behind your competitors.
​
Loblolly Technologies can help.
DATA STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT
Your Challenge
You want to move toward being a more data informed organization and to rigorously measure performance against critical objectives, but it’s not happening,
Maybe you aren’t sure where to start.
Perhaps you don’t have the in-house skills or bandwidth to undertake the analysis and planning required, or to implement data strategies.
Possibly you need help to build a business case for the investment required.
Our Solution
Starting with a process to crystallize and prioritize the critical questions that you need answered, we define an ideal state for your organization.
We assess your current data, tools and capabilities and create a roadmap to get to the desired state. This may include:
-
data acquisition
-
cleansing and enrichement
-
storage and management
-
governance
-
analysis and interpretation
-
action
​
We can also manage the implementation of projects on the roadmap, source pre-built or custom technology solutions or guide your in-house team as they implement the vision.
DATA AND SYSTEM ASSESSMENTS
Your Challenge
You’re pretty clear on what you want out of your data but it’s not working well
​
Maybe the data insights aren’t consistent or believable, or don’t answer the questions fully.
Perhaps the timeliness or ease of use isn’t what it needs to be for meaningful action to be taken.
Maybe the team doesn’t have the tools or understanding to effectively make use of insights.
Our Solution
We listen to your staff, identify what’s working with your data use, and what’s falling short, and assess what is standing in the way of success.
We identify the barriers to achieving your goals and recommend solutions to remove them.
We can manage the implementation of solutions, or guide your in-house team as they implement the solutions.
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Your Challenge
You know what systems need to be changed or upgraded but you need help running these projects.
Perhaps you need to get into a new technology such as machine learning or cloud hosting and don’t yet have deep expertise in those technologies.
Maybe you want to assess the market for the better solutions, but your team doesn’t have time to take it on.
Our Solution
We clarify scope and successful business outcomes from the project and develop an implementation approach.
Collaboratively with your internal stakeholders, we manage the sourcing (including custom development if needed) and implementation of the project.
We conduct a careful rollout, including training, to leave you with a usable system that delivers the results you need.

Loblolly Technologies combines a deep understanding of business strategy with knowledge of current tools and technologies to bring you a solution that will yield tangible results.
