Data con­sult­ing

Our con­sul­tants are expe­ri­enced, insight­ful, and bold – they help you under­stand the cur­rent state of your orga­ni­za­tion from out­side the box and cre­ate a con­crete road map to nav­i­gate towards goals. For years our team has been pro­duc­ing data con­sult­ing ser­vices for the largest com­pa­nies, SMEs and sev­er­al pub­lic sec­tor organ­i­sa­tions in Finland.

We bring you an expert insight and assess­ment of the cur­rent state, we can per­form a health check (or audit) on your cur­rent solu­tions, sub­mit a con­crete plan for mov­ing to the cloud with cost esti­mates, define the tar­get sta­tus of your organ­i­sa­tion’s knowl­edge man­age­ment, or cre­ate a com­pre­hen­sive data strat­e­gy to sup­port development.

At the core of our data con­sult­ing ser­vices are con­crete­ness and tech­nol­o­gy inde­pen­dence. We are not mes­sen­gers of any sin­gle tech­nol­o­gy, nor do we leave our work to an abstract lev­el or present over­ly detailed tech­ni­cal non­sense. We take into account the big pic­ture, while not for­get­ting the essen­tial nuances, and pro­duce you fea­si­ble plans, roadmaps and con­tent def­i­n­i­tions with pro­fes­sion­al­ism and experience.

We are tech­nol­o­gy and prod­uct inde­pen­dent, so you can count on the fact that there is no hid­den agen­da behind our ideas and sug­ges­tions. As a result of years of work, we have been refined our ready method­olo­gies, mate­r­i­al bases and tools that enable straight­for­ward and cost-effec­tive assignments.

Our data con­sult­ing ser­vices have a 100% sat­is­fac­tion guar­an­tee, the price is typ­i­cal­ly fixed and the assign­ment is invoiced only after the approved delivery.

Data strat­e­gy

A typ­i­cal goal of a strat­e­gy project is to cre­ate a data strat­e­gy or analytics/​BI strat­e­gy for the client. The strat­e­gy includes an analy­sis of the cur­rent state, a con­crete descrip­tion of the tar­get state, a plan to achieve it, essen­tial alter­na­tive tech­nol­o­gy sce­nar­ios com­pared, archi­tec­tur­al descrip­tions and a roadmap/​projection. The strat­e­gy takes a stand not only on archi­tec­ture and tech­ni­cal solu­tions, but also on organ­i­sa­tion­al struc­ture, as well as operations/​processes. In addi­tion, devel­op­ing the cus­tomer’s ser­vices can be viewed using data.

Health check

In the health check (audit), we will review your cur­rent solu­tion from dif­fer­ent per­spec­tives. The end result will be a con­crete list of pro­posed mod­i­fi­ca­tions and repairs relat­ed to the dif­fer­ent areas of the solution.

Res­cue service

Res­cue ser­vices are called in when the sit­u­a­tion is unclear, or your devel­op­ment project has already hit the rocks. We quick­ly make a res­cue plan to cor­rect the course, includ­ing a con­crete action plan, sched­ul­ing, pro­jec­tion and cost estimate.

Tech­nol­o­gy evaluation

Tech­nol­o­gy eval­u­a­tion can include the entire data plat­form solu­tion or one part of it, such as an analytics/​visualization solu­tion. Typ­i­cal­ly, the ser­vice is used to deter­mine what would be the best tool or tech­nol­o­gy sce­nario for your orga­ni­za­tion. The ser­vice cre­ates a con­crete com­par­i­son with a score and empha­sis on the essen­tials for the client. The final report enables either pilot­ing / Proof-of-Con­cept project to start with spe­cif­ic tech­nolo­gies, or to make the tech­nol­o­gy deci­sion and start development.

In addi­tion to these, we deliv­er var­i­ous cus­tomized assignments.

Pre-Pack­aged services

Islet offers cus­tomers pack­aged ser­vices for the most basic con­sult­ing assign­ments, as well as for speed­ing up the imple­men­ta­tion of solu­tions. Pack­aged ser­vices are avail­able to cus­tomers at a fixed price, but also ful­ly cus­tomiz­able on a case-by-case basis.

PACK­AGED SERVICES:

Data and ana­lyt­ics services

Our ser­vices include design­ing and imple­ment­ing the entire ana­lyt­ics solu­tion, from inte­gra­tions to data plat­form, as well as ana­lyt­ics and visu­al­iza­tions. We pro­duce smooth sys­tem inte­gra­tions with pop­u­lar tools and tech­nolo­gies, design and imple­ment data plat­forms and repos­i­to­ry that serve as a strong bedrock for knowl­edge man­age­ment and enable the devel­op­ment of inno­v­a­tive busi­ness solu­tions. From con­cept mod­el­ling to raw tech­ni­cal imple­men­ta­tion work.

Trans­fer­ring and stor­ing data nev­er brings val­ue as such, but you need to use mod­ern tools to cre­ate visu­al expe­ri­ences, whether they are com­pre­hen­sive solu­tions for dif­fer­ent user groups or roles, dif­fer­ent dash­boards relat­ed to themes, or indi­vid­ual reports. We imple­ment solu­tions with lead­ing tech­nolo­gies such as Microsoft, Aecor­soft, Snowflake, Data­bricks, ADE, AWS, DBT, Qlik, Tableau and SAP

We offer com­pre­hen­sive data and ana­lyt­ics ser­vices using state-of-the-art tools like the Microsoft Pow­er Plat­form and Pow­er BI. Microsoft Pow­er Plat­form is a robust suite of busi­ness appli­ca­tions that allows users to ana­lyze data, auto­mate process­es, cre­ate vir­tu­al agents, and build solu­tions that solve real busi­ness prob­lems. It’s a game-chang­er for busi­ness­es look­ing to dig­i­tize their oper­a­tions and gain valu­able insights from their data.

Pow­er BI, part of the Microsoft Pow­er Plat­form, is a busi­ness ana­lyt­ics tool offer­ing insights for swift, informed deci­sions. It enables users to cre­ate their own reports and dash­boards through inter­ac­tive visu­al­iza­tions, pro­mot­ing a self-ser­vice approach to busi­ness intel­li­gence. This empow­ers all deci­sion-mak­ers to uti­lize data for strate­gic choic­es, cul­ti­vat­ing a data-dri­ven busi­ness culture.

Recent­ly Microsoft released a new SaaS-based ana­lyt­ics plat­form called Microsoft Fab­ric. Under the same SaaS ser­vice, you can now find every­thing relat­ed to data and ana­lyt­ics needs from data inte­gra­tion to its mod­i­fi­ca­tion, stor­age, and report­ing, as well as machine learn­ing and AI tools. At Islet, we have been imple­ment­ing Data Lake­house archi­tec­tures for a long time instead of tra­di­tion­al data ware­hous­es. We have devel­oped gener­ic, repeat­able mod­els and libraries for the effi­cient imple­men­ta­tion of the Medal­lion archi­tec­ture and use Delta Lake as the data stor­age for­mat. Microsoft Fab­ric brings many new pos­si­bil­i­ties and fea­tures for build­ing the data plat­form and uti­liz­ing data. Read our blog about Fabric.

Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence (AI)

Islet’s Enter­prise AI ser­vices empow­er orga­ni­za­tions to har­ness advanced arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence capa­bil­i­ties, boost­ing effi­cien­cy, pro­duc­tiv­i­ty, and inno­va­tion across all lev­els of oper­a­tion. Our expert con­sult­ing approach empha­sizes data secu­ri­ty and pri­va­cy, deliv­er­ing strict­ly secure solu­tions — often deployed in the client’s own envi­ron­ment — and ensur­ing com­pli­ance with rel­e­vant reg­u­la­tions such as the EU AI Act. We believe that every suc­cess­ful AI solu­tion starts with high-qual­i­ty data and is typ­i­cal­ly part of a broad­er data trans­for­ma­tion journey.

AI Advi­so­ry & strategy

Our ser­vices extend beyond tech­ni­cal solu­tions, offer­ing com­pre­hen­sive AI guid­ance and strat­e­gy devel­op­ment. We part­ner with clients to define AI visions, devel­op roadmaps, and pro­vide ongo­ing spar­ring to ensure the full poten­tial of AI is real­ized. Whether it’s estab­lish­ing best prac­tices, shap­ing AI gov­er­nance, or nav­i­gat­ing reg­u­la­to­ry require­ments, our exper­tise helps orga­ni­za­tions con­fi­dent­ly adopt and scale AI initiatives.

Chat with data (Inter­ac­tive data)

We devel­op AI-dri­ven chat­bots and inter­ac­tive data solu­tions that incor­po­rate Data Agents and AI Agents capa­ble of exe­cut­ing var­i­ous tasks and inte­grat­ing with mul­ti­ple tools. Users can intu­itive­ly engage with orga­ni­za­tion­al data through nat­ur­al lan­guage inter­ac­tions — writ­ten or spo­ken — on famil­iar plat­forms like Microsoft Teams or Slack. Whether retriev­ing data from ERPs, Azure AI Search, or SQL/Python-based sys­tems, our ser­vices enable real-time, bidi­rec­tion­al data inter­ac­tions and sup­port work­flow automa­tion. Data Agents can also be con­fig­ured to gath­er insights from dis­parate sources, han­dle iter­a­tive queries, and proac­tive­ly sug­gest actions to enable effi­cient, data-dri­ven decision-making.

AI-Enhanced deci­sion support

Lever­ag­ing Machine Learn­ing (ML) and advanced ana­lyt­ics, we sup­port pre­cise fore­cast­ing, sim­u­la­tions, and sce­nario plan­ning for proac­tive, data-dri­ven deci­sion-mak­ing. By cou­pling Data Agents with real-time dash­boards and adap­tive ML mod­els, we enhance risk man­age­ment, opti­mize resource allo­ca­tion, and deliv­er detailed cost analy­ses, enabling orga­ni­za­tions to make time­ly and informed strate­gic decisions.

Doc­u­ment and con­tent automation

Our con­sult­ing ser­vices auto­mate doc­u­ment han­dling through intel­li­gent extrac­tion, clas­si­fi­ca­tion, and pro­cess­ing of diverse infor­ma­tion sources, includ­ing PDFs, emails, Word doc­u­ments, and speech-to-text inputs. By har­ness­ing AI, we gen­er­ate auto­mat­ed sum­maries, struc­tured action­able data, and per­son­al­ized, mul­ti­lin­gual con­tent tai­lored to var­i­ous audi­ences and channels.

Work­flow automa­tion and integration

We expert­ly inte­grate AI-dri­ven robot­ic process automa­tion (RPA) and sophis­ti­cat­ed API solu­tions with­in ERP, CRM, and data ware­house envi­ron­ments, sim­pli­fy­ing data enrich­ment, trans­for­ma­tion, and work­flow process­es. By lever­ag­ing plat­forms like Pow­er Plat­form and Copi­lot Stu­dio, we enable proac­tive, event-dri­ven automa­tion and mon­i­tor­ing that con­tin­u­al­ly opti­mizes per­for­mance and productivity.

Cus­tomer and per­son­al pro­duc­tiv­i­ty tools

Islet’s AI exper­tise sup­ports enhanced cus­tomer expe­ri­ences with sen­ti­ment analy­sis, per­son­al­ized rec­om­men­da­tions, and sophis­ti­cat­ed feed­back ana­lyt­ics, incor­po­rat­ing speech-to-text tech­nol­o­gy. Addi­tion­al­ly, our per­son­al AI assis­tants deliv­er con­text-aware ana­lyt­ics, proac­tive alerts, and tai­lored insights — ampli­fy­ing both cus­tomer engage­ment and employ­ee productivity.
