Who we are

We help mid- to large-sized enterprises optimize business value through leading-edge data management technologies and data governance practices

DataCatalyst helps mid to large global enterprises attain data clarity through robust data management strategy. We successfully implement Master Data Management, PIM and PXM solutions in complex business environments where other firms fail.

Our business-first approach and proprietary methodology helps our lean teams of veteran experts collaborate with clients for a 100% project success rate.​

Lean, elite, fast-moving teams

We’ve assembled a team of over 150 associates with an average of over 15 years experience in the fields of data management, data governance and data monetization.

Our team includes some of the original architects and engineers of leading commercial Master Data Management and Data Governance platforms, including Informatica’s MDM, Reltio MDM, and Collibra.

We deploy small, highly effective SWAT teams of seasoned experts for each engagement, rather than the substantially larger teams typical of our competitors.

By focusing on experienced professionals rather than recent graduates or order takers, we eliminate the “learning curve” that other firms often conduct at a client’s expense.

We succeed where others fail​

Our work is driven by software engineering principles. We build to a minimum viable product (MVP) using our proprietary Accelerate methodology, which has been refined through hundreds of successful implementations.

This approach has yielded a 100% success rate across all our projects.

We emphasize:

  • Business-driven (not technology-driven) solutions;
  • Long-term relationships over short-term transactions;
  • Purpose-built teams for each engagement;
  • Speed and efficiency in implementation;
  • Driving solutions, not just executing tasks;
  • Questioning assumptions, not just accepting them.

We’re often brought in to ‘Rescue & Resuscitate’ MDM implementations that have gone off track, steering projects back to business value through a structured diagnostic and remediation process.

Efficient

Through our working style, we aim to bring order to chaotic environments, coming prepared to each encounter to make the best use of collaboration time, and using precise terminology instead of confusing buzzwords.

Collaborative

We run on a flat structure with minimal hierarchy so that our SWAT teams of hand-picked, specialized experts operate with autonomy. This frees them to welcome new ideas and think innovatively.

Data-driven

The qualities of precision, focus, and clarity are required for working with data, but they also run through our entire approach. Through each engagement, we bring transparency, accuracy, and accountability at the most granular level of detail.

Logical

We bring software engineering principles – collaboration, user focus, releasing value quickly – to every project to implement solutions that solve real business problems. “That makes sense” is a phrase you’ll hear – and find yourself saying – a lot.

Our culture drives excellence

At DataCatalyst, we prioritize:

  • Integrity, commitment, and discretion;
  • Productive disagreement;
  • Succinct and direct communication;
  • Respectful interactions;
  • Bilateral fairness;
  • Entrepreneurial, opportunistic mindset with a willingness to take risks;
  • Comfort with minimally viable solutions and pursuing the unknown;
  • Building long-term relationships, both internally and externally.

Our reach is global

We operate entirely without physical offices, allowing us to attract the very best talent from around the world. Our team spans multiple time zones and we maintain a consistent presence in multiple regions including North America, United Kingdom, and Europe.

This distribution mirrors the global nature of our enterprise clients and allows us to provide continuous support regardless of location.
