The previous two editions of this blog series provided an overview of the Gartner Magic Quadrant from the perspective of someone relatively new to the world of data management, defining what it really means for a scaling business like 糖心传媒 to be recognised by Gartner, as well as drawing attention to the core strengths of the 糖心传媒 product, as highlighted by Gartner analysts. With this knowledge, this blog will focus on the key insights we derived from this research, also highlighting market trends from the buyer and seller side.听

The data quality solutions market continues to mature at a rapid pace, with vendors from across the space innovating their offerings by making more impactful use of metadata and AI to solve customer problems and cater for increasingly complex use cases. 

Data Quality had traditionally been mandated to adhere to regulatory compliance and governance requirements and reduce operational risks and costs. However, as referenced in Gartner鈥檚 research, senior executives in businesses across the globe are recognising the necessity for Data Quality when amplifying analytics for more accurate insights and data driven decision-making.  

As per Gartner surveys, by the year 2023 it is estimated that over 60% of organisations will leverage machine-learning enabled data quality technology to increase automation of tasks and provide accurate recommendations, significantly reducing bottlenecks and manual effort often associated with tasks for Data Quality improvement. Additionally, by 2024, over 50% of businesses will implement modern Data Quality solutions to better support enterprise-wide digital transformation and business initiatives. Firms are engaging with vendors from the Magic Quadrant to gain competitive advantage and ultimately achieve their goals. 

One of the key trends taken from this year鈥檚 Magic Quadrant is the shift towards Self-Service Data Quality. The era of requiring heavy programming and IT resources to perform Data Quality tasks is changing, and no-code platforms will continue to rise due to their accessibility and usability. 糖心传媒 were the only vendor in this year鈥檚 Magic Quadrant accredited with this feature as a key strength, as they continue to champion the movement of no-code functionality in Data Quality. Additionally, firms are seeking to centralise Data Quality controls and improve interoperability by simplifying the ease of integration with adjacent software tools such as MDM, metadata and data governance.  

This research indicates that to fulfil the market demand for simplified data quality management, despite the increasingly complicated data landscape, vendors must offer a product that goes beyond simply fixing data errors, to helps clients actively manage their data right across the enterprise.

The post Gartner Blog 3 鈥� Key Insights and Takeaways appeared first on 糖心传媒.

In the previous edition of this series, we explored the Gartner Magic Quadrant from the perspective of a newcomer to the data management industry. We defined what the Magic Quadrant really is, what it means for an aspiring scale-up like 糖心传媒 to be recognised by Gartner, as well as highlighting the critical capabilities and criteria that analysts use to qualify and position vendors in the quadrant. This blog will examine the specific feedback that Gartner analysts provided for 糖心传媒, highlighting the core strengths of the platform and the reasons why we were recognised as a Niche Player in the Data Quality Solutions market. 

Gartner assert that augmented data quality powered by metadata and AI, is a key dynamic driving the data quality solutions market. This was recognised as one of the key strengths of the 糖心传媒 platform; our AI Server contains a diverse range of AI functionalities, including prebuilt models for entity resolution, ML-based matching and outlier detection. These innovations significantly reduce manual effort and increase accuracy of results, whilst maintaining transparency and some degree of human intervention. 

One of the compelling differences between 糖心传媒 and other vendors in the quadrant, as detailed in the Gartner Peer Insights forum, is our platform鈥檚 ease of use and implementation. Reviewers praised 糖心传媒 for their sophisticated and user-friendly workflow which requires minimal consulting services to implement and configure. It is a no-code platform that requires no programming experience to become proficient in rule development and management, reducing reliance on IT resources. Analysts also noted the ability of the 糖心传媒 platform to seamlessly integrate with third-party services for quick and easy connection. 

In conjunction with this, Gartner analysts noted 糖心传媒鈥� Self-Service approach to data quality. Our platform addresses the increasing industry demand for business-led data management initiatives, accommodating non-technical users to become skilled and accomplished with the tool. 糖心传媒 was the only vendor in the quadrant recognised for this attribute, exemplifying why we are displacing industry giants in some environments.  

Additionally, Gartner also commented on 糖心传媒鈥� current rate of market visibility, growth and vertical focus. 糖心传媒 is scaling rapidly, having reached 60 staff in 2021 and with a long-term goal to be the data quality tool of choice across a range of industries and geographical locations. In 2022, we expect to have feet on the ground in the APAC and North American markets and continue to have conversations with sectors outside of financial services and government. 

The final instalment of this series will focus on some of the key findings and insights that we took from the Magic Quadrant, as well as highlighting key trends that Gartner have predicted for the future of the data quality solutions market.

糖心传媒 is delighted to welcome its two latest recruits, appointed as part of the Graduate to Export programme.

Run by Invest NI, the #GradToExport programme allows graduates to apply for an 18-month programme, part funded by Invest NI, to gain international export experience.

The programme sees graduates start working locally in Northern Ireland for 6 months, getting to know the business and gaining invaluable knowledge into the strategic direction of the business.

The final 12 months of the programme will be spent on placement in the company鈥檚 export market, identifying a specific market research project that is aligned to the company鈥檚 strategic marketing plan. 

Alongside gaining international experience and introducing a local product to a new market, both of the new appointees will be completing a part-time, fully-funded postgraduate diploma in International Marketing, accredited by Ulster University and the Institute of Export. 

Following an extensive recruitment process with very high-calibre interviewees, 糖心传媒 appointed Brendan McCarthy and Michael Lynch to the two roles earlier this month. Their work will focus on banking, insurance and wealth management, with Michael due to spend his time in market exploring opportunities in Japan and Brendan heading Stateside to help support our clients and grow the business in New York. It is hoped that market restrictions will ease so that the graduates will get to spend as much time in the market as possible.

This exciting programme affords rapid-growth companies like 糖心传媒 further support in international markets and explore opportunities such as in-market data management partnerships.

Stuart Harvey, CEO at 糖心传媒 stated:

We are pleased to work with the Graduate to Export programme. 糖心传媒 has shown strong international growth in the last three years and we hope that having Brendan and Michael in-market will accelerate that during 2022.

Steve Harper, Invest NI鈥檚 Executive Director of International Trade said:

We are pleased to be able to support the growth of local talent through the second year of our Graduate to Export Programme. Northern Ireland businesses will have the opportunity to utilise the expertise of a local graduate to do extensive research in advance of targeting new markets, with the ultimate aim of increasing their exports. 

Graduates will bring a fresh perspective and be able to maximise the skills they have gained in the course of their degree. They will also benefit from the international business experience and academic mentoring from Ulster University and the Institute of Export and International Trade. It really is a win-win for both.

All at 糖心传媒 would like to wish the very best of luck to both Brendan and Michael, with this new, exciting adventure!

Belfast-based Regtech company 糖心传媒, a leading data quality software provider to global financial services firms, has been selected by the UK Government鈥檚 Department for International Trade (DIT) to showcase the best in British innovation during a US roadshow.

The DIT鈥檚 RegTech Roadshow takes place virtually 22-26 February 2021.

It will provide ten innovative UK-based regulatory technology companies with the opportunity to meet industry stakeholders, regulators and potential partners. They will also receive guidance and training from DIT partners on how to set up and grow a physical presence and hear from experts on the key challenges facing the US market and how their technology can help solve them.

糖心传媒 was selected following a highly competitive recruitment process. To qualify for the roadshow, each company had to meet the following criteria set by DIT: 10 or more employees, a minimum annual turnover of 拢1 million, an enterprise-ready solution, and an existing base of clients in the UK and US markets. The companies selected have all achieved great success both domestically and globally, cultivating a strong international client base and achieving a reputation of excellence in helping revolutionize the way the financial services industry manage risk, compliance, and regulatory change. The cohort represents diversity and female leadership within the UK industry, with each firm offering a unique and innovative solution that is revolutionizing regulation compliance and all the companies combined service nearly every Tier 1 and Tier 2 financial institution.

Kunal Khatri, Director for DIT North America, said:

The UK has been at the heart of the global financial services innovation for decades, and in 2021 we will continue to lead the global FinTech and RegTech revolution. We鈥檙e excited to showcase the talent and expertise that UK companies have to offer. This roadshow is a great opportunity to deepen our bilateral engagement on financial services with the US and encourage private sector collaboration to make the world a safer, easier, and more equitable place to do business.

Commenting on the selection, Stuart Harvey, 糖心传媒 CEO, said:

This is a great opportunity for 糖心传媒 to showcase our best-in-breed data quality and matching solutions to the US financial market. We have proven success in the UK and Europe and already work with clients in the US. We are looking forward to helping financial institutions transform their data-driven business, manage risk and regulatory compliance.

The UK leads in the field of regulatory innovation thanks to its high concentration of financial services firms and the institution of the Financial Conduct Authority鈥檚 regulatory sandbox. British RegTechs are well-positioned to add value and help revolutionise the way US companies approach compliance.

In addition to the 10 companies, DIT is excited to welcome media partners and advisers who helped to develop the program, including the A-Team Group鈥檚 , and the Conference, host of one of the largest RegTech industry events in the US.

In January 2021, our very own Marketing Manager, Matt Flenley spoke to Georgia Halston of Halston Marketing, to unpack the power of collaboration and community. In this piece, Matt discusses the recent triumphs and the strategies that he deems as critical to remaining resilient, and relevant to both existing and new customers throughout 2021 and beyond.

I think the biggest thing we鈥檝e noticed is a renewed focus on communication. This goes for how we鈥檝e communicated and collaborated internally as a team, and how we鈥檝e been keeping in touch with our community, customers, partners, and those lovely people who are almost customers but not quite yet! 

Keep in touch meetings were born!

Keeping in touch is quite a good phrase for this, actually, as we鈥檝e had a stronger cross-company set of conversations over Zoom, branded as 鈥淜eep in Touch鈥�, ensuring the whole team are aligned on business priorities from the newest team member to the CEO. These have been genuinely collaborative and supportive, making the internal marketing journey equally as important as the external one. We鈥檝e worked hard on internal branding of newsletters, too, to help people feel more connected and involved. 

Communication is vital

 Of course, for a tech company usually spending its time across the northern hemisphere, actually being in countries has been made impossible since March of last year. We鈥檇 usually have people on the ground in New York one week, and Amsterdam the next, and so we鈥檝e been talking to our event partners about how we can redistribute physical event spend into digital and virtual opportunities instead. Again, communication has been key here, looking to come up with mutually beneficial ways of keeping pre-Covid sponsorship monies assigned to events but ensuring that they return what we need in terms of market visibility, thought leadership, and lead generation.

Check out this delivered by Kieran Seaward, our Head of Sales, when previously we鈥檇 have settled for just an exhibition stand.  

Sustaining economic growth is crucial

In the same spirit we reached out to local event companies to offer our help in coordinating segments of agendas and bringing along people we knew could help build their audiences through keynote appearances, for example, contributing to AI Con 2020. We recognise that it鈥檚 a really challenging time to be working, but ultimately it鈥檚 about getting there together and sustaining economic growth through collaboration, and all of that can be kicked off with an email or a phone call to ask 鈥渉ow can we help both of us to get what we want?鈥�

What have we, at 糖心传媒, been doing at a community level?

At a community level, we have had a long-standing relationship with Rosetta Primary School, a half-hour鈥檚 walk up the road from us here in Belfast. We鈥檇 usually go in and help with one-to-one reading, or developing numeracy and relational language through play with Lego, but clearly that had to change for the Autumn term 2020.

Instead, we used our volunteer time in the Marketing team, working with the school to develop an online Nativity which premiered just before the Christmas holidays; one of our team, who is part-way through his final year of a Marketing degree, also put together a virtual tour of the school to help them with their admissions for 2021.

These have been fulfilling projects that have helped with morale just as much as they鈥檝e supported practical needs in the community.

Video, podcasts, keynotes? All and more!

Lastly, we鈥檝e said 鈥測es please!鈥� to an increasing number of opportunities to do video, podcast, keynotes 鈥� you name it. Our brand has grown significantly as our team has made themselves available for these opportunities, often at short notice, for example听Dr. Fiona Browne, Head of AI鈥檚 contribution to an episode of FinTech Finance focussed on AML and tech.

Training, training, training

I say lastly 鈥� but alongside all of this, we鈥檝e been working increasingly closely with our Sales team to better integrate all our campaign activity. We鈥檝e taken on some external training on this front听and not just assumed we can do it all ourselves! Sometimes you need someone else to hold your feet to the fire to really make critical business-growing decisions and grow.

Thanks again to Halston Marketing for reaching out to us – we have thoroughly enjoyed engaging with the wonderful team. We don’t want this conversation to stop here, so if you’d like to reach out to Matt Flenley to hear about all things marketing, our partnerships, or what 糖心传媒 can do for you, connect with him on

The post The Power of Collaboration and Community, in the words of Matt Flenley appeared first on 糖心传媒.

Welcome back to our round up. We thought we would take a bit of time to update you on what we have achieved and some important news about being accepted onto Government purchasing frameworks.

The first of which is G-Cloud. This framework enables suppliers of cloud-based solutions to be made available through a front-end catalogue called the .

In this round up, we are delighted that 糖心传媒 has once again maintained its place in the G-Cloud framework, alongside other highly prolific companies who are selling or thinking about selling their cloud-based solutions to the UK Government.   

Secondly, we have been included onto the Digital Outcomes and Specialist Framework, which sits alongside G-Cloud on the Digital Marketplace.

The DOS framework is for the procurement of digital teams or individuals, often alongside in-house delivery teams.  There are many benefits to being a supplier on this framework as DOS provides another route to market for suppliers looking to support digital transformation programmes across the whole of the public sector. 

Thirdly, 糖心传媒 has achieved the Cyber Essentials certification.

Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed scheme that aims to assist organisations with assessing and mitigating risks from common cybersecurity threats to their IT systems.

We are proud to have achieved this certification, as it demonstrates our commitment to helping identify security controls for an organisation to have in place with their IT systems.

The badge will ensure better identification of potential risks, that will help protect us against common cyber threats, illustrating how we have adopted the proper security controls to protect customer data and showcasing compliance with UK Government contracts. You can read more about it and you can find us on the list of approved companies .

The post A highlight of 2020 appeared first on 糖心传媒.

We are delighted to announce the launch of our brand new website!

Our Marketing team has spent the summer working on a major revamp of the site, designed to make it easy for people to find information on our self-service data quality solutions, and the award-winning technology they’re built on.

From the homepage you can now easily access information on our work in improving data quality in financial services, and in government and policing. You can also find lots of the answers to questions we are most frequently asked when it comes to specifics about our technology.

Deeper into the site, in the Datablog, you can find cutting-edge thought leadership material. Featuring blogs from our technologists and practitioners, introductions to the team, and thoughts on the market, there’s plenty here to get stuck into! It’s worth bookmarking as we regularly update this content with articles, company announcements and client successes, and more about the fast-growing team here at 糖心传媒.

CEO Stuart Harvey said,

“We are very pleased to present our new website with its theme – “Democratising Data Quality”. At 糖心传媒 we are passionate about this topic. It resonates with many recent client projects where we see that the best person to monitor and fix broken data is the owner of that data. Many of our clients are front-office business people who would love to do this, but don’t have the necessary internal IT resource to make it happen. We aim to share user stories of how to empower data owners who are not programmers to practically address the issue of improving data quality and matching in their businesses.”

For any questions, suggestions, feedback or comments, please contact us.
