STEP 03
Diamond Data Analytics
A revolutionary Data warehousing solution that moves with your needs.
Feed your decision-making with understandable information
You know that data and AI can make a difference. But between ambition and results there is often a wall of technology, projects and choices. You don’t want years of costly processes, but better decisions today. Diamond DWH is our pragmatic data warehouse solution that delivers exactly that: a fully managed, adaptive platform that feeds your decision-making with correct, up-to-date and understandable information. Not more dashboards, but stronger decisions. And in a fraction of the cost and time of a traditional data warehouse project.
What you are up against now
In 20 years of practical experience, we have experienced how fragmented the data landscape is at many SME+ and nonprofit organizations. Perhaps you recognise the following:
Sources do not talk to each other
Definitions vary by team
Reports always lag behind reality
Realtime is a luxury, Excel is often still under the hotkey
Consultations take longer than necessary because no one is 100% sure which figures are correct
You feel there is gold in your data, but mining it seems complex, expensive and risky
The three biggest stumbling blocks of traditional data warehousing
A logical step for many companies running into the above is to set up a Data warehousing structure. However, there are 3 major stumbling blocks that stand in the way of successful implementation. Or indeed, that make a DWH feel like an unfeasible investment for SMEs and non-profits:
1
A substantial investment with a long lead time
2
ROI is unclear and not guaranteed
3
Maintenance is time and cost intensive
The breakthrough: decision-first data warehousing
Diamond DWH reverses traditional thinking. Instead of building a huge system first and then hoping it is useful, we start with your critical decisions.
We quickly build a prototype that directly answers your most important questions. Working, testable, adaptable. Our sprint-based approach gets you live with your first insights as early as week 4.
Last but not least, it costs you significantly less. No waiting months for a heavy implementation, no doubting ROI. You see and feel the value immediately.
Our promise to you
You get a partner who thinks with you. We’ll take you on a journey where technology and business management embrace each other. No black-box systems, no hidden costs, no disappointment. Just clarity, speed and impact.
Why Diamond DWH works
Up to 75% savings
The platform automates almost all the repetitive data engineering work in DWH construction.
Cloud-agnostic
We run on any cloud, anywhere. Azure, Google Cloud or AWS.
Automatic star models
Automatically generated star models (facts/dimensions) and automatic history building.
Privacy by Design
ISO en AVG standaarden worden nageleefd. Jouw data is veilig.
Adaptive platform
Quickly modify, test and add data processing without refactor misery.
AI-ready foundation
A strong foundation for AI applications stands ready.
Studies show that 80-90% of all data in organizations is not actively used (dark data). Diamond DWH brings that gold into focus and makes it accessible.
The impact of Diamond DWH
Complexity is a thing of the past. We make sure that whatever decision you make can be backed up with data at any time. It can be that simple.
Confidence in conversation
Teams confidently engage in conversations about the things that actually count, rather than the numbers themselves.
Conversation starters
Reports are no longer static viewing boxes, but active conversation starters with one version of the truth.
Exact choices
Teams see exactly what choice they are taking when, at what signal, for what purpose and what the impact is.
Lightweight foundation
A foundation that easily updates data both real-time and batch and uncovers new connections.
In short, Diamond DWH is not just a technical solution. The result goes far beyond that. Expect more peace, speed and noticeable impact on turnover, quality and turnaround time.

Frequently asked questions
01
When do I need a DWH?
It depends on your goals and desire. But 1 thing is certain, if you want to do better tomorrow than today, some form of a DWH has become a necessity. In our methodology, we always start decision-first with the minimum data. As the scope grows, the platform scales with it. So no high upfront costs or risks. This makes our solution suitable for a wide range of companies.
A light-weight setup that can support some core decisions in the primary process in already sufficient for companies with a relatively low data flow and mainly want to focus on improving their business practices. Do you want to not just improve but actually innovate? Do you aspire to a market leader position? Or are you a company with large data streams? Then you can easily scale up to a complete DWH with our solution.
02
We already have a DWH…
Perhaps you are a multi-domain/country organization with heavy reporting and auditing requirements where broad, standardised coverage is required. Or you are already decision-adult and are mainly looking for consolidation/historical consistency.
Even then, Diamond Analysis adds value: we use your existing DWH as a source and put our decision engine on top of it. We prioritise decisions, label/evaluate. So it is not an either-or, but an and-and. Diamond DWH can be used both on its own and complementary.
03
Is Diamond DWH always cheaper?
Yes. With diamond DWH, not only is your investment lower, but also your risk. Your return, on the other hand, is higher. How? You shift budget from large upfront builds to small, fast-returning iterations. Is it not working? Then you stop or pivot without the sunk-cost of an entire model. With our subscription, you only purchase what you need and you are completely unburdened. But technology alone is not enough. With our coaching, we ensure that the DWH is actually used on the shop floor on a daily basis, resulting in genuinely better decisions at any scale, throughout the entire organization.
04
Is real-time mandatory?
Only when your decision needs it. diamondDWH® supports real-time as well as batch.
05
How soon will we be live?
Within four weeks, the platform supports your first decisions. After that, we iterate monthly.
06
What if our data quality is low?
We profile, validate and recover. The platform does not get stuck on lower quality; it helps improve it.
07
What about privacy and compliance?
Privacy-by-Design is standard. AVG/ISO principles, data minimisation, decision ledger, auditing and role-based access are built in.
08
Does this replace people?
No. Data supports people to make better choices. In our training and coaching, we safeguard oversight, context and the good conversation.
09
What if we don’t see results?
We work with explicit hypotheses and kill/keep moments. If something does not work, we stop or redeploy, with no sunk cost.
