Our Services
Five by Five works across the full lifecycle of a data practice — from platform architecture and technology implementation through to governance, training, and the internal standards that make analytics sustainable.
Architecture that scales with your business
Data Analytics Platform Design
Five by Five designs data platforms that become the reliable foundation a business depends on — not a prototype that needs replacing in two years. From assessing source systems to defining the physical architecture, we approach every engagement with the production constraint in mind: the platform needs to support analysts today and scale to new requirements tomorrow. We have delivered greenfield data platforms across retail, advertising, finance, and healthcare, as well as migrations from legacy infrastructure to modern cloud environments.
Modern platforms, properly implemented
Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake & Power BI
Our practitioners work hands-on with Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, and Power BI as primary platforms — not as generalists who cover everything, but as specialists who know these tools at depth. We have delivered Fabric Semantic Models, Snowflake Data Warehouses, and Power BI estates across organisations of varying scale and complexity. Implementation work ranges from net-new builds to migrations, including re-platforming from Qlikview, legacy SSAS cubes, and on-premise SQL Server environments.
Building capability that stays in the organisation
Team Technical Training & Practice Development
Data teams improve when they have clear standards, capable tools, and an understanding of why the architecture is designed the way it is. We work alongside internal teams to establish naming conventions, modelling patterns, and development practices that teams can sustain after the engagement ends. This takes the form of structured workshops, pairing on active development, and documentation that is actually used. The goal is a team that makes better decisions independently — not one that depends on a consultant to answer every question.
Targeted coaching for data professionals at every stage
Career Coaching & Individual Development
We work directly with individuals who are building or advancing a career in data — whether that means transitioning into the field, deepening technical skills in a specific platform, or preparing for a more senior role. Coaching is available as structured 1:1 sessions or in small groups, and is tailored to where you are and where you want to go. Engagements typically cover technical skill development, career path planning, portfolio and project work, and the practical side of working effectively in data teams.
A shared language for your data
Data Governance & Taxonomy
A semantic model is only as useful as the definitions behind it. We help organisations establish the vocabulary — agreed concept names, measure definitions, attribute hierarchies — that makes reports trustworthy and self-service analytics possible. Without that foundation, every report is a negotiation and every number is suspect. Our governance work includes data catalogue design, measure naming conventions, display folder structure, and the documentation that connects business logic to the technical implementation in a way that survives staff turnover.
