Chloe O’Kane, Project Manager at Datactics, recently spoke at techUK’s Security and Public Safety SME Forum, which included a panel discussion featuring speakers from member companies of techUK’s National Security and JES programs. The forum provided an excellent opportunity to initiate conversations and planning for the future among its members.

Chloe O'Kane, Project Manager at Datactics

 

Read Chloe’s Q&A from the panel session, ‘Challenges and opportunities facing SMEs in the security and public safety sectors’, below:

What made you want to join the forum?

For starters, techUK is always a pleasure to work with – my colleagues and I at Datactics have several contacts at techUK that we speak with regularly and it’s clear that they care about the work they’re doing. It never feels like a courtesy call – you always come away with valuable actions to follow up on. Having had such positive experiences with techUK before, I felt encouraged to join the Security and Public Safety SME forum. Being a part of the Security and Public Safety SME Forum is exciting- you’re in a room full of like-minded people who want to make a difference. 

What are your main hopes and expectations from the forum?

I’ve previously participated in techUK events where senior stakeholders from government departments have led open and honest conversations about gaps in their knowledge. It’s refreshing to see them hold their hands up and say ‘We need help and we want to hear from SMEs’.

I think it would be great to see more of this in the Security and Public Safety SME forum, with people not being afraid to ask for help and demonstrating a desire to make a change.

What are, in your opinion, the main challenges faced by the SME community in the security and public safety sectors?

One of the challenges we face as SMEs is that we have to be deliberate about the work we do. We might see an opportunity that we know we’re a good fit for, but before we can commit, we need to think about it more than just ‘do we fit the technical criteria?’ We need to think about how it’s going to affect wider aspects of the company – Do we have sufficient staffing? Do they need security clearance? What is the delivery timeline?

If we aren’t being intentional, we risk disrupting our current way of working. We have a loyal and happy customer base and an excellent team of engineers, developers, and PMs to manage and support them, but even if a brilliant data quality deal lands on our desk, if it would take an army to deliver it, we may not be able to commit the same resources that a big consultancy firm can and, ultimately, we may have to pass on it.  

Moreover, our expertise lies specifically in data quality. As a leading DQ vendor, we excel in this area. However, if a project requires both data quality and additional data management services, we may not be the most suitable candidate, despite being the best at delivering the data quality component.

What are your top 3 areas of focus that the forum should address?

Ultimately, I think the goal of this forum should be steered by asking the question ‘How do we make people feel safe’?

A big challenge is always going to be striking the balance between tackling the issues that affect people’s safety, whilst navigating those bigger ‘headline’ stories that can have a lasting effect on the public. For instance, if you google ‘Is the UK a safe place to live?’, largely speaking the answers will say that ‘yes, the UK is a very safe place to live’. However, people’s perceptions don’t always align with that. I remember reading an article last year about how public trust in police has fallen to the lowest levels ever, so I think that would be a good place to start.  

From a member’s perspective though, more selfishly, I’d like to get the following out of the forum – 

  • Access to more SME opportunities 
  • Greater partnership opportunities 
  • More insights into procurement and access to the market 
In your opinion, why is networking and collaboration so important? Have you any success stories to share?


Our biggest success in networking and collaboration is having so many customers willing to endorse us and share our joint achievements.

We focus on understanding our customers, learning how they use our product, and listening to their likes and dislikes. This feedback shapes our roadmap and shows customers how much we value their input. This approach not only creates satisfied customers, but also turns them into advocates for our product. They mention us at conferences, in speeches, and in reference requests, and even help other customers with their data management strategies.

For us, networking is about more than just making new contacts; it’s about helping our customers connect and build relationships. Our customers’ advocacy is incredibly valuable because prospective customers like to hear success stories from them, perhaps more than salespeople.

CYBERUK 2023 in Belfast ICC

Meet Datactics at CYBERUK 2023 at the ICC in Belfast, right across from our own Head Quarters!

CYBERUK 2023 is UK’s flagship cyber security event run by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). The theme this year is securing an open and resilient digital future. We face unprecedented growth in digital and technological development. This will bring huge benefits to society, but it also has the potential to threaten the national and economic security interests of the UK and other free and open societies.

The event will look to answer some of the most challenging questions facing the international cyber community today:

• What will cyberspace be like in ten years’ time?
• Will we be able to secure it so it remains free, open and democratic?
• Will we have nurtured and grown the talent needed?
• Will we have innovated and built the technologies that underpin our values?
• Will we have predicted and mitigated the risks and vulnerabilities?
• Will we be resilient to the threats?

And what will our counterparts in the future say to us if we don’t act now?

CYBERUK will examine how today’s cyber ecosystem – a sector worth £10 billion to the UK economy – can strengthen, join together and innovate to resist the threats, be ready for the opportunities and keep the UK the safest place to live and work online.

CYBERUK has a reputation for its energy, world-class content, engaging speakers and opportunities to connect.

While applications are closed, you can still join the discussion and watch key sessions on CYBERUK ONLINE, the event’s dedicated YouTube channel.

On the 23rd June, Matt Flenley visited the UK Ambassador’s Residence in Brussels as part of a delegation of UK tech firms to Belgium. Here, he recounts his pitch on Smart Cities from the event:

Data at the Heart of Smart Cities Brussels 2022

Hello and thank you for inviting us to take part in this session today. I am here representing Datactics, a Belfast-based software and services company specialising in AI-enabled data quality solutions.

Our platform is measuring and improving data quality in major global financial firms including ING in the Netherlands; and Neuberger Berman in New York, as well as to automatically classify and standardise crime reporting throughout the UK’s police forces in a major nationwide data quality improvement programme.

As a firm in software, we know our coffee! And I know that Belgium does too. For instance, I read in my preparation that the Port of Antwerp is the world’s largest coffee handler, typically stocking enough coffee beans at any one time to make at least six cups for every human being on the planet. Or to keep Dave and our DevOps team going for about six months.

You might be like me, the kind of person who needs those six cups to really get the day going! In the UK, the coffee brand Costa ran a campaign recently to show the amazing things people had planned for later in their day… such as this guy, who was getting ready to show off his truly amazing new trousers… but first, they’d need a coffee. And that coffee would be Costa.

For us, it’s the same thing with smart cities and data. There are so many exciting initiatives in the Smart Cities ecosystem which are the equivalent of those fantastic gold trousers, but unless they’re built on good data, it’ll be like trying to start your day without a coffee. Definitely do your exciting initiatives, but first, Datactics.

This mission has been named “Data at the Heart of Smart Cities”, and this is why I’m delighted to have been invited to take part today.

The big dreams of smart cities need big data to be delivered. And performing analytics on that data requires a huge amount of standardisation and cleaning, a task often left to data scientists.

That’s why at Datactics we like to say – don’t build your smart city on dumb data!

Take for example the recent announcement of the Climate Neutrality project, an exciting venture for the four cities in Belgium selected by the European Commission. The ability to measure the reduction of CO2, mitigating factors and innovations applied to achieve climate neutrality will ultimately come down to a lot of data – across buildings, energy, transport, waste management and investment plans.

The Smart City organisers will have to be able to measure that the data is valid, complete, timely, unique or not duplicated, consistent and accurate. These are standard definitions of data quality that the Datactics platform is pre-configured to measure and report.

Our software connects, typically via API or JSON file, to a wide array of old data silos and systems as well as more modern platforms. We profile, cleanse, standardise and de-duplicate data, and measure it to those industry dimensions I mentioned before.

It’s all performed in a no-code environment, aimed to support non-coders, at data scientists rather than at coders, and integrates with dashboarding systems like Microsoft’s PowerBI to help business users understand where data is failing, how to fix it, and then connecting into our remediation clinic to fix the broken data elements.

Then through embedding AI in our platform, we can suggest rules that might apply to data elements based on what’s in the data itself.

The platform can handle data in any context, as long as it’s structured or semi-structured.

Typically, we’re installed within a client’s private cloud, rather than being offered as software-as-a-service. This is usually down to the type of data being collected and used and aiding compliance with data protection regulations.

In this instance, we would work with the municipal authorities to sit across the data stores and sources and provide a consistent, standardised view of all data enabling analytics, data preparation for AI and ML, for a wide range of smart cities use cases.

We’re already working in the UK public sector on crime reporting and in supply chain procurement for the National Health Service.

We’d welcome the opportunity to explore your smart city initiatives, and see how we can become your indispensable partner for your data quality and smart cities ambitions.

But first, Datactics.

Thank you.

Datactics Exhibit At Security And Policing 2022

Earlier this month we exhibited at Security and Policing 2022. The week began with our stand being led by Jackie Devine and Sean McConnell who were engaging in conversation around what our nationwide, private cloud-based system can do to help with crime classification and reporting. The week then concluded with representation from other members of the team Shauna Leonard, Alexandra Collins, and Paul Burns who chatted with attendees about our data quality and matching capabilities and the work we have done with the UK Police Forces over the past number of years.  
 
It was great to be present in person, especially after the past number of years. The event overall proved to be very productive, and we have spent the time since the event catching up with all the contacts we made there, exploring how we can work to support their data quality, data governance, and data management journey.  

We took some time to catch up with the team who attended to hear what they had to say about the event. 

“The S&P show was a super event – we met so many organisations with Data Quality problems who were interested in our offering and wanted to know more. Meeting in person was so much more worthwhile and there was a great buzz of activity at the venue.”

Jackie Devine, Public Sector Account Management

“As the official UK Government global security event, Security & Policing 2022 provided an insightful view into the steps that the Home Office and third-parties are taking towards improving our national security, supported by regional and local authorities. 

To successfully achieve the most appropriate deployment of resources and implementation of services, the highest levels of data quality are essential in order to provide reports and statistics which are accurate, timely and relevant. 

This is why the National Data Quality Improvement Service (NDQIS) plays a key role in providing police forces with the tools that they need to monitor key crime metrics and to identify potential areas of concern within their respective constabularies.”

Paul Burns, Senior Data Engineer

“It was interesting to talk with many different suppliers and to see the variety of products and services available to our preserve our national security. I found it fascinating to meet with other teams within the Home Office to identify ways the National Data Quality Improvement Service (NDQIS) can assist with data quality issues.”

Shauna Leonard, Senior Data Engineer

“It was interesting to see all of the different vendors I didn’t know existed and I enjoyed engaging with other vendors to understand how our product could fit their requirements/benefit their business needs.”

Alexandra Collins, Product Owner

“I am delighted to have been able to attend in person the 2022 Security & Policing event where it was great to engage with representatives from a wide spectrum of industries and government departments. The success that we and our policing colleagues have had with addressing data quality issues in crime data using the NDQIS resonated with attendees and we look forward to working closely with them to understand how Datactics can help achieve their data quality driven goals”

Sean McConnell, GovTech Client Success Lead

The event provided us with the opportunity to share our data quality tooling designed with people, entity and asset data automation in mind. With fresh collateral we were more than ready to articulate the key features of our nation-wide, private cloud-based system for crime classification and reporting. We are proud to announce that our work has also recently seen us recognised in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Solutions. We always appreciate an opportunity to showcase the capabilities of the product and how we differentiate from the traditional solutions in the market, particularly how we focus the solution to the business user. 

If you missed our stand and would like to know more about how Datactics has reduced the number of records needing manual review by nearly 80%, please reach out to Jackie Devine or Sean McConnell. They would be more than happy to engage with you further.

The coronavirus pandemic produced challenges not one of us could have expected. While some sense of normality is returning, many businesses still face an uphill battle to recover. Artificial Intelligence Technology, however, presents a solution for firms hoping to thrive once again. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used for predictive tasks from fraud detection through to medical analytics. A key component of AI is the underlying data. Data impacts predictions, scalability and fairness of AI systems. As we move towards data-centric AI, having good quality, fair, representative, reliable and complete data will provide firms with a strong foundation to undertake tasks such as decision making and knowledge to strengthen their competitive position. In fact, AI solutions can be used to improve data quality when applied to tasks such as data labelling, accuracy, consistency, and completeness of data.

AI can help businesses not only improve and integrate data, but it will help their business grow through cost reduction and profit enhancement by reducing annual tasks. It has been predicted by Gartner that the business value created by AI will reach $3.9 trillion in 2022.

Businesses thrive with AI. It can automate financial forecasting, giving them greater visibility of their future finances and in turn empowering business owners to make better decisions and take actions to achieve their ultimate goals.

A key challenge for organisations is understanding the business objectives of deploying AI solutions. Therefore, moving away from using AI for technology sake towards awareness of what is feasible and how AI can be harnessed to address these objectives. This is a significant stumbling block for businesses to understand the benefits it can bring to their organisation.

The perceived lack of access to technology and need for copious amounts of data to train machine learning models are other stumbling blocks. We must bust the myth that AI is hard to access, for instance open source projects such as TensorFlow through to Microsoft Azure ML and Amazon Sage Maker are simplifying the process of building, deploying and monitoring machine learning models in production. Most companies don’t know this or how to take advantage of AI cost effective nature.

Even though accessing the technology is easy, using it is less so. Vendors are investing heavily in making the technology more accessible to non-expert users and have overall made great strides in making AI accessible.

That is why the upcoming AI Con Conference on 3 December at Titanic Belfast is so important. It gives us the perfect opportunity to discuss the benefits of AI for local firms.

Bringing together business leaders with world-leading technology professionals, AI Con will examine how artificial intelligence is changing our world and the opportunities and challenges it presents.

The themes for this year’s conference, which hosted 450 attendees in its first year and 800 in a virtual format last year, include Applied AI, AI Next and the Business of AI. These are designed for a general audience, tech audience and business audience respectively, and encompass everything from how AI can add value to organisations to what start-ups in the space should know.

The importance of AI cannot be disputed. AI Con will provide us with an opportunity to showcase the very best of AI. With Belfast now being a recognised tech hub, AI Con provides the perfect opportunity to foster debate and discussion around the benefits AI provides for business. Engagement with key business leaders and organisations is an essential part of that.

london, in-person, events

Datactics CEO Stuart Harvey, Head of Business Development UK Julian Wavell, and Head of Sales Kieran Seaward will be attending Corinium Data and Analytics Metro in London this Thursday, 7th September. 

With new roller banners ready to go and booklets just off the printer, we are ready to meet up in person once again!  

Before the event kicks off on Thursday, we thought we would sit down and chat with Julian about the long-awaited return to in-person events, how in-person networking helps to drive conversations, and why Datactics decided to become involved with this event for the first time.  

Hi Julian, what are you most looking forward to about the normality of in-person events? 

The ability to meet someone in person and have a conversation is a completely different experience from talking to someone online. This is something that in my opinion we should strive to get back to. It is great that both event management companies and ultimately customers are making those steps forward to bring us back into a new normal. Corinium have told us they’re expecting anything from 80-100 attendees to this event and we really welcome that level of commitment from our clients, partners and other vendors alike. After such a prolonged period of virtual engagements, I think there is going to be momentum around physical events as people will appreciate them now more than ever before. 

Why did Datactics decide to become involved with this event? 

It’s one of the first, if not the first data and analytics event of its type to take place in-person, so we jumped at the chance to take part. We are extremely excited to be meeting customers in person, to learn more about their challenges around Data and in turn share stories from some of our projects in the Data Quality space. Only when we speak to customers can we gauge how our product can improve and develop to fully meet ever-changing customer needs and demands. We are also hoping to also gain awareness on what the key pain points are for our customers and what the key topics of conversations are within the space. Furthermore, there is a great opportunity to build commercial awareness of our product offering. 

How does in-person networking help to drive conversations? 

Trust and integrity are important to building relationships for customers and vendors which experience has shown is best achieved through conversations face to face. We also fully appreciate the opportunities to develop synergies with other organisations and seek out new partnerships.  

We are looking forward to sharing our new fresh collateral which will convey how leveraging Datactics will empower business users to rapidly measure, match, report, and fix data assets, delivering true continuous data quality. Feel free to visit our stand and talk data with us. 
We can’t wait to be back talking data again! 

Thanks Julian! Julian joined the Datactics team 4 months ago to help build on strong growth for Datactics in the London financial services sector. You can reach out to him here

His appointment comes as Datactics has now grown to nearly 60, securing international clients in New York and Amsterdam during the past 12 months, alongside a £2m investment round secured in April 2021.

We chatted to Edele about her experience within the Development team so far

Edele Copeland joined Datactics just under 6 months ago to work in our Software Development team.  We have loved getting to know her and wanted to take the time to ask her about how she is settling in; what her favourite part of being in the team is; and how she sees her role developing into the future. 

We are currently advertising for the role of Senior Software Engineer. 

As Edele is 6 months into her own role at Datactics, we asked her what she would say to anyone considering applying for the post…

“I would say that for anyone wishing to apply that you are guaranteed to learn huge amounts in a very short space of time, and I think if you are willing to work hard and buy into the company ethos here you will thrive”

Back in the saddle for Datactics

We are now well over halfway through our Datactalympics and with 11 days to go till the end, it’s all to play for. The challenge has seen all the participants being split into 3 teams (named after our software platform components FlowDesigner, DQM, and DQC)… with the aim of the challenge to accumulate as much time undertaking a physical activity as possible. The challenge has been measured on duration so any and all sports have contributed to the different team totals.

We’ve had surfboarding, longboarding and sailing – as well as all the usual cheeky short walks to and from the carpark…

At the top of the leaderboard currently we have Sean McConnell with 37hrs 45mins accumulated, closely followed by Edele Copeland with 25hrs 40mins and Marcus (Mark Lamb) with 24hrs 9mins.

This morning, Stuart Harvey is racking up the miles cycling through London!
