“Most company dashboards are not actually dashboards at all – they’re information dumping grounds, and no use to anyone. In data analytics, understanding the process is just as important as understanding the insights your data is giving you. That’s why we focus on aligning your business goals with your key data metrics, and we keep it simple so insights are clear and actionable.”

Data Analytics and Insights Consulting FAQs
How do data analytics support business outcomes?
Data analytics deepens your understanding of where your data is currently, what’s working, and what needs to change. With the right insights, you’ll better understand your customers’ preferences and demographics, the gaps in your business intelligence, the inefficiencies in your processes, and more.
Armed with this knowledge, you can streamline operations to save time and money, inform a successful marketing strategy, and even identify new business opportunities.
Read our blog for more insight on using advanced analytics to improve outcomes of complex projects.
Can data analytics be replaced with AI?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a valuable tool for data insights, but works as an assistant rather than a replacement for your data and analytics consultants. At Oakland, we use AI agents to save time and human resources by automating simple and repetitive tasks, freeing up our data analysts to provide expert insights and interpretations.
See our blogs on using AI agents in data services to learn more.
Are data analytics and business analytics the same?
Data analytics and business analytics work in tandem to help your company succeed, and you can’t have one without the other. Data analytics provides technical insights, while business analytics applies these findings to your company’s needs.
What is project data analytics?
Project data analytics uses intelligence from your company’s projects, both past and present, to inform future project decisions. Read our guide to project data analytics for all the details.
Can we use third-party data to enrich our data insights?
Absolutely. We frequently incorporate third-party data into our advanced analytics work. It enhances forecasting and predictive models, filling gaps where internal data may be incomplete. By integrating external data sources, we provide a more comprehensive view, leading to better decision-making.
Which metrics should we measure in our data analytics?
Every organisation tracks numerous metrics, but not all are valuable. We recommend continuously asking “why?”, like “why is this data in front of me?” and “what action will it drive?”. If a metric is just a different slice of the same data, simplify it. Instead of tracking 20 different metrics, leverage filtering within your existing tools to surface the insights that truly matter.

What is the impact of good data analytics?
Many organisations claim to be ‘data-driven’ and assume that providing data in a compelling way will shift decision-making. But in reality, behaviour is influenced by personal styles, company culture, and the nature of the decisions themselves.
To drive real data-driven change, consider:
- How are decisions currently made?
- How do people interact with data today?
- Does organisational change need implementing alongside data analytics?
Make sure you engage stakeholders across your business to understand what they truly need and how they will use data to drive decisions. With our data analytics services, we can support you to understand the metrics and insights you need to showcase best data analytics practice – and drive business forward.
