Data Systems Review

An examination of how data flows into and between different systems within your organisation, providing  a clear picture of your core data technologies, current issues, and potential improvements.

Why you need a Data Systems review

Performing a Data Systems Review (DSR) helps you to:

  • Understand your organisation’s data ecosystem and how systems interact

  • Identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies in data movement between systems

  • Spot opportunities to improve data sharing and publication

  • Ensure your data systems align with your organisation’s goals

  • Plan for future technology upgrades or changes

How to perform a Data Systems Review

Performing a DSR involves the following steps:

  • 1

    Conducting interviews: Speak with key data stakeholders to understand data flows, systems, and user perspectives on current issues.

  • 2

    Reviewing documentation: Examine existing documentation about your current data systems.

  • 3
    Mapping the data landscape: Create a visual representation of your data systems and the flows between them.
  • 4
    Analysing the findings: Identify main issues and potential improvements in your data ecosystem.
  • 5
    Reporting and presenting the findings: Deliver a written review and present key findings.
