Our Ethos

Logo for 'Data a Day Solutions' with a circular design, a brick wall graphic, and a line graph, featuring the tagline 'We'll help make bricks without clay'.

We’re interested in creating novel solutions to day-to-day issues. Our view is that software solutions involving AI, ML or Automation, shouldn’t be exclusively available to larger businesses. Our mission is to make those solutions accessible to you and your business.

Every business is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach that works for everyone. We can help you find out what is possible for your company, and help to realise your specific goals.

Our mantra, as seen on our logo, is taken from the Sherlock Holmes mystery, “The Copper Beeches” by Arthur Conan Doyle. Here it is, in its entirety:

“"Data! Data! Data!" he cried impatiently. "I can't make bricks without clay."”.

Like Holmes, we also appreciate the value of informed insight and getting the facts right before embarking on any venture. This is why we will do our best to thoroughly understand your needs and get to the bottom of what added value we can provide for you.
