Building a data-driven Housing Sector

Frequent changes in housing regulations have required social landlords to not only maintain but also constantly plan for regulation-led amendments to data controls. As part of our data-driven approach, we assist landlords in becoming more data-driven in their decision-making and throughout their organisations.

Jim Sullivan, Compliance Manager

Embarking on a complete hierarchy change was somewhat daunting to say the least. Designing a hierarchy is one thing, implementing it is quite another, sort of like maintaining the engine while still driving! Data Futurists were a great team to do this with. They brought great expertise to the project as well as a very useful ‘critical friend’ perspective based on their sector experience. They were at all times professional, attentive, and focused in what was a high-pressure project environment with tight deadlines. I would happily recommend them for anyone embarking on a large and complex data project.

Data Futurists have been hugely valuable at helping Sage Housing establish an effective Development Handover data process. This has included designing and implementing processes with training for our Project Managers.

Peter Mannering, Head of Treasury

I welcome this new system because it allows us to meet the property element of our regulatory requirements. Housing Associations like ours look after thousands of homes and millions of pounds of assets, and we need to ensure we have rigorous and accurate data management systems for good governance.

Bob Edgington, Regulatory and Compliance Manager

Data Futurists were great to work with and were used on a key piece of work needed when we were setting up a new asset register for the Family Mosaic and Peabody merger. The work involved data loaded into a newly merged Asset Core database. They reviewed the ownership information held by both companies and helped to change this into a suitable structure to be loaded into Asset Core. They provided a detailed breakdown of the steps that they took so that it could be scrutinized as well as giving constant updates and working collaboratively.
