Governed metrics
Agreed definitions for key measures, held in one semantic layer that every report uses.
Industry context
BI, analytics and embedded insights in education
We build analytics on governed definitions, so every dashboard shows the same number for the same measure.
We agree the data model and the governed metrics with the owner of each measure first. Dashboards and reports come next, with access rules that match who may see which data.
Schools and universities plan around the academic calendar, with admissions, exams and term breaks deciding when change is possible, and they answer to regulators such as KHDA in Dubai, ADEK in Abu Dhabi and the Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia. Academic leaders and campus IT need to agree each change, so we time go-live between terms wherever possible. Dashboards in the region usually need Arabic and English labels and right-to-left layouts, and personal or government data must stay within the hosting and access rules of the UAE PDPL and the Saudi PDPL.
After stabilisation we hand over to your teams or keep running the service with you.
Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.
How the work is organised
From design to stable operation, with the evidence academic councils, data protection officers and regulators ask for.
Data model and pipelines
Scheduled pipelines from source systems into a data warehouse, with data quality checks.
Dashboards and access
Reports and dashboards designed with their users, with row-level access rules where data is sensitive.
Education regulators and data
We plan reporting and data handling around the requirements of your regulator, such as KHDA in Dubai, ADEK in Abu Dhabi or the UAE Ministry of Education, or the Saudi Ministry of Education, and the personal data law that applies in each market.
Embedded insights
Reports and measures embedded in the applications people already use, with the same definitions.
Bilingual reporting
Arabic and English labels, right-to-left layouts and date and number formats checked on every report.
Checks before you start
An analytics programme is ready to start when leadership names the measures it will run the organisation on.
- The data your regulator expects in its returns has been identified.
- Leadership has agreed which measures matter most and who owns each definition.
- The project team has access to the source systems behind the first measures.
