Understand the problem, explore solutions

First seek to understand, then explore ways to improve is our mantra with assessments. Mariner does a variety of assessments, all centered around how to make better use of data. 

Our process helps evaluate how the data is being used today, where it is sourced from, who uses it, its latency requirements - the entire data management lifecycle.  This is where our assessment services come in.  During the process, we uncover business risks and technical challenges and assess readiness by conducting interviews, profiling the data and outlining next steps. 

An assessment can focus on any of one or more of the following topics:

• Existing limitations
• "As is" or Current state
• Adoption risks
• "To be" or Future state
• Architectural Guidance
• Data Profiling
• Technology Evaluation
• ROI justification 
• Road map for improvement
• Support capabilities

The specific contents of an Assessment can be customized to meet your business challenge.
