Recent Projects

ASDA

Nimble partnered with ASDA to enhance their existing Databricks implementation, focusing on maturing key processes and ways of working. Whilst a platform was in place, key data processes had become inefficient, no longer meeting the needs of key stakeholders and impacting future crucial data migrations. By integrating senior staff as technical leads within existing squads, Nimble introduced best practices that reduced deployment times, optimised data pipeline performance, lowered platform costs, and established the foundations for their ML capabilities. These operational improvements also unblocked time for key developers, allowing them to focus on migrating data from key systems rather than releasing code or waiting on pipelines.

Global Cybersecurity Vendor

After scaling through multiple acquisitions, a global cybersecurity vendor had a number of duplicate systems – each within organisational silos. To enable conformed data products for reporting and AI, we implemented a Databricks lakehouse migration.

A squad spanning engineering, delivery, and product was mobilised to architect and build the platform, enabling the development of a conformed data layer using a medallion architecture. Following two successful project phases, much of the organisation’s data was onboarded to the platform and developed into core reporting products based on user feedback.

UK Government Department

Following years of ad-hoc development, this UK Government department’s Regional Service Division were maintaining key reports through a legacy SQL platform with poor performance, slow and error-prone reporting, and increasing complexity. To modernise this, a joint team from Nimble and another consultancy were embedded within  their analytics function to design and implement modern lakehouse architecture built around Databricks. Once the platform was built, data was acquired from the underlying SQL estate where it could be governed at all stages of the medallion architecture using Unity Catalogue. Automated data quality checks were put in place, whilst pyspark was introduced for more performant transformations to cleanse and conform the data into suitable data products. By undertaking this modernisation, this UK Government department can move away from a difficult-to-maintain system while establishing the data foundations required to support their AI ambitions.
