Building data foundations for agentic AI
How to make data usable, accessible, and secure
AI agents depend on accurate, timely and trustworthy information to reason, plan and act effectively. When data is siloed, incomplete or poorly governed, agents struggle to deliver value and can introduce unnecessary risk.
We help organisations create the trusted data foundations that agentic AI requires. By improving data quality, governance, accessibility and interoperability, we enable AI agents to operate securely, generate reliable outcomes and support confident decision-making across your organisation.
Data foundations for agentic AI
In this video, Principal Architect James Heward outlines four key requirements to get started.
Turn fragmented data into AI-ready architecture

Many organisations are investing in AI while still grappling with fragmented data landscapes, disconnected systems and inconsistent governance.
In his blog, James Heward explains why strong data foundations, from quality and accessibility to governance and integration, are essential for turning AI ambition into reliable, production-ready outcomes.
Building data foundations in practice

Building confidence in compliance data
A global natural resources business needed to improve its trade surveillance capability, but stronger analysis depended on stronger data foundations. By making complex, varied datasets more reliable and easier to work with, the organisation could give compliance teams greater confidence in the insights they used to assess activity.

From legacy data to future-ready insight
A large UK government department wanted to move beyond legacy data feeds and create a reliable foundation for understanding how people interact with its digital services. The aim was to make data more consistent, connected and trustworthy, so future analysis could support better decisions with confidence.
