Here is what he had to say…
Hi Phil, How has Newtyne’s Consultancy offering changed over the years?
Changes in Client Demands
Over the years, client expectations in data and analytics consultancy have evolved significantly. Initially, clients often sought support for specific technical implementations or short-term projects. Today, there is a greater emphasis on strategic partnerships, long-term value, and measurable business outcomes. Clients increasingly demand solutions that not only deliver technical excellence but also drive business transformation, data-driven decision-making, and compliance with evolving regulations.

Range of Technology
Newtyne’s consultancy offering has expanded alongside rapid technological advancements in the data and analytics space. While early engagements may have focused on traditional BI tools and on-premises data solutions, the current offering encompasses a broader range of technologies, including cloud platforms (e.g. Azure, AWS, Databricks, Snowflake), advanced analytics, machine learning, and data engineering tools. This evolution reflects both client needs and the wider industry shift towards scalable, flexible, and future-proof solutions.


Type of Engagement
The nature of consultancy engagements has diversified. Beyond classic project-based consulting, Newtyne now supports clients through advisory services, managed services, and flexible resourcing models. This includes embedding expert consultants within client teams, providing ongoing support, and delivering upskilling and training as part of a holistic service. Such flexibility allows Newtyne to address both immediate project needs and longer-term capability building.

Compliance/Quality
With growing regulatory requirements and industry-specific standards, clients are highly concerned with compliance and maintaining data quality. Ensuring data is accurate, secure, and used ethically is critical. Newtyne’s consultancy offering includes robust data governance frameworks, compliance audits, and quality assurance processes—helping clients mitigate risk, maintain trust, and meet legal obligations.
