About Dataleks

Helping businesses unlock
the full value of their data

Dataleks was founded on a simple belief: better decisions start with better data. We build modern data warehouses for mid-market businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't have a 50-person data department.

We work across the full stack — schema design, dbt models, ADF pipelines, Snowflake or Azure Synapse, Power BI and Tableau. Small team, senior people, real ownership.

Common questions

Things people ask us

Most initial builds take 6–12 weeks depending on the number of source systems and reporting requirements. We'll give you a realistic timeline in the discovery phase — not an optimistic one to win the work.
No — data quality issues are part of what we diagnose and fix. Most clients come with messy data. We'd rather see the reality early than have you waste time tidying it up first.
Yes, frequently. We can audit what's there, keep what works and rebuild the rest on a proper foundation — including migrating to dbt or a cloud warehouse.
Primarily Azure (Synapse, ADF, Blob Storage, Azure SQL), Snowflake and BigQuery. We'll recommend the right platform based on your existing stack and data volume.
Yes — this is one of our specialisms. We design the team structure, help you hire the right people, get them productive and document everything so your team owns the platform long-term.

What students say
