    Data Understood were very experienced in working with imperfect data setups. They not only advised on data services but also drew on real-life experiences to support the team beyond this, including data definitions. They provided costed structure and solutions to create an ongoing, credible data management capability.

    Data Understood were open and always available. They delivered exactly as per scope and were flexible in the face of environmental challenges. What stood out was the sense of partnership - it never felt like a purely transactional relationship.
