A Rigorous Engineering Approach
Dataflow - The movement of information between people, business processes and technology
Dataflow - The movement of information between people, business processes and technology
History shows us that when humanity has discovered ways to control, manage, and govern flow, societies have progressed. Our story reflects our approach to understanding dataflow.
Whether it’s the flow of water, electricity, or oil & gas, we trust our everyday management of these flows because our techniques and standards for governing them have evolved over decades and centuries. However, when it comes to the flow of data, no one speaks the same language.
Having worked in Oil & Gas, our founders Fergus and Paul understood the engineering required to support the flow of oil. When they were asked by a client: “Is there a simple way for business and IT to understand each other?” - they took that same approach to the digital world, and the OBASHI Methodology was created.
Since then, that rigorous engineering approach has been applied to everything we do.
