why tentpole data sciences?

We've been asked many times about the meaning behind our name. If you have ever gone camping, you will understand the nessesity of a tent-pole. A structured camping tent can withstand any weather condition when properly supported by tent-poles.

We view tent-poles as being data streams within your organisation which are just as important. For every data stream established within your organisation, allows you to develop a stronger and more resistant business. A data stream can be made up of your internal data, supplier data and market related data.

Not only does Tentpole Data Sciences understand which data is important to our clients, we also look at how and where the data is stored, where it is sourced, the automation, transformation and loading of the data. Our solutions encompass the end to end life cycle of the data all the way to the software layers. We are proud of our brand, what we stand for and what Tentpole Data Sciences is achieving for our clients!
