Ultimate Data Sciences has over a decade’s experience in working with professional conference organisers, stand builders, and infrastructure providers. Our unique blend of technical and creative skills enables us to offer a range of information and communication technology products and services to the events industry. We employ a professional and scientific approach (known in the IT industry as systems analysis), enabling us to act as the interface between business and technology.
We use the principles of systems analysis and design to study business processes, and then harness the power of technology to create systems that make these processes better. We position ourselves specifically as the interface between business and technology. In the events industry, this enables us to provide a full service offering both in the office and on-site at events.
Systems analysis and design is a continuous journey of development and refinement. Our client intake process starts with an initial consultation, where our primary aim is to gain a solid understanding of your niche operations. From there, we conduct a needs analysis, and research the best way to achieve your required deliverables. The system design process is an intensive collaboration between our technical, creative and development teams – where we work to leverage or create technologies and experiences that are both functional and engaging.
We involve you at every stage of the development and testing phase, so that the implementation and operation of the final system is seamlessly integrated into your existing day-to-day business processes. Finally, data reporting and on-going maintenance form an important part of the overall life cycle, which often results in revisiting the process to further develop new systems.
The reason this approach to implementing technology in the events space is successful is because of its thorough and methodical nature. Events have multiple levels of engagement, and careful attention to detail is crucial. The value proposition of the systems analysis approach is that we work with our clients both in their offices and on-site at events, and this requires a specific understanding of the business processes in the industry. Our clients trust us because we understand that an event has many stakeholders and we know how to innovate in a way that considers all of them.
Ultimate is not only committed to innovating better services for events, but also more sustainable ones. The company is an active member of the Event Greening Forum, and the e-Waste Association of South Africa.
