Our consultants can support organisations with a wide variety of business challenges including but not limited to; Infrastructure risk management, regulatory compliance, cyber security, business transformation. Our clients often identify a critical need to understand how their business and technology assets relate to each other and the business advantage of optimizing the flow of their data. Obashi solves this. During our consulting projects we utilise our fully scalable OBASHI cloud-based platform to automate the OBASHI Methodology allowing us to model and produce Business & IT diagrams (B&IT’s) and Dataflow Analysis Views (DAVs). Our platform has an intuitive customisable front end that allows the project team to start creating their own visual representations of the way the people, process and technology interact across an organisation. Using the 6 Obashi layers a pictorial and data rich model can be constructed. Like the flow of water, we are continually evolving at Obashi, shaping and changing our landscape.

We Help People See Data Flow Obashi Technology Ltd is a Dataflow Technology company, headquartered in Falkirk, Scotland. Obashi Technology Ltd is the world leading dataflow expert and its co-founders have written the fundamental laws and principles around the control, management and governance of the most abundant business resource on the planet: Data. Using our unique OBASHI Methodology and OBASHI Platform, we create clarity by modelling the relationships and dependencies between business and IT assets. We help you see the ‘Big Picture’ of how your business works. We call the movement of information between people, processes, and technology: dataflow. Dataflow is the lifeblood of the modern world. It is as critical to everyday life as the flow of water, energy, and transport. We take for granted the control, management, and governance these flows, and yet when it comes to dataflow, no one speaks the same language. Our OBASHI Platform helps join the dots between people, process and technology. Our fully scalable cloud based OBASHI Platform is designed to control, manage, and govern dataflow. It automates our unique dataflow methodology and allows users to model and produce Business & IT diagrams (B&ITs) and Dataflow Analysis Views (DAVs). The OBASHI Platform has an intuitive customisable front end, which allows the user to start creating their own visual representations of the way the people, process and technology interact across their organisation. The ability to add and export data and simulate ‘what-if scenarios’ enables the user to perform analysis and reporting from the front-end, supporting business critical questioning and strategic decision making. Our OBASHI Methodology and OBASHI Platform together form the key that unlocks organisational challenges related to business optimisation, cyber security, regulatory compliance such as GDPR and PCI DSS, infrastructure risk management, and more. Obashi’s commitment to educating students of all ages on the language of dataflow is a responsibility we are proud and passionate about. As experts in all thing’s dataflow, we have developed ‘OBASHI Learn’ to support the delivery of the Higher National Certificate/Diploma (HNC/D) Unit in Data Flow with the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) and Further Education Colleges. The unit was verified by SQA in 2019 and is being taught to college students across Scotland since January 2020. The methodology developed by Obashi is accredited by APMG International and an online foundation course is available through ITSMZone.
