01 / THE PROBLEM
Your HR systems have the data. Who makes it work together?
Most organizations are left choosing between siloed HRIS reporting, another specialized analytics platform, or hiring engineers to build and maintain their own data infrastructure.
There’s another way.
People Data Geeks builds the foundation around your existing systems and stays on to operate it, govern it, and help you turn it into useful intelligence.
02 / OUR SOLUTION
Strong foundation. Trusted partnership.
01 / THE FOUNDATION
Your own People Data Platform
Bespoke by design. Built in your own cloud.
We connect approved HR, recruiting, payroll and other enterprise sources into a reliable, governed people-data foundation. Your organization retains control of the underlying cloud environment, data and infrastructure.
Data ingestion, integration and history
Workforce models and data quality controls
Monitoring and operational reliability
Business-informed governance, documentation and scoped technical access management
Semantic models with business-approved metrics
Governed interfaces for compatible reporting, applications and approved AI assistants

04 / HOW IT WORKS
From scattered systems to an evolving intelligence capability.
01
Assess
Start with a free, no-obligation People Data Assessment. We review your current landscape, reporting problems, goals and a possible starting scope. This is a high-level assessment, not a full technical audit.
02
Build
We design and implement a bespoke People Data Platform in your own approved cloud environment. Architecture, integrations, models, governance and interfaces are chosen for your requirements.
03
Operate & Evolve
Following agreed acceptance, we run the managed foundation, maintain its reliability and controls, and deliver prioritized improvements through monthly build capacity. Your Fractional People Intelligence Lead owns the relationship and technical coordination.
05 / WHY PEOPLE DATA GEEKS
Specialized expertise, without another platform to buy.
01
In your own cloud.
Your data and underlying infrastructure remain under your control.
02
Designed for your business.
Not a forced one-size-fits-all stack or proprietary SaaS subscription.
03
A named senior lead.
A clear relationship owner who understands both workforce questions and data engineering.
04
Built and managed.
Implementation is the beginning of an ongoing relationship.
05
Room to grow.
Evolve analytics and tools as needs change, without rebuilding the foundation each time.
06 / FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT

07 / A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Let’s clear things up.
Do you replace our HRIS?
No. We build the people-data and intelligence layer around your existing systems.
Where will our data live?
In your organization’s approved cloud environment. The implementation is bespoke, and your organization retains ownership of its data and underlying infrastructure.
Do you manage payroll and HRIS administration?
No. Our managed service focuses on data integration, foundations, governance, reliability, semantic models and agreed intelligence solutions.
Can our team use Power BI, Excel or AI tools?
The platform can expose governed datasets and metrics to compatible, authorized tools. Each connection depends on technical feasibility, licensing and security approval.
What happens after the initial build?
We manage the accepted platform assets, coordinate technical direction through your Fractional People Intelligence Lead, and provide a monthly development allocation for new work.
Is development work included?
Yes. The proposed ongoing service includes 20 dedicated development hours per month after onboarding acceptance. New requests are estimated and prioritized; large projects can be scoped separately.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on the systems, integration requirements, complexity and ongoing service scope. Start with a free assessment to discuss an appropriate engagement.
