With the arrival of the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), most South African companies – big corporates and small to medium enterprises – were faced with an urgent need to comply with this complex and challenging act. Data Ark Consulting responded to this gap in the market by forming a data management consultancy, specialising in the POPI Act. The company has since grown from strength to strength and widened its service offerings to cover a comprehensive and holistic range of IT-related services and solutions.

Our vision statement presents what we, as a company, would like to achieve over the long term. Our vision is to establish and grow a go-to consultancy which provides every day and long-term practical and innovative data-related solutions for all entities.
Why does our business exist? This is the fundamental question that our team unpacked when it was time to create our mission statement. We broke our mission into three prominent actions. We had to establish a foundation, then prioritise clients’ needs and finally drive our business through relationships:
To establish a go-to consultancy which provides every day and long-term practical and innovative data and analytics solutions for all customers regardless of industry
To prioritise our client’s organisational needs, through building sustained solutions and long-term relationships.
To drive ongoing stakeholder engagement. This will help us to consistently ensure that we provide continuous improvements in our decision making, as well as continuous accountability in the quality of service we render.
The core values of a company make up the basic principles that influence the way business is conducted. Data Ark Consulting holds the following values at the heart of everything it does:
Our team is committed to helping every client build a strong data culture. We recognise and acknowledge data as a key business asset, which is why we drive data respect and data competence across every organisation we partner with. And driving data respect will result in service excellence for our business and our client’s business.
Our team members all have one important value in common: we believe in always doing the right thing. This means to continuously strive to act ethically with commitments in all responsibilities. We relentlessly pursue quality without failure in everything we do.
We have an open communication policy to help outline roles and responsibilities that will help to set defined goals and balance workloads. This allows team members to take part in decision making so we can build trust and respect. We are a force to be reckoned with because we all believe in leading by example.
Innovation: we strive to stay ahead of trends in the market. We do this by consistently researching continuous improvements through our innovative ideas – this allows us to build a unique, sustained and extraordinary end product for each client.
