Tired of data (mis)management?

We uncover your most important, valuable and costly data, helping you make informed investment decisions, for the greatest possible impact.

Reimagining data management

We believe in big ideas. Yet, big ideas need great data.

And whilst there is more data than ever, managing it can feel like a guessing game. So many problems to fix and no clarity on where to start.

We help companies intelligently target their data efforts, so their biggest ideas can come to life.

Our guiding principles

In everything we do, we carry these principles with us. We measure each other and the impact we have, by how we conform to them.

Focus on value

We assess everything by measured value, so you know the data that will make the biggest impact for your organisation and can prove it too.

Simple, meaningful, manageable

We drive a shared understanding of data, helping leaders make the decisions they’ve always been used to. Focusing investment for maximum returns.

Challenge the status quo

We are always outcomes-first. We aim to deliver transformational, enterprise-wide change in the way your organisation manages data.

Measure, don't guess

We measure at every point possible, helping you know and manage the data that can either run or ruin your business.

Positive outcomes for society & community

We believe in the power of data-driven decisions to make people’s lives better, be they customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders, local communities or future generations.

Small, not big, data

We believe in delivering big ideas, not hoarding big data. It’s time for small data, smart data, only the data you need.
“What surprised me about working with Anmut was the level of empathy. You spent time properly understanding our business and unique behaviours and were able to provide key insights that we weren’t able to deliver in-house. You worked with us to develop a great understanding of the data value of our business, which has helped us to distil and communicate this value to investors.”
