Decaf Data brings together a modern governance platform, hands-on consulting, and practical training into a single ongoing partnership. You get the tool, the methodology, and the people to make it stick.
Organisations buy governance tools and leave them unused. They engage consultants who produce frameworks that gather dust. They run training sessions that change nothing on Monday morning. The reason is always the same: the pieces are separate, and nobody holds them together.
Decaf Data is built on the premise that governance only works when the tool, the methodology, and the capability all move together. That is what we deliver.
A lightweight governance catalogue purpose-built for teams that need to get things governed. Reports, data assets, glossary terms, ownership, and AI readiness, all in one place.
Explore the platform →Hands-on governance advisory embedded in your programme. Domain health reviews, ownership frameworks, governance operating models, and strategic guidance from someone who has done this before.
About the advisory →Training sessions built around you, your data, and where your programme actually is today. For stewards, domain owners, business teams, and leadership.
See what's available →Every client gets all three, because governance does not work when it is practised in pieces.
We begin wherever it makes sense for your organisation. That might be setting a governance strategy, establishing your framework, identifying your domains, owners, and stewards. When the time is right, we bring the platform online and the work begins in earnest.
Every arrangement includes a monthly advisory allowance. Quiet months roll over. Busy months draw it down. We are there at every step — not just when you raise something, but actively planning what comes next.
We plan each month together. Whether it is a governance workshop, a domain review, a policy document, or a lunch and learn for your business teams — everything is structured and delivered properly.
Pricing is aligned to your governance progress, not your headcount. It is not about how many people have a login. As your programme matures and your data landscape grows, your investment reflects the value you are getting.
By bringing the platform, our expertise, and ongoing advisory engagement together, we are able to offer an arrangement that delivers genuinely strong value. Most organisations find this replaces a mix of tool licences, ad hoc consulting, and training budget that was already being spent — with considerably more to show for it.
The advisory relationship is not a helpdesk. It is a dedicated person who understands data governance deeply and is actively working to move your programme forward. That covers everything from defining your governance operating model to running workshops with your business teams to helping your stewards do their best work. Whatever your governance programme needs, that is what the relationship is for.
You have a data team. You have a mandate. You know governance matters, especially as AI moves up the agenda. You do not have the budget or the appetite for an enterprise platform that requires a dedicated implementation team and six months to go live.
Decaf Data is designed for that exact organisation. It is straightforward to onboard, genuinely used by real people, and backed by expertise that is available when you need it.
Decaf Data covers your metadata — your governance documentation, your object catalogue, your ownership records. No business content, no sensitive records, and no source data ever enters the platform. That makes the privacy and security story straightforward from day one.
Your data never leaves Australian infrastructure. Our platform runs on Sydney-region servers, so your governance records stay where your organisation operates.
We catalogue metadata and governance documentation only. Source data and business content are never uploaded to or processed by the platform.
Your governance records are backed up daily. We keep a rolling history so that anything entered into the platform is protected and recoverable.
You can export your complete governance catalogue at any time. There are no lock-in mechanisms. If you decide to move on, everything you have built comes with you.
Users sign in via a secure magic link sent to their work email. No passwords to manage or forget. Microsoft account login is also supported.
Single sign-on integration is available for organisations using Microsoft Entra ID or similar identity providers. Talk to us about your requirements.
Governance is not a project you finish. It is a programme you run. The organisations that do it well have someone in their corner who understands their data, their domains, and where their programme needs to go next. That is the relationship we are here to build.
The platform records your progress. The advisory relationship drives it. Year on year, the catalogue grows, the maturity increases, and governance becomes part of how your organisation works rather than a separate initiative competing for attention.
And there is no lock-in. Your data is your data. If you decide to move on, it is yours to take with you.
There is no sales process here. Tell us about your organisation and where your governance programme is today, and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
