Simpson Associates is a UK data transformation consultancy helping organisations across the public and private sectors turn disconnected, underused data into a strategic asset. From data strategy and governance through to platform modernisation, AI, and managed services, we support the full data journey, not just one part of it.
Our work spans some of the most complex data challenges in the UK. We help NHS Trusts navigate the transition from Power BI Premium to Microsoft Fabric, support local authorities in liberating data from legacy systems to improve frontline outcomes, and partner with organisations across policing, social housing, charities, and financial services to build governance frameworks that work in practice and help them get AI ready.
As a Microsoft Solutions Partner and Fabric Featured Partner, we bring deep expertise across Microsoft Fabric, Purview, Azure, and Databricks. Our Fabric implementations help organisations unify their data estate, modernise analytics, and build the foundations for AI. Our governance and compliance work, powered by Microsoft Purview, helps organisations manage data ownership, security, and regulatory obligations at scale.
We are proud to be the winner of the 2024 Microsoft Community Response Partner of the Year award, reflecting our commitment to using data and technology for positive change. We also hold ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, JOSCAR accreditations and multiple Microsoft specialisations and designations.
With offices in York and Sheffield and a team of over 100 data and AI professionals, we partner with organisations to help them harness data as a lever for change and realise business value more quickly. Whether you are at the start of your data journey or looking to accelerate what is already in place, we are here to help.
