We build it, and we run it

Data initiatives don't stop after implementation. Dashboards need updating, pipelines need monitoring, governance needs daily attention. cimt Managed Services takes that off your plate — you keep strategic control.

cimt Managed Services is operational management and evolution of your data environment under SLA. We manage five domains: BI & Analytics (Qlik environments, dashboards, licences), Data Integration (ETL/ELT pipelines), Data Warehouse (Snowflake performance, cost, governance), Data Governance (metadata, quality, compliance via erwin), and application management for custom integrations. Three service tiers — Basic, Professional, Enterprise — match the right level of support to your criticality and budget. Transparent, proactive and scalable — no black-box outsourcing.

What we manage

Five domains, one integrated service team

We cover the full data platform so you have one partner for every operational concern — no finger-pointing between vendors when something doesn't work.

BI & Analytics

Management of Qlik environments, dashboard maintenance, user administration and licence optimisation

Data Integration

Monitoring and maintenance of ETL/ELT pipelines, error handling and dataflow optimisation

Data Warehouse

Snowflake management, performance tuning, cost optimisation and scalability monitoring

Data Governance

Operational management of metadata, data quality rules and compliance monitoring with erwin

Application management

Maintenance and support of custom integrations and data applications

Our approach

No black-box outsourcing

With cimt Managed Services you always know what is happening, why and by whom. Four principles that separate operational management from a ticket-processing factory.

Transparent

Monthly reports, fixed contacts and direct communication lines. You always know what is happening and why.

Proactive

We surface problems before they have impact — not after the phone rings. Monitoring + observability + capacity planning.

Scalable

From a few hours per week to a fully dedicated team — tuned to your needs, scales with you.

Knowledge retention

Documentation, knowledge transfer and cross-training ensure knowledge doesn't get stuck with individuals.

Platform expertise

Deep knowledge of the platforms data organisations run on

We're technology-agnostic but specialise in the platforms our clients use most, with certified consultants and direct support lines to the vendors.

Qlik Talend Cloud ETL pipelines, data integration, job scheduling, monitoring, incident handling, continuous optimisation

Service tiers

Three models, one goal: keep your data platform running

Scales from light reactive to embedded engineering. We pick the right level together based on criticality, scale and team maturity.

Professional

Proactive monitoring, 9×5 support, weekly reviews, quarterly planning. Suited for growing data environments.

Enterprise

Dedicated team, 24×7 possible, embedded engineering, onboarding guidance, strategic roadmap input. For mission-critical environments.

Frequently asked

Managed Services — what you want to know before starting

What is the difference between your Managed Services and standard IT outsourcing?

Classic outsourcing is reactive ticket handling by generalists. cimt Managed Services is specialised data-platform management by certified Qlik / Snowflake / erwin consultants, with proactive monitoring, knowledge retention and strategic input into your data roadmap. You don't get a helpdesk but a data partner that thinks along about where you're heading.

How do we retain ownership and control if you manage it?

You keep strategic decisions and data ownership. We execute operational management within the boundaries you define. Monthly reviews + quarterly planning sessions keep you in control. Documentation and knowledge transfer ensure you can in-source again at any moment — no vendor lock-in.

What if a platform incident affects our business?

SLA-based response times per tier. For Enterprise: 24×7 coverage with defined restore targets per service classification. Our incident runbooks are shared with your own team so no knowledge monopoly emerges. Post-incident review after every significant incident, with root cause analysis and preventive action.

What does cimt Managed Services cost?

Price depends on scope (which platforms), scale (users / data / pipelines) and tier (Basic / Professional / Enterprise). In an intake conversation we define scope and SLA level and propose a fixed monthly price. No surprise invoices — hours beyond scope require explicit upfront approval.
