OUR SERVICES
Practical support for your reporting needs.

How we check the result
Reconcile record counts and totals to the agreed source, then confirm that a repeat run produces the expected result.

DLAMINI DATA AND BUSINESS SOLUTIONS (PTY) LTD is a Midrand-based data consulting company. Our initial focus is Gauteng municipalities, with services also available to businesses.
We support finance, ICT, performance management and operational teams. Our work connects the business question to the data, the calculation rules and the report people use.
Business logic, in plain English
These are the agreed rules used to interpret information. For example, a payment is flagged for review when its reference has no matching billing record.
