  • Unlock Hidden Insights from Your Existing Data—No Matter Where It Lives

    Your business data holds the key to growth, but you don’t need an expensive enterprise database to tap into its power. Whether your information lives in Excel spreadsheets, LibreOffice Calc files, or Microsoft Access databases, Mimir Data Analytics can transform that raw data into actionable insights that drive real results.

    Beyond Traditional Databases: We Work with Your Current Systems

    While we’ve previously discussed the tremendous value of robust databases for business intelligence, the reality is that most small and medium enterprises store their critical data in more accessible formats:

    • Spreadsheets (Excel, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets)
    • Desktop databases (Microsoft Access, FileMaker)
    • Simple file systems and flat files

    These aren’t limitations—they’re opportunities. Your existing data storage methods are perfectly valid starting points for powerful analytics.

    Why This Matters for Your Business

    You don’t need to overhaul your entire data infrastructure to gain competitive insights. Mimir Data Analytics works directly with your current systems, meaning you can:

    • Start analyzing immediately without costly migrations
    • Maintain your familiar workflows
    • Discover patterns you never knew existed in data you already have
    • Make data-driven decisions faster than ever

  • Every Business Creates Data – Even Yours

    No matter the size or industry, every business generates valuable data as part of its daily operations. Whether you’re running a window cleaning service and logging completed jobs and payments, or managing a thriving online store with an annual turnover of £150,000, you’re producing data every step of the way.

    The nature of the data may differ, but its potential remains the same: when properly analysed, it can drive smarter decisions and fuel business growth.

    That’s where Mimir Data Analytics comes in. We help you unlock the insights hidden in your data—so you can make informed choices, streamline operations, and grow with confidence.

  • From Data to Business Growth: The Mimir Approach

    I’ve worked with data for many years—designing and developing databases, and analysing the valuable information they hold. One thing I’ve learned is that while it’s easy to think of a database as just a place where data is stored, that data actually starts life as information. Every time your business operates—whether you’re booking jobs, making sales, or sending invoices—you’re collecting information. When that information is recorded, it becomes data.

    For many small businesses, that data just sits there, unused. But hidden inside it are insights that can help you run more efficiently, understand your customers better, and plan for growth.

    That’s where Mimir Data Analytics comes in. Named after Mimir, the Old Norse god of wisdom, we help turn your data back into meaningful information—and from that, uncover the knowledge that helps your business thrive.
