Sound familiar?

Your Engineering Roadmap Is Moving. But Is Your Data Infrastructure Keeping Up?

Your developers are focused on product delivery. Meanwhile, data engineering problems compete for the same time, budget and attention.

Pipelines

Unreliable data pipelines are slowing delivery

Failed jobs, delayed processing, recurring errors and constant troubleshooting consume engineering time. Your team spends more time maintaining existing pipelines than delivering new capabilities.

Integration

Your data is scattered across different systems

Business-critical information sits across databases, applications, cloud platforms and legacy systems. Without dependable integration, teams struggle to access consistent data for analytics, reporting and AI.

AI readiness

Your AI roadmap is blocked by data you cannot trust

You have promising AI use cases, but inconsistent data, quality issues and weak governance make production deployment difficult. A working AI demo is not the same as a reliable production solution.

Capacity

Your engineering backlog keeps growing

Your developers already have product deadlines. Hiring specialist data engineers takes time, while important integration, infrastructure and AI projects remain unfinished.

Cloud cost

Cloud data costs are rising without clear answers

Inefficient processing, poorly configured workloads and limited monitoring push infrastructure costs up. Without spare engineering capacity, finding and fixing the causes becomes another project on a crowded roadmap.

Expertise

You need specialist expertise, not another recruitment process

Some challenges need experience in data architecture, distributed processing, cloud platforms and production AI. Building every capability in-house may not be practical, especially when the need is urgent.

You shouldn’t have to choose between shipping product features and building reliable data infrastructure.

The offer

Introducing the 45-Day Data & AI Engineering Sprint

One critical engineering challenge. A focused team. Measurable progress.

The sprint is designed for CTOs who need specialist engineering capacity to move an important project forward. Instead of committing to a large consultancy engagement or recruiting an entire data team, start with one defined challenge.

Our engineers work with your existing technology, understand the bottleneck, implement an agreed solution and validate the results.

Where we help

Three Critical Challenges. One Engineering Partner.

Each sprint focuses on one of these. Pick the challenge that is holding your roadmap back most.

Challenge 01

Data Pipeline Reliability & Performance

Stop spending engineering time fixing the same pipeline problems.

Slow processing, failed jobs, unstable integrations and recurring maintenance delay everything that depends on your data. Tenplus helps identify pipeline bottlenecks, improve selected workloads, strengthen reliability and establish a clearer approach to monitoring and maintenance.

Potential outcomes

  • Faster processing
  • Fewer recurring failures
  • Less manual intervention
  • More dependable downstream data

Challenge 02

Data Integration & AI Readiness

Your AI strategy can only move as fast as the data behind it.

AI initiatives often depend on information spread across different systems, inconsistent definitions and data that has not been prepared for reliable use. Tenplus helps connect relevant sources, improve data quality, assess governance requirements and validate the data foundation for a defined AI use case.

Potential outcomes

  • More reliable data access
  • Clearer readiness gaps
  • A practical route to production AI

Challenge 03

Specialist Data Engineering Capacity

Move your engineering roadmap forward without waiting for permanent hires.

Your team may have the technical direction but lack the capacity or specialist experience to execute every data initiative. Tenplus provides experienced data engineers and technical oversight to deliver defined work alongside your existing team.

Potential outcomes

  • Fewer delivery bottlenecks
  • Access to specialist expertise
  • A more predictable path for priority work

Find the Right Sprint for Your Team

How it works

How the Engineering Sprint Works

Three phases inside one agreed scope. You see progress against the acceptance criteria throughout, not just at the end.

  1. 01Phase 1

    Assess & define

    We review the selected technical challenge, relevant systems, existing architecture, delivery constraints and business priorities. Together, we set the scope, acceptance criteria, responsibilities and success measures.

    • Scope
    • Acceptance criteria
    • Owners
  2. 02Phase 2

    Engineer & validate

    Tenplus engineers work on the agreed problem using the relevant data, infrastructure and development environment. Depending on scope, this may involve pipeline optimisation, system integration, data quality improvements or validating a technical foundation for AI.

    • Working solution
    • Tests
    • Progress updates
  3. 03Phase 3

    Demonstrate & plan

    We test the solution against the agreed criteria, review the results with your technical team and document the work. You get a clear view of what improved, what remains unresolved and what production or wider rollout requires.

    • Results demo
    • Documentation
    • Production plan

You retain the agreed deliverables, whether or not you continue with Tenplus.
