20 years of building what other people said was too hard.
Websilk started in 2002. dptr is what it became: a senior team of designers and engineers in Melbourne who think the data should serve the people on both sides of it. With human-centred design in our DNA, application development and systems integration, we are a new breed of data engineering firm and a growing Snowflake partner.
The order is the argument.
Four things we believe, and why all four together are critical. We guide you through every step with a tested and modern HCD (human-centred data) framework. Each one gives the next its direction, and the last one is where the work gets built.
Vision-led
We see what is possible before it is often clear, then we colour it in with you. Vision comes first because it provides the other three direction, inspiration and possibility. Running a national data-collection platform for over a decade taught us what it costs to hold a vision, and what it is worth.
Loving your clients
Human-centred design is where we come from. We design for the people, and we design for their interactions, productivity and meaning. This means not just designing for the customer, but also the team that serves them. Most of our clients have been with us for more than five years. We stay and they stay.
Design your data
We design data to do what your business needs it to do. A design for data is a decision about what matters, written down so engineers can build it and leaders can steer it.
The workshop that starts it →Snowflake, properly
We chose one platform and went deep. Snowflake is the data plane, an agent layer sits on top, along with applications, integrations and pipelines. A human-centred data machine fuelling the customer experience. You own both, in your own tenancy, in Australia.
