Partnership Model

A Different Model for the Big 4

Specialized taxonomy technology and training infrastructure to supercharge offshore teams.

The Challenge You Face

Your offshore centres have good engineers. But data taxonomy work doesn't fit the offshore model. Here's why:

  • There's no training for it. Universities teach data science and machine learning. Nobody teaches semantic mapping or taxonomy standardization.
  • Manual work doesn't scale. Your teams spend 70-80% of project time doing repetitive classification by hand. There's limited learning or methodology transfer.
  • Quality varies. Without proper tooling, outcomes depend on individual judgment rather than formal specifications.
  • Only senior people can do it. Complex schema work needs your expensive consultants. Most of your offshore capacity isn't productive on these projects.
  • Knowledge stays trapped. One person learns how to do something. They leave or rotate. Knowledge doesn't transfer effectively.

Our Partnership Model

We turn taxonomy work from specialist craft into repeatable process:

  • Proper training programmes. We built the only structured curriculum for this work because nobody else was doing it. Not universities, not training providers.
  • Tools that eliminate grunt work. Our platforms cut manual classification by 70-80%. Junior engineers become productive on work that used to need senior consultants.
  • Quality you can depend on. Validation protocols mean consistent deliverables regardless of who's doing the work or when they joined.
  • Use more of your capacity. Stop burning senior consultants on repetitive data work. Get your broader offshore teams actually productive on this.
  • Knowledge that transfers. Formal specs and audit trails replace people carrying expertise in their heads. Team rotation stops being a disaster.
Capabilities

Market Reality

The Training Gap Nobody Addresses

Until now.

What Currently Exists

  • AI and MLOps bootcamps with certifications
  • University degrees in data science, computer science, engineering
  • Cloud platform training from AWS, Azure, Google
  • General data engineering courses on pipelines and ETL
  • Business analysis and requirements gathering

None of this teaches semantic mapping, taxonomy design, or classification standardization.

What You Actually Need

  • Formal semantic mapping techniques that work across systems
  • Industry classification standards expertise
  • Schema resolution for federated architectures
  • Compliance taxonomy mapping for regulatory requirements
  • URI governance and version control for taxonomies

This is what makes systems reliable.

Here's what this means: Your offshore teams can build ML models and data pipelines perfectly well. But the data prep work that determines whether RAG actually works in production? Whether post-merger integration succeeds or fails? That still depends on senior consultants doing taxonomy work manually. We built FireCherry to fix this problem.

Core Technology

FireCherry Taxonomy Platform

A canonical classification and governance platform that provides machine-readable, governed descriptions of entities across your systems. Not just definitions—infrastructure that marketing, revenue, analytics, and AI systems can actually consume.

Classification & Mapping

  • Entity classification with canonical taxonomies
  • Assertion layer for governed attributes
  • Semantic mapping across systems
  • Multi-party taxonomy resolution
  • Industry standard mappings

Governance & Validation

  • Rule-based validation engine
  • Versioned change tracking
  • Audit trail generation
  • Compliance mapping frameworks
  • Data lineage tracking

Integration & Export

  • RESTful API access
  • JSON-LD, CSV, SKOS exports
  • ERP and PLM connectors
  • Real-time validation services
  • Federated schema architecture

Enterprise Features

  • Portfolio and tenant scoping
  • Role-based access control
  • OAuth2 authentication
  • URI governance system
  • Version control for taxonomies

Licensed separately with training. Your teams get full platform access plus the structured curriculum to use it effectively. The combination of tools and training is what makes offshore teams productive on taxonomy work from week one.

Development

Training Programmes

We transform offshore teams into taxonomy standardization specialists through structured, hands-on training that addresses the complete capability gap in this domain.

Foundational Training (2 weeks)

Audience: Data engineers, analysts
Focus: Taxonomy theory, formal semantic mapping, platform fundamentals
Outcome: Team can execute standardization tasks with supervision

Advanced Practitioner (4 weeks)

Audience: Senior engineers, project leads
Focus: Complex schema resolution, compliance mapping, client engagement
Outcome: Independent project delivery with quality assurance

Industry Specialization (2 weeks)

Audience: Domain-focused teams
Focus: Sector-specific standards (retail, healthcare, finance, supply chain)
Outcome: Expert-level knowledge for specialized client needs

Benefits

Why This Model Works

For Your Firm

  • Better offshore utilization. Junior and mid-level people handle work that currently needs senior consultants.
  • Cut manual work by 70-80%. Proper tooling eliminates the repetitive classification that eats project time.
  • Predictable quality. Formal specs and validation mean consistent results regardless of who's on the team or when they rotated in.
  • Train people in 8 weeks. Structured programme rather than years of apprenticeship.
  • Technology-enabled delivery. Move beyond pure labour arbitrage as your competitive model.

For Your Clients

  • They get specialized capabilities through their existing relationship with you. No need to find and manage another vendor.
  • Global delivery with proper quality assurance built in from the start.
  • Faster delivery. 8-12 weeks versus the 6-12 months it typically takes when organizations try to do integration internally.
  • Audit-ready documentation falls out of the process automatically.
  • The same methodology works across their portfolio companies or business units.
Applications

Typical Deployment Scenarios

Private Equity Portfolio Harmonization

Train one dedicated team to handle data standardization across 5-15 portfolio companies. They do all the taxonomy work for the entire portfolio at 50-60% less than hiring consultants for each integration.

Post-Merger Integration Factory

Build M&A integration as a repeatable capability. Your offshore team uses our tools to deliver catalog consolidation in 8-12 weeks, one deal after another, with consistent quality.

AI Readiness Practice

Expand into AI consulting with RAG data preparation services. Your trained teams handle the document and taxonomy prep that determines whether these systems work in production.

Compliance-as-a-Service

Offer ongoing taxonomy governance to regulated clients in finance and healthcare. Your team maintains compliant classification schemes with quarterly updates instead of one-off remediation projects.
