Store, Secure, Share. Making it simple to use your data your way.

There's an AI issue most teams haven't named yet.
It's called unstructured reliance.

Nearly half of all AI interactions are now people asking it to think, not just do.

That's the part of the latest adoption data that should be getting more attention. AI isn't quietly speeding up tasks in the background anymore; it's shaping how people interpret, decide, and act. And almost none of that is happening through a structured rollout. It's happening through behaviour.

This creates a problem most organisations haven't named yet - ‘unstructured reliance’. Trust in AI outputs is climbing faster than anyone's ability to verify them. Scrutiny drops as the tech improves. Faster work, slower decisions.

The organisations pulling ahead aren't the ones pushing more AI. They're the ones tightening the layer underneath it; meaning governed data, shared definitions, a single version of the truth. That way AI becomes an interface, instead of a multiplier of risk.

Introducing Speaking Your Language 🎙️

A podcast about making AI make sense for real businesses.

No hype. No noise. No jargon.

Each episode, Marco sits down with someone from business or tech to unpack one of the five pillars of data and AI readiness:

→ Solution: finding the use cases that actually matter
→ People: what AI really means for the humans in your business
→ Data: getting the foundations right
→ Measure: knowing whether it's working
→ Security: putting AI to work without putting your business at risk

Plain language. Practical takeaways.

First up, Marco is joined by Simon Drinkwater of Vantor Advisory, who helps SME leaders navigate organisational change as AI accelerates, to discuss People: "What does AI mean for the people in your business?"

Because business intelligence starts with human intelligence - and we're here for both.

🙏 Big thanks to Nxt Gen AI for sponsoring the series. They're hosting an event at the ICC Wales this June, where Marco is also speaking.

You're a sports organisation. Your ticket sales are up. But do you actually know why?

Most ticketing systems will show you the growth, but they won't show you which lever pulled it, or how to pull it again.

Here’s Configur’s CEO, Marco Oliver, on why the sports industry is sitting on a goldmine of data, and the one thing most organisations are still missing.

Your compliance report looks polished, but the process behind it probably isn’t.

Behind every report tends to be a huge amount of manual reconciliation, lots of pulling information from disconnected systems, teams chasing missing or conflicting data and a fair bit of firefighting.

Days of work often go into producing a report that becomes outdated the moment it’s finished.

In most organisations, you’ll keep improving the reporting layer, refining processes and learning the workarounds.

But really, this isn’t a reporting problem; it’s a data problem.

How much time is your team spending stitching systems together just to get a clear picture?

“Where is the data actually correct?”

That’s the big question.

And that’s exactly what we, at Configur, are trying to help businesses understand.

Because without centralised, clean, and validated data, even the most advanced AI is just guessing. Reporting becomes inconsistent, decisions become reactive, and trust in the numbers starts to erode.

When your data is unified and governed properly, everything changes- your reporting aligns, your insights sharpen, and your AI can actually deliver decisions based on the best version of the truth.

Good AI isn’t just about models. It starts with data you can trust.

AI adoption isn’t the story anymore.
How people are using it is.

The latest data shows AI isn’t just being used to complete tasks. It’s being used to think, interpret and shape decisions.

That changes things...
Because if AI is influencing decisions, the question isn’t speed. It’s whether the answers are right.

We’ve broken down what’s actually happening and what it means for businesses in our latest article.

Reporting doesn’t have to be complex.

Because let’s face it - manual reporting, disconnected systems, and last-minute scrambles aren’t sustainable.

Our new eBook, The Housing Data Playbook, created with housing teams navigating post-annual reporting scrutiny in mind, shows how to turn fragmented data into a single source of truth - and move from reactive reporting to proactive insight.

CAIO. The latest addition to the C-suite.

We recently spent time with CAIOs, CDOs and CMOs at a leadership event, talking through what’s actually happening with AI inside organisations right now.

Common themes keep coming up:

- AI is being adopted, but not always in a structured way.
- Data exists, but confidence in it doesn’t always follow.
- Teams are moving at different speeds across the business.

Well done to Marco and Danielle 🤍

Taking on the Newport 10k in support of Sands - baby loss charity is no small achievement - especially for such a deeply meaningful cause.

Running in memory of Lorenzo and helping keep his name alive is something truly special. Proud of you both 💛

Filming a new set of content with our CEO, Marco 🎬✨

Across every conversation we’re having right now, the same pattern keeps coming up.

Data exists, but it’s fragmented.

AI is already being used, but not always deliberately.

And confidence in the numbers isn’t always where it needs to be.

There’s no shortage of tools, but for some, there’s a shortage of clarity.

So we’re building a series of short, practical videos to break down what’s actually going on inside organisations, and what matters now.

No hype. No theory. Just how this plays out in reality.

More to come... 👀
