Who trusts us
The pattern we keep meeting
The same four problems, in almost every business we meet.
And what the work actually changes.
- Data spread across 10 to 30 toolsOne governed lakehouse
- Off-the-shelf AI that missesBuilt for your processes
- Proof of concept that never shipsIn production in weeks
- Dependent on the vendorOwned by your team
What we do
Four ways to work with us.
Pick one, or start with an assessment and decide after. Most engagements combine two.
Configure, don't rebuild
AI products
Ready-to-adapt products from Aether, our platform, configured against your data and systems rather than built from scratch.
- Configured against your existing systems and data
- Grounded in your own content and terminology
- Deployed in weeks, not a full build cycle
- Same security and governance as a custom build
Fix the foundation
Data as a Service
A secure, governed lakehouse delivered and operated as a service, so your data stops being the reason AI cannot work.
- Azure and Databricks lakehouse architecture
- Ingestion from your existing systems
- Governance, lineage and access control
- Australian data residency, run and monitored by us
Build what's missing
Custom development PODs
A focused team, product lead to engineers, that takes a use case no existing product fits from definition through to production.
- Data and AI readiness assessment
- Use case identification and prioritisation
- Solution architecture and build
- Handover, documentation and support
Add capacity
Staff augmentation
Specialist data, AI, cloud and platform people who embed inside your team and work to your priorities, not ours.
- Embedded engineers, full or part time
- Data, AI, cloud and platform specialists
- Working inside your tools and process
- No minimum term beyond the engagement
Powered by Aether
Aether is our platform. It is not our pitch.
There is no such thing as off-the-shelf AI. Aether gives us most of a solution already built and tested, so the work we bill you for is the part that makes it yours. That is why we can move in weeks instead of quarters, without selling you software that fits everybody and nobody.
The eighty percent is proven, secure and already running. The twenty percent is your business logic, your terminology and your edge cases, and it is the part that decides whether people use the thing.
Selected work
Selected engagements, very different starting points.
Building the data foundation for safer surgery
A Perth neurotech company needed clinical data it could not ethically or affordably collect. We designed a synthetic dataset strategy, stood up an Azure Databricks lakehouse and set a phased roadmap through trials to global market entry.

A biotech scaling a sepsis diagnostic across four regions had its information trapped in SharePoint folders and spreadsheets. We migrated it into a governed lakehouse with self-service access and natural language search.

As companies adopt new technologies and ensure compliance with regulations, the first critical step is for them to understand and manage their data. DKE brings cutting edge capability to our partnership and is committed to working side by side with our companies, readying them for growth.
