DATA
In short
Sirus helps organizations, cities and governments make sense of their data. We turn scattered information into a clear, reliable and accessible foundation that supports better decisions, powers AI and automation and makes cities and companies smarter. With strong technical expertise, we transform your data into an instrument of fundamental change and growth.
Why data?
Every modern organization gathers huge volumes of data, from applications, sensors, partners and processes. But without a clear architecture, shared definitions and proper governance, that data quickly turns into clutter: silos, duplicate sources, unclear ownership and unclear dashboards.
That is where Sirus comes in. Our data consultants and engineers help you translate a data strategy into practice, whether that means making your data accessible through European open standards or centralizing it on the Microsoft Data Platform. We work for both private organizations and the public sector, in domains like mobility, water, tourism, healthcare, media and industry. Together, we steer a clear course towards a data foundation that effectively drives strategic decisions.
Some of the things we can help you with
- Building a clear data foundation for your organization or city: we turn a wide array of scattered data sources into one single trusted data structure;
- Connecting your data from applications, databases and external sources so all your data finally talks the same language;
- Sharing data across organizations via European open standards, so cities, agencies and partners can combine information without endless integrations (Linked Data);
- Building and training custom AI models that turn your data into predictions, scenarios and smarter decisions;
- Transforming your raw source data into enriched, validated information you can fully trust;
- Adding intelligence on top with Power BI dashboards, predictions, alerts and Digital Twins;
- Setting up data governance so data stays accurate, well‑owned and GDPR‑compliant as your organization grows;
- Preparing your data for AI so tools like Copilot deliver reliable, relevant results instead of vague, unclear or uncorrect answers.
Unlock the power of Linked Data
Linked Data is the key to interoperability. By describing data consistently according to European and Flemish standards (OSLO, SEMIC), you break down silos between organizations and contribute to data spaces around water, mobility, tourism or urban data. Sirus is a pioneer in Linked Data in Belgium and is actively involved in nearly all major Linked Data projects in Flanders.
Smart Cities: making data actionable with open standards
Cities measure all kinds of data today, from air quality and parking availability to waste and mobility, but those data streams are rarely combined. Sirus brings them together on a Smart City platform, translates them into one universal standard and makes this data accessible for both city services and citizens. We have already built Smart City platforms for Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges, Roeselare, Leuven, Genk, Paderborn, Luxembourg and Esch, among others.
IoT: connect, harmonize and act on device data
An IoT project stands or falls with the architecture behind it. Sirus connects your sensors and devices, makes sure their data is reliable and well‑structured, and turns it into something useful: dashboards, alerts, predictions or fully automated actions. We work with international open standards so your IoT data plays nicely with the rest of your landscape.
Business Intelligence: clear dashboards and reports
Having data is one thing, understanding it is another. Sirus builds Power BI dashboards and reports that bring structure, trends and KPIs together in one place, so decision-makers get clear answers instead of scattered spreadsheets. We tailor every dashboard to the specific questions your organization needs answered.

Some Data reference cases
VMM
We helped VMM turn its sensor data on water quality into a reliable, shareable data platform that other organizations can plug into.
City of Bruges / Leuven / Roeselare
Together with Cegeka, we built Urban Sense: a shared data platform for Bruges, Leuven and Roeselare, where the three cities can finally combine their smart city data and learn from each other.
Synersec
We helped SynerSec replace a legacy application with a modern platform that lets case managers calculate and validate supplementary pensions and benefits, securely processing sensitive data for over two million people.
Antea Group
We helped Antea Group turn scattered, siloed data into a scalable Digital Twin platform, giving teams one shared, organisation-wide data catalogue to work from instead of conflicting file versions.

Frequently asked questions
How can Sirus help structure my company’s data?
Sirus helps organizations, cities and governments build a future‑proof data landscape: architecture, ingestion, harmonization, Linked Data, Smart City platforms, IoT integration, BI and governance.
How is Sirus’ data approach different?
We combine architectural thinking with deep expertise in open standards (NGSI‑LD, OSLO, FIWARE) and the Microsoft Data Platform. That allows us to build both public data spaces and private enterprise platforms on the same solid principles.
Do you only work with cities?
No. We have a strong track record in Smart Cities, but we work just as much with private organizations in mobility, healthcare, media, industry, tourism and other sectors.
Can Sirus prepare our data for AI and Copilot?
Yes. Reliable AI results depend on the quality of the underlying data. We make sure your structure, governance and data models are correctly set up before AI is unleashed on your data.
How do we get started with our data?
Start with the question: which insights or automations would have the biggest impact for you? From there, we translate that into a practical roadmap covering architecture, governance and analytics.
