Why Us?

Tech-stack agnostic.

Fabric, Snowflake, Databricks, SalesForce, AWS, Azure... we're focused on what best solves your problems, not on 3rd party partner incentives.

Outcome over theatre.

No six-month “strategy phase” before anything ships. A short, transparent discovery phase aimed at carving out concrete deliverables, followed by a 30-90 day intervention leading to visible wins.

Lean, capital-efficient delivery.

Small teams of senior engineers with just enough project management to keep things humming.

Local talent only.

Your data doesn’t get shipped offshore. You work directly with on-shore consultants who understand your context and speak your language, metaphorically and literally.

End-to-end maturity support.

From legacy on-prem SQL or even Excel chaos to governed, self-serve analytics. We meet you where you are and build from there.

Service Pillars

Analytics & BI Enablement

For organizations and teams that are: Drowning in data but starving for insights. Whether your existing reporting is incomplete, inaccurate or too slow, or if you're looking to take the leap and implement a BI visualization tool, we can help you.

  • Assess your current reporting landscape, with measurable opportunities

  • Build semantic models / star-schema warehouses for tools like Power BI, Tableau, or Looker

  • Design and implement executive dashboards and domain-specific analytics (finance, operations, sales, HR, clinical/healthcare, etc.), including advanced functionality such as app embedding and RLS

  • Enable self-serve analytics without compromising security and governance

  • Fix or refactor existing reports/models that are slow, fragile, or opaque

  • Lead knowledge transfer & coaching sessions with your BI team to impart data modeling/visualization best practices

Data Platform Modernization/Implementation

For organizations and teams that are: Overdue an upgrade to a modern data strategy with better reliability and scalability, but wrestling with the mountain of options.

  • Assess your current SQL Server / ETL / reporting landscape

  • Design a modern architecture in your cloud of choice (Azure, AWS, GCP)

  • Implement data platforms like Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, or Azure Synapse/Databricks

  • Plan and execute migrations from on-prem to cloud with minimal downtime

  • Optimize cost and performance (storage vs compute, tiering, scheduling, etc.)

  • Guide you through vendor/platform selection

Data Engineering & Ingestion

For organizations and teams that are: Struggling with blind spots in their data visibility, with complex SaaS/ERP platforms that need to be wrangled so their data can be utilized.

  • Ingest data from ERP/CRM/HRIS, custom apps, and third-party APIs

  • Build robust ETL/ELT pipelines using tools like Fabric Dataflows, ADF/Synapse, dbt, or custom Python

  • Standardize and model data for analytics and data science

  • Implement monitoring, alerting, and error handling so the pipelines keep flowing when we're gone

  • Set up CI/CD and deployment patterns appropriate to your size and maturity

AI Preparedness

For organizations and teams that are: Getting ready or looking to get ready for the AI wave.

  • Evaluate readiness (current state of the data environment)

  • Assess & propose use cases based on the data available, so you focus your efforts on impactful and realistic implementations, rather than a wild goose chase

  • Data modeling/preparation for use by modern data science techniques and libraries

  • Proof-of-concept implementations on concrete machine-learning use cases, for any audience

Unsure how your particular context fits into these buckets? No problem.
