BI, data engineering and analytics
Whether you are building your first reports or developing a BI platform you already have, the goal is the same: data people trust, in one place, ready for decisions. Data engineering brings it together, BI turns it into reports, and analytics shows where the business is heading.
First call and assessment are free.
Is this for you?
It usually makes sense when:
Monthly reports take days of copying between spreadsheets.
Different departments bring different numbers to the same meeting.
You already have Power BI or Tableau, but reports are slow, hard to change or not trusted.
You have a new BI project, migration or data source and need a team that can deliver it.
What the work covers
Data strategy and assessment
A review of the sources, reports and BI tools you have today, and a plan for what to build or improve first.
Data warehouses and lakehouses
One central place for your data, modeled for reporting, on your own servers or in the cloud (Microsoft Fabric, SQL Server, BigQuery and others).
Data pipelines (ETL and ELT)
Automated loading and transformation from every system, with checks that catch bad data before it reaches a report.
Dashboards and reports
Power BI, Tableau and other tools, with reports designed around the questions management actually asks.
Report server setup and migration
Power BI Report Server and other on-premises platforms designed, installed and secured, or moved to newer tools.
Development and support
New reports, performance tuning and refresh monitoring for the platform you have, with help for your own team.
How the work runs
Questions first
Which decisions should the data support? The key questions and metrics come before any tool.
Source mapping
Every system, file and data owner, with the quality of the data in each.
Model and pipelines
A data model built for reporting, and automated pipelines that feed it.
Reports and rollout
Dashboards built with the people who use them, plus training and documentation.
Run and improve
Monitoring, new sources and new reports as the business asks new questions.
How it helps your business
- One version of the truth
- Finance, sales and operations work from the same numbers instead of arguing over spreadsheets.
- Less manual reporting
- Reports refresh on their own, so your team spends its time on analysis, not on copying data.
- Faster decisions
- Management sees what is happening now, not what happened last month.
- A platform that grows with you
- New sources and reports fit into the model without starting over.
