We get data done.

In today’s environment it’s not easy to build an analytics team:

  1. Talent is expensive and rare. Building a modern analytics department involves brand new tools, technologies, and processes, and people who have deep experience are hard to find. Those who do are expensive.
  2. Best practices continuously evolve. Analytics is evolving rapidly. It’s hard for data teams to stay focused on solving real business problems while also staying up-to-date on industry advances that could 10x their performance.
  3. Executive talent is hard to find. Leadership requires people that have “been there done that”. In an evolving industry, with high demand, it’s increasingly hard to hire executives experienced in building modern data teams.
  4. You won’t find a unicorn. You need people thinking about data engineering, business intelligence, data science, and data strategy, and it’s virtually impossible to find a single person who is an expert in each of those areas.

As a result, standing up a data team is extremely difficult. You need to make complex decisions about tools, technology, and process. You need to interview people who have skill sets you don’t, and you need to trust them to make decisions that will impact the long-term success of this core strategic function.

And, of course, you have to find the budget to pay for it.

We help you get on track.

We’re often the first data strategy team at a company and we usually work directly with the executive team. We collaboratively design a data strategy that aligns with current business strategy. We implement analytics infrastructure, design and build out core data sets, dashboards and automated reporting.

We build our analytics solutions in the cloud, using the most modern tooling and practices, to enable modern data governance, development efficiency gains and to prepare for the future of analytics. We are specialists in implementing a semantic layer across your data, the core prerequisite for self-service AI in analytics, enabling you to chat with your business data and design your future.

We’re able to deliver all of this for you, because we have deep experience in all aspects of modern analytics. We have extensive business strategy experience within large enterprise and mid-market companies, combined with technical experience that includes building a cloud enterprise analytics platform at the dawn of the cloud era at a leading data company for organizations to include Netflix, Coca-Cola and eBay. Our collective team has worked with and built data capability for hundreds of businesses. And we are deeply plugged into the networks of the innovators and leaders in the space.
