Business intelligence consulting that turns scattered data into clear decisions
Your data lives in five systems and the monthly report still takes a week. Our business intelligence consulting connects those sources on the cloud you already use and gives you live dashboards built around the questions your business actually asks.
- Dashboards that update on their own, no more copy-paste reports
- Built on the cloud you already pay for: Google Cloud, AWS, Oracle or IBM
- Your team learns to read and maintain every dashboard we deliver
When data is everywhere, answers are nowhere
Most small and mid-sized businesses do not lack data. They lack a single place where that data agrees with itself.
Reports built by hand
Someone exports spreadsheets from the CRM, the accounting tool and the e-commerce platform, then stitches them together every month.
Numbers that do not match
Sales says one figure, finance says another, and the meeting turns into a debate about whose spreadsheet is right.
Decisions made on old information
By the time the report is ready, the month is over and the moment to act has passed.
Every week spent assembling reports is a week your team is not using them. Slow, conflicting numbers lead to late decisions, missed problems and hours of skilled work spent on copy-paste.
How our cloud business intelligence solutions work
We start from your business questions, not from a tool. Then we connect and clean the data that answers them and publish live dashboards with alerts on the cloud platform that fits your company.
Define the questions
Together we choose the 5 to 10 questions that matter most: margins by product, sales by channel, collections, inventory, team workload.
Connect and clean the data
We integrate your sources into one model on Google Cloud, AWS, Oracle or IBM, and fix duplicates, gaps and inconsistent formats along the way.
Dashboards, alerts and training
You get live dashboards, alerts when an indicator goes out of range, and hands-on training so your team can read and maintain them.
What our data analytics consulting services deliver
Data source inventory
A map of where your data lives, who owns it and how fresh it is, plus the priority business questions it must answer.
Integrated cloud data model
Your sources connected and cleaned in one place, on the cloud you already use or the one that best fits your needs.
Live dashboards
Clear dashboards for the indicators that matter, refreshed automatically. We work with Power BI, Looker and other tools you may already have.
Out-of-range alerts
Notifications when a key indicator crosses a threshold you define, so problems surface before the monthly review.
Training and documentation
Sessions for your team plus written documentation, so the dashboards keep working without depending on us.
Is this business intelligence service right for you?
This is for you if
- Operations or finance leaders at small businesses with data spread across several tools
- Companies whose monthly report takes days of manual work
- Teams that already pay for a cloud platform but do not use its data capabilities
- Owners who want to decide with current numbers, not last month's spreadsheet
Probably not a fit if
- Companies looking for a generic dashboard template with no integration work
- Projects that only need a one-time static report

We build on the cloud you already pay for, so your data stays in your accounts and under your control.
Built to be maintained by your team
Every project includes training and documentation. Business intelligence becomes an in-house capability, not a black box.
Business intelligence consulting: frequently asked questions
What does a BI consultant do?
A BI consultant turns scattered data into answers. We identify your key business questions, connect and clean the data that answers them, and deliver dashboards and alerts your team can use and maintain.
Cloud vs on-premise BI: which is better for a small business?
For most small businesses, cloud BI is simpler to start and scale because there is no hardware to manage. When data cannot leave your premises, we can design a hybrid setup instead.
Power BI vs Looker for a small business?
Both work well. Power BI fits companies already on Microsoft 365; Looker fits teams on Google Cloud. We recommend based on the tools and skills you already have, not on a preference of ours.
How long does a BI project take?
It depends on how many data sources you have and how clean they are. We give you a concrete timeline in the proposal after the free diagnostic, once we have seen your data.
My data is messy. Can you still help?
Yes. Cleaning and organizing data is part of the work. In the diagnostic we look at where your data lives and how much preparation it needs.
Do I have to change the cloud platform I use?
No. We work on Google Cloud, AWS, Oracle and IBM, and we start from what you already pay for. A change is only suggested if it clearly serves your goals.
Find out which questions your data can answer
In a free 20-minute diagnostic we review the three business questions you cannot answer quickly today and show you how a cloud dashboard would answer them. No obligation.
