Data strategy and analytics consulting for businesses ready to make decisions backed by real data.
We're vendor-agnostic and client-obsessed. Every engagement is built around your specific needs, not a pre-packaged solution.
Align your people, processes, and technology around a unified data vision. We build strategies that scale with your business and deliver measurable ROI.
Transform complex datasets into clear, actionable dashboards. We build visualizations that drive decisions.
Deep-dive surveys, behavioural analysis, and voice-of-customer programs that surface insights you can act on.
Help your team understand, trust, and leverage AI tools and modern analytics platforms to augment decision-making at every level.
We evaluate, select, and implement the right BI stack for your needs without bias toward any vendor. Best of breed and fit for purpose, not best-in-market.
Design and implement the plumbing that powers your analytics. A cost-conscious approach to scalable data pipelines.
Data Canuck is a Toronto-based data consulting firm built on the belief that every business deserves to understand its own data.
We're not a massive consultancy that assigns your project to a junior team. You get Howard — 25+ years in technical sales and leadership at Tableau, Microsoft, and Business Objects — directly working on your business and data.
We're vendor-agnostic by design. No kickbacks, no preferred platforms, no vendor relationships that compromise your outcome. Just the right solution for your specific situation.
No 6-month discovery phases. We move fast, validate early, and deliver value at every step.
A free 30-minute conversation to understand your data challenges, goals, and where you are today. No pitch, no pressure.
We audit your current data landscape: systems, gaps, opportunities, then map out a clear, prioritized path forward.
We build in short sprints, showing you progress constantly and adapting to your feedback in real-time.
We train your team, document everything, and ensure you can operate independently. We set you up to thrive without us.
Howard's assistance was instrumental in setting up our BI strategy, tool set, and processes. He helped us introduce Tableau to the Bank. His ability to simplify complex technical concepts for a business audience contributed to the success of the entire BI initiative.
Howard has been a phenomenal coach to me. Having Howard as an advisor on an RBC engagement, he saved me hundreds of hours. He is a strong leader who leverages his data insight, business acumen, and experience to coach my team to success. He challenges people to think further than they've thought before and look deeper than they've looked before. He has excellent people skills and was well respected in our organization. A true professional. He will push you and hold you accountable. I'd recommend him to anyone!
