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. Your outcome, not our commission.
Most BI vendors have partners who are incentivized to recommend their platform regardless of fit. We don't. Having spent years on the inside at Tableau, Microsoft, and Business Objects, Howard knows exactly how these tools are sold — and what the sales pitch leaves out.
We start with your real requirements: team size, data volumes, technical capacity, budget, integration needs, and growth plans. Then we evaluate the options that genuinely fit — not the ones with the best marketing decks.
You walk away with a clear recommendation you can trust, a procurement guide, and implementation support if you need it.
Deep visual analytics, best-in-class for complex exploration. Howard has worked inside Tableau — we know exactly where it shines and where it struggles.
Strong value for Microsoft shops. Best when deeply integrated with Office 365 and Azure. Licensing complexity is real — we help you navigate it.
Excellent semantic layer capabilities. Best for companies with engineering resources who want a centralized data model. Overkill for smaller teams.
Lightweight, fast to deploy, loved by ops teams. Ideal for companies that want self-service analytics without a full BI investment.
Excel-familiar interfaces over cloud data warehouses. Reduces the training burden for finance and ops teams.
Qlik, Domo, ThoughtSpot, Mode, and others — each has a specific niche. We evaluate what's right for your context, not what's trending.
We document your data sources, user personas, decision-making patterns, and technical constraints — the real criteria for selection.
We narrow the field to 2–3 genuine candidates and run them through a structured evaluation with your actual data and use cases.
We build real working prototypes in the top options — so you're deciding based on evidence, not demos crafted by the vendor's pre-sales team.
We guide you through vendor negotiation and build your implementation plan — with or without ongoing support from us.
Enterprise BI contracts are multi-year commitments. Choosing wrong means years of frustration and a painful migration.
The right tool for your team gets adopted quickly. The wrong one sits unused while your data team fields complaints.
We structure your implementation to preserve optionality — so switching vendors later doesn't mean starting from scratch.
A structured selection process creates buy-in across IT, finance, and business teams — reducing post-launch resistance.
Licensing, implementation, training, and maintenance — we model the real cost, not just the headline price.
We size the solution for where your business is going, not just where it is today — avoiding a forced re-evaluation in 12 months.
