FAQs

Everything you need to know about the services and billing.

What services does your consultancy offer?

We focus on what really matters: delivering BI solutions, data engineering, and custom data applications that drive results. Whether it's getting Omni Analytics up and running, helping you optimize Looker, or building out a strong data warehouse, we make sure you're set up for success. We also offer staff augmentation and ongoing support if you need extra hands on deck.

What is semantic modeling in BI?

Semantic modeling creates a consistent layer of business logic that everyone can trust. Instead of scrambling for the right metric or definition, we help your team use a single source of truth for reporting, so your insights are always accurate and reliable.

How do you approach data warehouse implementations?

We start by understanding what you really need. Then, we design data warehouses that are scalable and efficient, using the right mix of technologies to get the best performance without unnecessary complexity. From setting up ETL pipelines to modeling and reporting, we ensure your system is built to last.

What is a data application, and why do I need one?

A data application turns your raw data into something actionable. Whether it's real-time dashboards, automated reports, or interactive tools, we design applications that help you get to the insights that matter fast. These apps fit right into your workflow, saving you time and making better decisions easier.

What is your support model?

We offer support in three ways: retainer-based, time and materials, or fixed bids—whatever works best for you. We usually recommend retainer-based support for flexibility and getting the most value over time, but we’re flexible depending on your project needs.
