Frequently asked questions

Do you work with Tableau, Power BI, or both?

We are certified in both Tableau and Power BI and work with whichever platform your organization uses. We also help organizations that need to migrate from one to the other or rationalize a mixed environment.

What is workbook rationalization?

Most organizations accumulate hundreds or thousands of dashboards over time, many of which are duplicates, outdated, or unused. Workbook rationalization is the process of auditing your entire BI environment, retiring redundant content, consolidating overlapping reports, and dramatically improving performance and governance.

Can you improve performance without replacing our platform?

Yes. In most cases, poor dashboard performance is caused by inefficient data models, unoptimized extracts, or poorly structured queries, not the BI platform itself. We fix the root cause rather than recommending an expensive platform replacement.

What does self-service analytics enablement look like?

We design a governed self-service layer that gives business users the ability to explore data independently without creating metric inconsistencies. This includes certified data sources, a business glossary, and training programs tailored to your team.

What is business intelligence consulting?

Business intelligence consulting is the work of turning a company's raw data into reports and dashboards leaders can act on, plus the governance that keeps those numbers trustworthy. In practice it spans BI strategy, data modeling, dashboard design in tools like Tableau and Power BI, self-service enablement, and metric certification. The goal is one trusted source of truth, not another dashboard nobody believes.

What does a business intelligence consultant do?

A business intelligence consultant diagnoses why your reporting is slow, contradictory, or unused, then fixes the root cause: the data model, the metric definitions, and the dashboards on top. We build the BI environment, tune it for performance, put governance behind the numbers, and train your team to run it. The person who scopes the work is the person who does it.

How is business intelligence different from data analytics?

Business intelligence is mostly about what happened and why, delivered as governed dashboards and reports people use to run the business day to day. Data analytics is broader and includes the modeling and predictive work that looks forward. They sit on the same foundation: a clean, certified data layer. We build both, and start with the BI layer because it is what leadership reads every day.

Which BI tools do you work with?

Tableau and Power BI are our core, and we are certified in both. We also work with organizations on Looker, Qlik, and legacy tools like Cognos, Crystal Reports, and MicroStrategy, usually to migrate off them. We are vendor-neutral: we recommend the tool that fits your stack and your team, not the one we would rather sell.
