Business Intelligence & Analytics Consulting

We decide which reports the business actually needs, in what order, and on which platform, before anyone builds a dashboard.

Executive and operational dashboards in Tableau or Power BI, designed to answer one question fast and tuned so they load in seconds.

Tableau to Power BI, or off legacy tools like Cognos, Crystal Reports, and MicroStrategy, without losing the semantic model or user trust.

A governed self-service layer so business teams answer their own questions without spawning three conflicting versions of revenue.

Certified data sources, a business glossary, and ownership, so every dashboard reads from one agreed definition.

Analytics inside the tools your teams already work in, and white-label BI embedded in your own product.

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.

Most organizations accumulate hundreds or thousands of dashboards over time, many of which are duplicates, outdated, or unused.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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It depends on the state of your data, how many dashboards and metrics are in scope, and how much self-service you want to enable. We scope every engagement against fixed deliverables and milestones before any work starts, so you see the number before you commit. A dashboard on a clean foundation is quick; fixing the data underneath first is where most of the cost, and most of the value, sits.

Business intelligence and analytics consulting: Tableau and Power BI on clean, governed data. Dashboards leaders trust, self-service, and BI migration done right.

Tableau and Power BI consulting, workbook rationalization, and dashboard design.

We do not start by opening Tableau. We sequence the work so the dashboards land on a foundation that holds, and your team can run it after we leave.

Map the current BI estate, the data sources, and exactly where the numbers break.

Fix the data model and certify the metrics the dashboards will read from.

Design and build the dashboards in Tableau or Power BI, tuned to load in seconds.

Hand governed self-service to business teams, with training that sticks.

Set ownership and rationalization so the estate stays clean instead of sprawling again.

Dashboards are only as good as the data under them. These are the factors that move the effort.

A messy data layer needs fixing before the dashboards on top of it can be trusted.

Tableau, Power BI, or both changes the build and the enablement work.

Handing reporting to business teams with governance is more than a like-for-like build.

You want the build done on a governed foundation, not on sand.

The data layer itself is broken: start with Data Foundation.

The numbers disagree by definition: see Semantic Layer Engineering.

You want AI narrative on top of dashboards: see AI Reporting Automation.

The difference between a BI estate people trust and one they quietly work around is governance, not the tool. Here is what changes.

Not every engagement is a full BI rebuild. Pick the entry that matches where you are, and we scope from there.

A fixed-scope review of your reports, data model, and performance. You get a prioritized fix list and a scoped plan before any build begins.

A defined engagement with fixed deliverables and milestones: the semantic model, the reports, and row-level security in Tableau or Power BI. You see the number before you commit.

We run it after we build it. Report changes, performance tuning, and support on an ongoing basis so the environment stays fast and trusted.

We hand it off. Documentation, training, and pairing so your analysts build and maintain the reporting without us.

We build Tableau and Power BI environments that are fast, governed, and built on clean data. That same certified foundation is what makes your data ready for AI, so the BI you fund today is the on-ramp to the agents and automation you want next.

Analytics and BI is the work of turning governed data into dashboards leaders act on. Thinklytics builds fast, governed Tableau and Power BI environments on clean, certified data, so the reporting holds up in a meeting. That same certified foundation is what later makes your data ready for AI agents and automation.

We are Tableau and Power BI certified practitioners who build environments on top of clean, governed data. Every dashboard we deliver is fast, trusted, and maintainable by your team after we leave.

Business intelligence consulting is more than building a dashboard. It is the full path from raw source data to a report a leader acts on, and the governance that keeps it true. Here is the work, and what each part delivers.

Start with a 30-day Analytics Truth Audit. We identify exactly what is broken and give you a 90-day roadmap to fix it.
