Excel Errors
Every month you labour endlessly to analyse your data in Excel. Hunting down circular references, broken formulas and formatting graphs and charts seems to be a task which never ends. 
Profitability Problems
Each months sales are not meeting budget, costs are increasing or profitability is declining. But you have no idea how to find out what is causing the problem. Or you simply want to consistently generate more profit!
Customers Concerns
Customers are leaving or not becoming repeat buyers and you have no idea why. Advertising costs are increasing, but customers just aren't converting. 
Data Overload
To get the full picture of your business you need to spend hours opening  and analysing data from a range of different applications. And even then, you aren't sure if the numbers are correct, make sense or how to come up with a plan to take action on problem areas and opportunities.

FAQs

Click on the questions to display the answer
Good question! For starters, the annual cost of a full-time, senior-level data engineer now exceeds $140,000, plus benefits (and good luck finding one available).

Aside from that, you may not always have enough work to keep them busy at all times, so you're stuck paying for time you aren't able to utilize.

With my pricing plans, you can pause and resume your subscription as often as you need to ensure you're only paying your developer when you have work available for them.

But if you do decide that you are ready to hire your first full-time data engineer, you can get access to my Your First Data Hire Recruitment Pack for free.
Data is a constantly evolving asset in every business. The data that you ingest today is not static and will change over time, resulting in what are often called "data bugs" or "data drift". Having someone who can review pipeline alerts and failures and resolve them quickly is a key ingredient to the long term success of becoming a data driven business. 
You can make as many requests as you'd like. They can be as simple as adding a new metric to a dashboard or as complex as ingesting a new data source, modelling the data and displaying it in a dashboard.

The only limitation is that you can only have one request in progress at a time.

Each request will be delivered as quickly as possible, without compromising on quality.
This depends on the request.

Some requests are simple and can be delivered as quickly as 1-2 days. Others may be more complex and require significant planning and development and could span the course of several weeks.

Once you make a request, I will review the details and provide you with an estimated time to delivery. Unfortunately, iin most cases, I cannot provide a definitive delivery date as unforeseen complications can arise at many points during the development process.
Absolutely! If you choose not to opt for a maintenance or ongoing development plan, I will do a full handover to you and your team. The goal is to get you up and running as quickly as possible and successfully unlocking your data. Not to lock you into lengthy contracts.
The pricing only includes the cost of my time to develop and deliver the agreed deliverables. In addition, you will need to pay for the ongoing usage of the data infrastructure.

How much does that cost? Well, it depends. It depends on the volume of data being processed each month, the tools and technology that we choose together, how often you use dashboards and so on.

But in my experience it's best to start small and scale up from there. A minimal deployment suitable for most simple use-cases can cost as little at $100-$200 per month. 
I create your modern data stack using a standard set of modern data tools. However, no business is the same and I won't force or suggest to use tools which do not meet your specific needs, or scale in the future. So this will be discussed and agreed with you in advance.

Some of the common technologies that I recommend to implement include:Where possible, I always recommend open source tools, as this can help reduce costs and minimise vendor lock in. All tools recommended are also designed to minimise your initial cost, whilst being flexible enough to easily scale with your business. 

Still not sure?

No pressure. Feel free to book a free call to see if we are a good fit for one another.
