Consulting ...

Can mean anything from advising to doing all the work, working with you as a team member to providing the complete solution.

And i t depends on what you need, want, already have, timelines, budgets and even business politics.

Ok, so that describes probably every project you've ever been a part of. When a Business Intelligence project lands at my feet fully scoped, specified and documented, we ... um ...that's never happened.

So what DO I do?

Listen. Hear when a process or data is causing miscommunication, misinterpretation, delays, frustration.

• "I'm spending 18 hours each month retrieving data from one cube and putting it into another"
  
• "He has all the business logic locked in his head, and we're worried about the day he moves on"
  
• "Each year, we send out 50 workbooks to our reps. We receive back multiple versions and need to consolidate them into one, cohesive budget"
  
• "I ask my analyst a question, and it takes days for her to gather and analyze the data before I get my answer"

I can work with you to define your project. And how the a solution is implemetned goes back to, er, it depends! Flexibility is key ... onsite or remote, full-time or part-time, a single consultant or working with multiple ones, be the whole solution or part of something bigger.

The successful project uses our skills and knowledge:

• In business intelligence and technologies,
  
• In the ablility to understand and incorporate the processes within and surrounding the project's scope, and
  
• In the ability to communicate effectively.

Technology + Process + People = Successful Project
