The Problem Assessment How We Work Services Workshop → Data Strategy Session
Since 2007 · Birmingham, Alabama

Data platforms that give you
insight you can trust.

Most leadership teams spend more time reconciling numbers than acting on them. We design data platforms that unify your systems, clean your data, and give you reliable visibility into how your business actually performs.

Insight You Can DefendGoverned, validated data only
The Real Problem

Your decisions are only as good as your data. Every department has numbers. They just don't match.

Finance exports from one system. Operations tracks in another. Leadership sees a third version in a slide deck.

You don't have a reporting problem. You have a data foundation problem.

If your team is manually reconciling spreadsheets before every meeting, your platform is broken.

No More Spreadsheet Reconciliation

One source of truth across finance, operations, and leadership.

Built for Operational Reality

Pipelines designed around how your systems actually run.

Insight You Can Defend

Dashboards grounded in governed, validated data.

The Assessment

We examine how your data actually flows before building anything.

Five focus areas. Real systems. No assumptions.

01

How data enters your organization

Manual entry, imports, APIs, and hidden handoffs.

02

Where data breaks or duplicates

Conflicting definitions, mismatched formats, missing records.

03

How systems connect today

Exports, shadow processes, brittle integrations.

04

Where reporting creates friction

Manual prep before meetings, inconsistent KPIs, version confusion.

05

What decisions depend on this data

Operational, financial, and strategic choices at risk.

We fix the foundation first. Then we build reporting on top of something stable.

What We Deliver

Four outputs. One reliable data platform.

Confidence for your operators. Clarity for your leadership team.

Centralized, Clean Data

One governed platform that consolidates your systems.

  • Data warehouse or lake architecture
  • Normalized data models
  • Defined business logic and KPI standards
  • Governance and access controls

If your data cannot support reliable decisions, we fix that before recommending anything more advanced. You pay for clarity — not a predetermined answer.
