Specialized Offerings
Legacy MSBI to Cloud Migration
The Challenge:
Your legacy SQL Server, SSIS, SSRS, and SSAS stack is:
- Expensive to maintain and scale
- Limiting your ability to innovate
- Lacking modern capabilities (real-time, AI-ready)
My Solution:
Proven migration methodology that minimizes risk and downtime:
- Assessment - Inventory current state, dependencies, complexity
- Roadmap - Phased migration plan with clear milestones
- Quick Wins - Migrate high-impact, low-risk components first
- Validation - Parallel runs to ensure accuracy
- Cutover - Smooth transition with rollback plan
- Optimization - Post-migration performance tuning
Typical Timeline: 3-6 months
Investment Range: $40K - $150K (depending on complexity)
Real-Time Data Streaming
The Challenge:
Your business needs real-time insights, but your current architecture is batch-based
My Solution:
Design and implement streaming architectures using:
- Azure Event Hubs / Kafka
- Azure Stream Analytics / Databricks Streaming
- Real-time dashboards and alerts
Common Use Cases:
- IoT sensor data processing
- Financial transaction monitoring
- Supply chain event tracking
- Customer behavior analytics
Typical Timeline: 2-4 months
Investment Range: $25K - $80K
Data Governance & Quality
The Challenge:
Data quality issues undermine trust and AI initiatives
My Solution:
Implement comprehensive data governance:
- Data catalog & metadata management
- Quality monitoring & validation rules
- Master data management (MDM)
- Compliance frameworks (GDPR, SOC 2)
Results:
- Increased data trust and adoption
- Reduced errors and rework
- AI-ready data foundation
Typical Timeline: 2-3 months
Investment Range: $20K - $60K

Pricing Philosophy
Why I Don't Bill by the Hour
Traditional hourly billing creates misaligned incentives:
- You want efficiency; contractors get paid more for taking longer
- You want strategic thinking; hourly billing rewards task execution
- You want outcomes; hourly billing measures inputs
My Approach: Value-Based Pricing
I price based on:
- The business value we're unlocking
- The complexity of the challenge
- The strategic importance to your organization
This means:
- Fixed-price projects with clear scope
- Retainers with committed deliverables
- Outcome-based success metrics
Result: We're both incentivized toward the same goal—your success.
