Does this sound like you?

Business is booming & leadership now wants to do more with data.

Yet your "analytics" are stuck in the spreadsheet era.

You spend way too much time:

  1. Manually pulling data
  2. Tweaking formulas
  3. Wrestling with inconsistencies

You know a centralized, automated data architecture would make analytics much more efficient, organized & scalable.

But without prior experience, setting it all up feels daunting.

You've outgrown the Starter Database.

You create random tables & procedures without any real structure.

It gets the job done (for now), but you know it's not scalable. 

How will you tie in everything else in your business?

  • Operations
  • Human Resources
  • Accounting
  • and more

And what if you want deeper insights and more control?

You'll eventually hit a data bottleneck.

How many scenarios do you wish you could explore, but cant?

With a more modern data infrastructure, anything is possible.

A well-structured data architecture, unlocks your ability to:

  1. Establish a reliable single-source of truth for metrics
  2. Automate an end-to-end process with you in control
  3. Leverage data to grow the business, not to be a pain point.

But setting up this type of infrastructure is complex.

And how can you be sure it's not just reliable, but following best practices?

Retail E-Commerce Company Adds More Structure & Reveals Most Profitable Products

Managing multiple online stores is challenging and having good insights is crucial to keeping it under control.

That's why the lone IT leader tried building a new central database on his own.

But it lacked a formal structure and was missing a clear strategy.

So we worked together to pick the right tools, establish a complete workflow & automate the whole process.

Now, they have a well-designed architecture and a more robust reporting suite that's helped them identify the top performing stores & products.

Healthcare Services Company Consolidates Data & Eliminates Manual Steps

Providing admin support for 8 unique dental practices results in a lot of repetitive tasks.

Especially when it requires logging into separate systems and manually extracting results to see the full picture. 

But now with a new process using modern tools, they automatically extract all of their isolated data each day and store it in a central cloud database.

Not only has this freed up significant time, but has opened up new possibilities for analytics and better service for their customers.

Cosmetics Brand Replaces Pre-Built Dashboards & Unlocks Deeper Insights

Many pre-built SaaS analytics tools make it easy to connect to common platforms & generate simple dashboards.

It's great for getting started but quickly becomes limited as you want to dive deeper or add customization.

This CEO not only wanted more customization for this particular brand, but saw an opportunity for scaling the process into new ones using data.

So we implemented a new, fully-owned architecture that replaced the pre-built tools & unlocked more advanced ways to analyze the business.

They've even updated their manufacturing process to capture more data knowing it will flow through to reporting.

Hi, my name is Michael Kahan

I'm a data consultant, creator of The Simple Stack Playbook & founder of The Modern Data Community.

You can also find me on YouTube (32K+ subs, 3M+ views) sharing data engineering tutorials & best practices.

Over the past decade, I've built & maintained over a dozen data architectures at start-ups to Fortune 100 companies.

Teams love modern data tools for how quickly they can get started but often end up overwhelmed, or worse, making a mess.

But with a clear strategy, hands-on support and an end-to-end example to follow, your data-life becomes much easier.

There are plenty of consulting firms that help large enterprises, but I only work with data teams of 5 or less.

So if that sounds like you and you want to fast-track your new data architecture, I'd love to help!
