GREAT REPORTING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HARD.

Tim

CAN YOU RELATE?

are you tired of wasting time with slow, incomplete and outdated reports?

are you frustrated with the time and effort it takes to be good at reporting

Shouldn't you spend more time using reports than learning to fix or build them?

I’ve been there, I know how it feels.  You want all your data in one place where you can simply drag and drop your way to the answers you need.  You want working with reports to be less frustrating and more rewarding.  You want a guide that will put you on the right path and support you when you need it.  I’m that guide.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ...

"Tim helped us solve in no time an SSIS issue we had been struggling with for a couple of days. In less than an hour we shared screens while he skillfully explained the resolution path, our call was recorded for us to use as further reference and then he shared his sample files and off we were ! Merci beaucoup Tim !"
Frank Berneron

"Tim is a Business Intelligence addict! The man lives and breathes everything database. I'm continually fascinated with his dedication to his passion. Tim is definitely passionate about Business Intelligence."
Kevin Mayse
Senior Director Operational Engineering - Lowe's
"I first heard Tim speak a few years ago at CodeStock. He presented on Date dimensions for Kimball Data Warehouse models and he knocked it out the park. Not only is Tim a gifted technologist, he's also a conscientious solutions developer. His background in database administration means Tim is thinking DevOps during the development cycle without trying - he's been there and done that, so his BI solutions are designed with support in mind. Tim possesses that great combination of strong work ethic and integrity. I recommend Tim Costello for BI project leadership and delivery."

THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO WORK WITH ME

I usually start with a complimentary data audit.  I like to start here because this gives me a feel for your data landscape and you get a comprehensive report of what your data is up to (the good AND the bad). 

Next we schedule a call and I share my initial findings and we talk about what is working for you, what you’d like to change and your wish list for future reports and dashboards.

If we find we are a fit for each other and there are projects I can help you with we next create a prioritized plan and timeline and talk about how we want to accomplish our goals together.

THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME

Daily notes documented in the tool of your choice (I use Trello by default)

Weekly written status emails to leadership team

Weekly screen share(s) with your reporting team (if one exists) to share knowledge and involve them in day to day tasks.  I want them to have an active role in every step along the way so they can continue without me after our work together ends.

Biweekly screen share / status call with the leadership and reporting teams
