Data lives in silos
Finance, operations, and IT each keep their own extract. Nothing reconciles, and nobody owns the gap between them.
Data Engineering & Analytics Consulting
Your data already holds the answer. Ecce Insights brings scattered, disagreeing data sets together into one source of truth, then turns it into analytics your teams actually make decisions with.
The problem
Most organizations do not have a data shortage. They have a data agreement problem. Reports get rebuilt by hand every month, definitions drift between departments, and the meeting turns into a debate about whose spreadsheet is right instead of what to do next.
Finance, operations, and IT each keep their own extract. Nothing reconciles, and nobody owns the gap between them.
Skilled analysts spend the first week of every month copying, pasting, and reconciling instead of analyzing.
By the time everyone trusts the number, the window to act on it has already closed.
What we do
Engineering builds the foundation. Analytics makes it useful. Ecce Insights delivers both, so the pipeline and the insight are never someone else's problem to chase down.
The foundation that makes trustworthy analytics possible, built to run quietly without anyone watching it.
Reporting that answers the question behind the question, and holds up when leadership pushes back on it.
A clear-eyed read on your current data estate, the gaps that matter, and a sequenced plan to close them.
One agreed set of definitions and one place they live, so every team's number reconciles by construction.
Senior guidance for teams that need direction and standards more than another set of hands.
How it works
No twelve-month discovery phase. Each step produces something you can use before the next one starts.
Understand the decisions you are trying to make and where the current numbers break down. The business question comes before the architecture.
Bring the disparate sources together, reconcile the definitions, and agree on what each metric actually means.
Replace the manual monthly assembly with pipelines that refresh themselves and flag their own failures.
Hand over the documentation, the standards, and a team that can run it. The engagement ends. The capability stays.
Outcomes
Not "whose number is right." The reconciliation argument disappears, because there is only one number.
The hours that went into assembling the report go into interpreting it instead. That is where the value was all along.
Documented, automated pipelines do not walk out the door when the person who built the spreadsheet does.
When the number holds up to scrutiny every single time, people stop quietly keeping their own private copy.

Who you will work with
Insights Leader, Ecce Insights LLC
David has spent more than 25 years turning messy enterprise data into decisions, first at Microsoft, then at Amazon, and now for his own clients. The throughline is the same idea Ecce Insights is built on: bring disparate data sets into a central source of truth, then make it tell the business something it did not already know.
At Amazon he managed data engineering for Devices & Services Finance and led the common reporting platform behind the Devices business: one set of numbers, drawn from many sources, serving teams across the company. At Microsoft he ran worldwide retail revenue planning and forecasting, and built the first data quality metrics for MS Sales.
That mix is deliberate. Enough finance to know which number actually matters, and enough engineering to build the thing that produces it.
