BI consulting projects at Protocloud range from $5,000 for starter dashboard builds to $120,000+ for full enterprise data platform transformations. A typical mid-market engagement (data warehouse + dashboards + AI features) runs $20,000–$60,000. We provide a detailed fixed-price quote after the free strategy session – no hourly billing, no scope creep surprises.
Timeline depends on scope: a focused dashboard build takes 4–6 weeks; a full data warehouse with AI features takes 8–16 weeks; an enterprise BI transformation runs 3–6 months. We provide a week-by-week contractual timeline in your proposal.
We are certified in all three. Our recommendation is based on your existing tech stack, user base, and budget: Power BI for Microsoft-stack businesses; Tableau for large visualization teams; Looker for SaaS and Google Cloud users. We explain tradeoffs clearly and never recommend based on our preferred vendor.
AI adds genuine value in specific BI use cases: predictive forecasting, anomaly detection, churn prediction, and NLP query interfaces. For most small-to-mid businesses, a well-built data warehouse and clean dashboards will deliver more ROI than rushed AI features. We give you honest advice in the free strategy session.
Absolutely. Many of our best engagements are BI system audits and improvements. We assess your existing setup, identify gaps, and deliver a prioritized improvement plan. Starting from scratch is only recommended when the existing architecture is fundamentally flawed.
Every Protocloud BI engagement includes: (1) Fixed price – no surprise costs; (2) Fixed timeline – contractual delivery dates; (3) 100% source code and data ownership; (4) 3 months post-launch support; (5) Performance against agreed KPIs – if dashboards don’t meet agreed specs, we fix them at no charge within the support window.
Yes – but only if it’s built to solve a real business problem. We never recommend a BI engagement without projecting the ROI first. Our average client sees 3–5x ROI within 12 months. If we can’t show you a credible path to ROI during the free strategy session, we tell you.
Shield Guarantee: If we cannot identify a clear ROI case for your BI project in the free strategy session, we will not recommend you proceed.
We have delivered 2,500+ projects. Our on-time delivery record is 100% for fixed-timeline engagements. We use weekly sprint demos and a dedicated project manager on every engagement. If something unexpected happens, you hear about it from us first.
Shield Guarantee: Fixed timelines are contractual. Delays on our end are compensated with additional sprint days at no charge.
Every dashboard and model is spec’d against agreed KPIs before development starts. We run UAT with your team before go-live. Post-launch, 3 months of monitoring is included to catch and fix any performance issues.
Shield Guarantee: If dashboards don’t meet agreed specs post-UAT, we fix them at no additional cost within the 3-month support window.
We present wireframes and interactive prototypes for your approval before development begins. You have full design input at every stage. We don’t push our preferences – we build what works for your users.
Shield Guarantee: 2 rounds of design revisions included before development starts. No extra charge.
We have a 4.9-star Clutch rating across 800+ clients. Every engagement includes a formal sign-off process. Our 3-month post-launch support window exists specifically to resolve any issues that emerge in real-world use.
Shield Guarantee: Full source code and documentation delivered to you regardless of outcome. Your data and work product are 100% yours.
