QuickSight is an economical, robust and scalable tool. However, like most AWS solutions, it is typically licensed and configured by IT teams. As part of the ecosystem of AWS partners, Cruz Street can ensure your organization’s IT and business unit teams are fully aligned by advising both sides. We provide IT with detailed architecture and configuration documentation while ensuring business stakeholders get actionable dashboards and insights within the timeframe they expect.
The role of a QuickSight consulting partner is to leverage deep product knowledge and past projects to smooth out implementation. Without this support, projects can suffer from the following handicaps:
It can be hard to implement QuickSight without third-party support. And even IT teams will benefit from an expert QuickSight Delivery Partner to ensure a smooth process.
CruzStreet’s QuickSight services include end-to-end data engineering as well as analytical output based on your unique organization and datatypes. We not only help you set up QuickSight — we also ensure you get the data science and analytical outcomes you need. Unlike purely technical consultants, our analysts have years of experience building dashboards and communicating insights.
Data Architecture
Whether you are migrating to QuickSight or starting from scratch, most of our work begins with data architecture. Just like a building, architectural planning ensures that the end result matches your up front vision. We will listen to your needs and work with you to design the right solution. Please ask us about any specialized requirements you may have and we’ll be happy to discuss them with you.
QuickSight Consulting
This is a great option If you have an existing QuickSight instance and just need help refining your dashboards. We can assist with field transformations, filters, parameters, calculations and other SPICE dataset refinements so your teams can get back to higher-level tasks. The work here can be about data storytelling, simplifying presentations to better meet stakeholders expectations or doing the opposite and working to unpack topline reports into more granular analyses. You can purchase buckets of our analyst hours in 10-hour increments.
QuickSight Prototyping
Cruz Street has a full-SaaS QuickSight Prototyping tool called DashProphet. This allows you to load or connect to data and see fully QuickSight Dashboards live within minutes. You can even share them with colleagues with unlimited viewers. Schedule a demo to see it in action.
Data Science on Demand
Sometimes you just need a quick, small set of data cleaned, joined or analyzed. Based on your needs, you’ll be paired with one of our analysts or data scientists. We are fluent in many tools from Python to DAX and descriptive deep-dives to predictive models. You can purchase buckets of our analyst hours in 10-hour increments.
Our work is structured to allow you to understand an end-state but contract incrementally. We will work with you up front to structure deliverables, milestones and timelines as much as possible. We can engage in a small discovery project, if needed, to allow us to better guide you on final outcomes and dependencies.
AWS ensures its partners have the certifications and training required to ensure project success. Whether you use Cruz Street or another consulting firm, we recommend you select one that is within the Amazon Partner Network.
QuickSight is the Amazon Web Services (AWS) dashboarding tool that is part of the AWS suite of cloud solutions to store, transform and visualize data.
QuickSight can summarize many kinds of data including ecommerce, product, engagement, customer feedback, financial, health and many more. By grouping, filtering and sorting data, users can view trends over time. Anomalies from the average can help stakeholders understand and address positive and negative shifts in key performance indicators.
Businesses are turning to QuickSight to avoid expensive per-user costs of Tableau, Looker & PowerBI as well as the speed provided by the in-memory SPICE datasets that power dashboards. In short, it beats the competition because it is economical and fast.
Top benefits of QuickSight include speed, usage-based-pricing and the fact that it is backed and supported by the industry-leading AWS development team.
QuickSight is a great solution for the last part of the data pipeline. It can be used by technical teams to help prepare data and non-technical stakeholders to view the final output of data projects.
Consultants like Cruz Street help ensure that QuickSight is configured to meet the objectives of business leaders viewing data. Typically a QuickSight project will include initial discovery with a client to validate project assumptions, provide initial budget and time estimates, discuss an architectural approach, ensure data is ready for dashboarding, configure a connection and, if needed, data scientists and analysts to build dashboards.
