Our Approach
Data Elephant was founded in 2022 to fulfill a need in the Canadian market for a dedicated and full-stack data and analytics services firm.
Our founders bring technology services experience from boutique and global consulting firms resulting in a unique engagement model and value proposition for our clients.
Our approach is to bring the deep technical expertise, flexibility, and drive to prove value quickly of a boutique firm, and combine it with the strategic thinking, proven methodology, and cross-industry experience of a global firm.
We work with organizations to implement and modernize their data infrastructure and platforms so that they can make better business decisions, and enable capabilities like self-service reporting, advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning.
