We’ve created a platform to securely connect to our client’s Microsoft cloud environment. This connection requires consent from our client during the initial setup process. What this means is that we can't access your information unless you allow us to do so. And once this connection is established, all communication is fully encrypted to further secure your information.

ITS Data Analytics is set up as a monthly agreement that includes four hours of work for every data source. A data source would be something like QuickBooks Online, a CRM application, or an online cloud application. Each of these sources is billed at $1000 per month. Any work done beyond the 4 hours is billed at $225 per hour. 

4:04 What do I need to provide you to get started with ITS Data Analytics? 

To get started with the service, we need to have a discovery meeting where we can discuss your goals and determine whether the service is a good fit for your company. From there, we need to access one of your data sources to ensure your information is accessible by our developers.  

Once we can see your information, we’ll build a mockup of the report or dashboard you’re looking to create and get your feedback on how it looks.   After your approval, we’ll start the development process.
