What Senturus does

Senturus Inc. is a US-based data and AI consulting firm founded in 2001 and headquartered in Burlingame, California. The company delivers end-to-end Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and AI services to mid-market and Fortune 500 enterprises, with deep specialization in modernizing legacy IBM Cognos estates onto Microsoft Fabric. Beyond professional services, Senturus has developed two proprietary software products: the Migration Assistant for Cognos, an automated tool that inventories and accelerates Cognos-to-Fabric report migration, and Envisor Open FinOps, a sister-company cloud cost management platform built natively on Microsoft Fabric and Power BI.

The firm operates on a professional services revenue model with multi-year contracts, retainer-based expert staffing, and short-term project engagements, supplemented by instructor-led training (Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, Cognos, Tableau) and software sales tied to migration and FinOps engagements. Senturus has held Microsoft partner status since 2004 (20 years) and IBM Cognos partner status since 2001 (23 years), with additional practices across Snowflake and Databricks, positioning it as a stack-agnostic, multi-platform advisor. The senior consultant bench, with average 15+ years of BI experience and backgrounds at Visa, Kaiser Permanente, Apple, Cisco, IBM, and Tableau, is a central differentiator.

Across 22+ years in operation, Senturus has delivered 500,000+ consulting hours to 1,350+ clients across 3,000+ projects, with a 100% guarantee on all work. Customer logos span healthcare (Kaiser Permanente, UCSF, Pfizer, Genentech, CRC Health), financial services (Visa, Wells Fargo, Franklin Templeton, Houlihan Lokey), technology (SAP Concur, Intuit, Mozilla), consumer (Disney, Patagonia, Dole), manufacturing (Daimler), and government (State of Utah, US Air Force). The company remains founder-owned and bootstrapped under CEO John Peterson.
