What WCI Consulting does

WCI Consulting, operating legally as WCI Data Solutions, is a US-based data analytics and business intelligence consulting firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Plano, Texas, with additional offices in Arlington (Washington DC), Los Angeles, Brooklyn (New York), and Chicago. The company is a privately-held subsidiary of Asaph Ventures, a family of technology-focused companies, and serves enterprise and mid-market clients across healthcare, financial services, media, manufacturing, distribution, real estate, and public sector. WCI's core offering is a portfolio of consulting service lines rather than a software product, organized around Data Management Consulting (data strategy, governance, MDM, integration, data lakes, warehouse modeling, big data, cleansing, cloud data management) and Business Intelligence and Analytics consulting (BI strategy, executive dashboards, KPI reporting, data visualization, predictive analytics). Platform-specific practices span AWS, Microsoft Azure, Power BI, Azure Fabric, Databricks, Snowflake, SAP BusinessObjects, Tableau, Qlik, Boomi, MuleSoft, and Talend. WCI is an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner and a Microsoft partner, and has begun offering AI Data Management Services that prepare client data for machine learning, LLM, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workloads.

The firm's business model is professional services consulting delivered by 100% US-based senior data architects and BI consultants. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales that begins with a free half-day on-site or virtual discovery session (valued up to $5,000 in the industry), followed by project-based assessment, strategy, implementation, and ongoing managed support retainers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. WCI sells directly to enterprise organizations through relationship-driven engagements, frequently co-delivering with client internal teams and emphasizing knowledge transfer. Marketing is primarily content-driven, anchored on a public Learning Center, case studies, and the free discovery session as the principal lead generation mechanism. The company employs 11-50 people and has been in continuous operation for more than 25 years, growing from small-business clients to Fortune 500 enterprise relationships, and has executed at least one inorganic expansion through the 2018 acquisition of HingePoint.
