We bring your data into focus

Analytica Consulting was founded in 2015 to help organizations use data more effectively. Since then, we’ve partnered with U.S. government agencies and Fortune 500 companies to build modern data systems, streamline reporting, and apply analytics and AI to real-world challenges.

What sets us apart is our team, our approach, and our independence. Our consultants are 100% U.S.-based and combine deep technical skills with strong business acumen. We operate with a lean delivery model—no layers of overhead, just direct access to the people doing the work. And we stay technology-agnostic, giving clients objective guidance tailored to their goals, not tied to any one platform.
