Ways to work together

Pick the shape that fits.

Every engagement starts with a short conversation about the problem. We then agree scope, timeline and cost in writing before any work begins.

Scoped project

A defined outcome, such as a dashboard suite, an app or a governance framework, delivered to an agreed plan and fixed scope.

Best for: a clear problem with a deadline

Ongoing partner

A monthly allocation of senior time for enhancements, new reports, support and advice as your needs change.

Best for: teams without in-house BI skills

Resource augmentation

Experienced data professionals placed in your team, full-time or part-time, for a minimum of three months.

Best for: teams with a plan that need capacity

Delivery partnership

For consulting and advisory firms. We deliver the analytics workstream alongside your team, to your methods and quality standards, in full confidence.

Best for: firms that need specialist data capability
Common questions

Before you get in touch

Do I need a detailed project brief?

No. A short description of the problem is enough. Tell us what is slow, manual or unreliable, and we will help shape the scope in the first conversation.

Can you work with our existing systems?

Yes. We work with the data sources you already have, such as SQL databases, ERP exports, Excel and SharePoint, and build inside your own Microsoft 365 and Azure environment.

Do you work with consulting firms?

Yes. We act as a delivery partner to consulting and advisory firms that need specialist analytics, Power BI or Power Platform capability for their client work. We work to your methods and quality standards, and treat your client relationships in confidence.

Who owns the solution at the end?

You do. Everything is built in your tenant, documented, and handed over with training. There is no lock-in to QJ.

How do you handle confidential data?

We work within your security controls and access policies, are happy to sign confidentiality agreements, and follow the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Personal data stays in your environment.

Do you use AI in your work?

Yes, where it helps. Modern AI tools speed up work such as drafting code, documentation and testing, so you see results sooner. An expert reviews everything we deliver, and we always work within your data security policies.

How long does a typical project take?

It depends on scope. A focused dashboard can be live in a few weeks. Larger apps, migrations or governance programmes are planned in phases, so you see value early.
