Learn moreData analytics consulting built around the decision
Most data analytics consulting starts with the tool. We start with the decision you need to make, then build the smallest thing that supports it: a dashboard people act on, a pipeline that delivers trusted numbers on time, a business case that stands up to assurance, or a custom app that fits how you actually work.
As a Brisbane data analytics consultancy led by Dr Marco Motta, ex-Queensland Treasury and ex-Transport and Main Roads, we bring senior, hands-on data analytics consultants to every engagement, on site in South East Queensland and remotely across Australia.
The questions buyers ask us
- What does a data analytics consultancy actually do?
- A data analytics consultancy turns the data a business already has into decisions it can trust. At Motta Consulting that means four things: dashboards and reporting people act on (Tableau and Power BI), the data engineering underneath them (warehouses, pipelines and a governed semantic layer on Snowflake or Databricks), transport and government analytics, and custom business apps. We start with the decision you need to make, then build the smallest thing that supports it.
- Do you offer data analytics consulting in Brisbane?
- Yes. Motta Consulting is a Brisbane-based data analytics consultancy led by Dr Marco Motta, ex-Queensland Treasury and ex-Department of Transport and Main Roads. We work on site across Brisbane and South East Queensland, and remotely for clients across Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth.
- How much does data analytics consulting cost?
- Most first engagements are scoped as a fixed-price package over a few weeks: discovery, build and handover, so you know the cost before we start. Ongoing work is billed at a day rate or on a small monthly plan. We always scope and quote up front. Book a free consultation and we will give you a realistic range for your project.
- How are you different from a larger data analytics consulting firm?
- You work directly with senior, hands-on data analytics consultants, not a sales team that hands you to juniors. We understand the decision first, then build, and we have delivered inside Queensland Treasury and Transport and Main Roads and for Komatsu, RACQ, the City of Gold Coast and the Kirby Institute. Small enough to be fast, experienced enough to be trusted with government and enterprise data.
- Which tools do your data analytics consultants work with?
- Tableau and Power BI for dashboards and reporting; Snowflake and Databricks for data platforms; Microsoft Fabric, Azure and AWS; SQL, Python and dbt for engineering; and React and Next.js for custom apps. We recommend the tool that fits your stack and your team, not the one we feel like building.
