We deploy superbly well-engineered analytics platforms to businesses, bring data teams to skill levels that obliterate competitors, and do it with top-tier talent.

Most businesses are making such obvious blunders in the analytics space that they will never see any returns.

The core insight at Hermit Tech is that almost all organizational data transformations are going to fail. They are, frankly speaking, being performed by teams that have pivoted into the area because it is popular, and they do not have the engineering discipline or philosophy to make them succeed. The current cycle of investment has been so breathtakingly ineffective that Gartner analysts have speculated that the role of Chief Data Officer will cease to exist if things do not change. There are no winners here other than vendors.

We envision a better way.

Enter Hermit Tech.

We provide one very simple service. When you work with us, you provide us a weekly rate to embed two of our directors in your organization. No second-rate bait-and-switch tactics. You get two of our directors, who will also be excellent programmers, that will personally handle all communications and labour. They’ll work alongside your executives and technical staff to deliver world-class analytics solutions. We do this in three stages.

  1. Deploy Infrastructure

We join your team, and in the first week, we use templates that we’ve developed in-house to produce an end-to-end analytics stack. In simpler terms, we set up the tools you need to collect all the data you have in one place, the tools needed to analyze them, and the tools needed to make the data available to the business. And it’s all stuff your competitors aren’t using because it’s too sophisticated for them. We’d never use PowerBI because it’s bad for many reasons, and the great news is that your competition largely isn’t even good enough to tell you what’s wrong with it.

2. Run Operations

Once the infrastructure is up, we work as your analytics team. For many organizations, this will be the first time that analytics work is delivered on time, to a high standard. This is accomplished through a mixture of our extremely disciplined operational practices, and through our engagements relying on executive mandates to push through blockers that internal staff are typically unable to. As we do this, we will pair program with various members of your staff to help you identify high-performers, that will carry on our practices when we depart.

3. Separation

Eventually, once the work is moving smoothly, you’ll want to transition to cheaper, permanent staff. We’ll train existing staff to adopt our practices, and in turn learn from them what works best in the context of your business. If we are the entirety of your analytics capability, then we will help you establish hiring practices and bring staff on to replace us.
