    Ager BI were approachable and easy to partner with in building the required solution.  Lee Ager provided advice and guidance on architecting and configuring our BI environment towards best practices, with scalability and manageability a priority.  They also helped our resident data engineer modernize his knowledge, enabling him to develop and manage the environment into the future with good confidence and competence.  Lee's communication was excellent, and was able to make himself available when needed to assist when our engineer got stuck or needed advice to move forward.  I wish all contractor engagements were this way!

    I have known Lee for many years and have worked with him on several high profile projects and found him to be the “go to person” for scoping out complex and detailed analysis, especially setting up those BI related dashboard analytical tables. I do admire his expertise and approachable manner. Highly recommend his input on any type of analytical and BI work.

  • Surf Life Saving TestimonialWe had been struggling with the reliability of an Azure Data Factory (ADF) pipeline syncing our SQL Server database to our Snowflake data repository. This lack of reliability was causing issues for our organisation with significant delays in our reporting. We contacted AGER BI to help - Lee responded immediately and made the whole engagement an efficient and pleasurable experience. AGER BI quickly diagnosed the root problems within our ADF data flows, optimized our processing setup, and resolved the underlying connector and schema issues in a timely and professional manner. Thanks to the expertise of AGER BI, our data pipeline is not only running seamlessly but is now a far more robust and configurable system, allowing visibility and granular control that we didn't have previously. Beyond the technical knowledge of Azure, SQL Server, and Snowflake, Lee is an exceptional communicator who kept our team informed every step of the way via responsive and informative emails and digital meetings. I highly recommend AGER BI to anyone requiring business intelligence expertise. We at Surf Life Saving look forward to working with AGER BI again in the future.John Lowry Business Intelligence Team Leader Surf Life Saving Australia

    Lee at AGER BI delivered in 8 weeks a Microsoft Fabric and data solution that most businesses would consider a multi-year undertaking. The work was built to serve our clients, a major Australian retailer and their supplier network, an environment that comes with enormous expectations and highly sensitive commercial data obligations. Lee handled every aspect of it with complete professionalism and precision.Lee is technically exceptional. His command of Fabric and data solutions is impressive, but what separates him from others we've worked with is the attitude he brings to it. He works hard, does whatever it takes, and doesn't cut corners. Deadlines are met, budgets are respected, and there are never any hidden surprises. What's scoped is what's delivered.Beyond the technical capability, Lee genuinely cares about his clients. He takes the time to understand your business, your data challenges, and what you're actually trying to achieve and then he goes and delivers it. Every time.If you're looking for a data and BI partner who combines rare technical depth with real integrity and a relentless work ethic, Lee at AGER BI is the one. We can't recommend him highly enough.
