In professional services, every decision matters—and so does every data point. For BigTime customers, making the most of your data just got easier.
Introducing BigTime Data Hub: a powerful, centralized data layer that brings together project and financial data from BigTime and Foresight. This application eliminates reporting bottlenecks, streamlines analysis, and lays the foundation for a smarter, AI-powered future.
Why Data Still Feels So Hard
Endless Excel files, fragmented data sources, and disconnected systems – these common issues continue to make data analytics feel more like a burden than a breakthrough. As a result, managers often face persistent challenges such as:
- Hours spent manually compiling data from multiple platforms for further analysis in 3rd party analytics platforms
- Uncertainty about data accuracy or update frequency
- Rigid, inflexible reports that don’t match your business’s needs
With so many obstacles, it’s no wonder data analytics is often seen as a barrier rather than a benefit. But with the introduction of BigTime Data Hub, that’s about to change.
Introducing Data Hub
BigTime Data Hub is a unified data and reporting platform that gives you complete access to your BigTime data for easier analysis, enabling you to generate the reports your business needs with confidence.
The platform centralizes access to your BigTime and Foresight data. That means no more jumping between tools or cobbling together insights from multiple systems. Everything you need is in one place, giving your team a single source of truth to rely on.
This isn’t just a reporting tool—it’s a foundation. By getting the data right, we’re making it easier for both leaders and team members to trust their numbers, spot opportunities, and act quickly. With this approach, you can create reports in your 3rd party analytics tool of choice within seconds, analyze project profitability and make smarter staffing and forecasting decisions.
