Most organizations can establish a foundational cloud data warehouse in 4 to 8 weeks. Timelines depend on data volume, system complexity, integration needs, and internal responsiveness. L2 typically starts with core ingestion and governance setup, then incrementally builds out pipelines, reporting layers, and AI readiness based on business priorities.

Industry Fit

Do you only work with healthcare organizations?

A:

Read More

No. While we have a strong track record and deep expertise in healthcare, our solutions apply across industries. We've solved operational workflow problems relevant to anyone using the platforms we support. Healthcare is a sweet spot, not a limitation.

Integrations

Q:

Do you work with systems outside your core platforms?

How does L2 pricing work?

A:

Read More

We offer different pricing models based on how involved you want us to be. If it's a build-and-handoff engagement, we typically charge a one-time project fee. If you'd like our team to maintain and support the system long-term, we offer a subscription-based model. This flexibility allows us to align with your operational and financial needs.

Project Delivery

Q:

What happens after the project is done? Do we own the work?

A:

Read More
