Cloud BI is a specialist data and analytics consultancy established in 2018 by Ali Sharifi, focused on helping organisations design and deliver practical modern data solutions.
Cloud BI was established to provide focused support across modern data platforms, reporting, and analytics. The company works with organisations looking for clearer reporting, stronger data foundations, and practical solutions aligned to real business needs.
From report development through to data warehouse and lakehouse implementation, Cloud BI brings a practical and delivery-focused approach to modern data and analytics work.
Cloud BI is backed by hands-on consulting experience across different areas of data and analytics, including reporting, semantic modelling, data engineering, data warehouse design, and lakehouse implementation.
The company’s consulting background includes work delivered across a range of organisations, including Duncan Solutions, Woolworths Group, Gold Property Partners, QBE Insurance, and Agile Insights in a subcontracting capacity.
This experience has helped shape Cloud BI’s practical approach to architecture, reporting, and platform delivery across Microsoft and cloud data environments.
