Cost vs. a full-time Raleigh hire
The problems Raleigh teams bring us
The problem
Six trial-status spreadsheets that give different enrollment numbers
A full day of reconciliation before every sponsor update
Each project manager maintains their own spreadsheet, pulled from different snapshots of the CTMS at different times. Before every weekly sponsor call, someone spends a full day reconciling the numbers. Errors get caught — sometimes after the update is sent.
The problem
No BI analyst — and hiring one takes 3 months
Clinical ops and finance teams doing the data work instead
Raleigh BI analyst salaries run $90–130K. The hire takes 3 months minimum. In the meantime your clinical ops or finance team is pulling the data, and your analytics roadmap is frozen.
The problem
Offshore team built it, EST timezone doesn't work
Overnight lag on every urgent board or sponsor ask
Your dashboard breaks on Friday afternoon and the team that built it is 10.5 hours ahead. Monday morning your CFO is still waiting. We work EST — same time zone as Raleigh.
Not just dashboards — analytics Raleigh's life sciences and SaaS teams can act on
We connect and model your data sources — clinical trial databases, Salesforce, Veeva, SaaS product telemetry, EHR systems, or whatever your stack runs — and build the semantic model first, so every report answers real business questions rather than just displaying numbers.
The Research Triangle's life sciences and SaaS sectors have unique requirements: FDA-regulated reporting, clinical trial data governance, SaaS product analytics, and compliance-grade audit trails. We've built models in both and won't oversell what Power BI can do versus what needs an upstream data layer.
Your dashboards are built for the people who read them — the CFO sees MRR and burn, the clinical operations team sees trial enrollment and site performance, the product team sees feature adoption. One model, multiple audiences.
Pipelines stay green. Scheduled refreshes are monitored; if a Veeva API connection, a Salesforce OAuth token, or a clinical data export breaks, we fix it before your team opens a blank report on a Monday morning.
When we hand off, you own everything — .pbix files, documented semantic model, a training session. No lock-in. If you ever leave, nothing disappears.
Built for the Research Triangle's leading sectors
Can Power BI handle our clinical trial and life sciences data?
Yes. The Research Triangle is one of the world's premier life sciences clusters — IQVIA (the world's largest health data company) is HQ'd in Durham, and hundreds of CROs and biopharma companies operate across RTP. We've built Power BI models for this sector: clinical trial enrollment tracking, site performance, adverse event monitoring, and commercial launch analytics — connected to Veeva, Medidata, and Oracle Clinical, with the audit trail that FDA-regulated environments require.
We're a SaaS company — can you build MRR and product analytics dashboards?
Yes. SAS Institute in Cary is the world's largest private software company, and a growing cluster of product-led SaaS businesses — Pendo, Bandwidth, Spreedly — are scaling out of Raleigh and Durham. We build SaaS-native Power BI analytics: MRR, ARR, NRR, churn, feature adoption cohorts, and burn rate — connected to Salesforce, Stripe, Mixpanel, and Snowflake. We understand the SaaS P&L at Series B through pre-IPO scale.
We're part of Duke Health or UNC Health — can you build HIPAA-compliant dashboards?
Yes. Duke University Health System, UNC Health Care, and WakeMed form one of the country's most research-intensive healthcare clusters. We build HIPAA-aware Power BI models with row-level security so patient data only reaches authorised roles, audit logging, and no patient identifiers in cached query results. Built to scale from a single department to a system-wide deployment without a rebuild.
What Raleigh clients get on a Lets Viz engagement
Our Offerings
Data modeling & semantic layer
Star-schema models built in Power BI Desktop or Fabric, with documented relationships, calculated tables, and row-level security. Handles clinical trial data, SaaS product metrics, and healthcare records in a single unified model.
How a Research Triangle CRO replaced 6 manual trial-status reports with one live enrollment dashboard
An anonymised example from a recent engagement — same problem profile as many Triangle life sciences and clinical operations teams.
The challenge
A contract research organisation in the Research Triangle was tracking clinical trial enrollment, site activation, and protocol deviation rates across three separate spreadsheets updated by different project managers. Numbers diverged between reports, and preparing the weekly sponsor update took a full day of reconciliation.
What we built
We built a unified Power BI semantic model on top of their trial management system and Veeva CTMS, with a single consolidated enrollment feed. Site activation status, enrollment vs. target, screen-fail rates, and protocol deviations in one dashboard — refreshed daily, with role-level security separating what sponsors, site coordinators, and clinical leadership each see.
Outcomes
Built for the Research Triangle's dominant sectors
Life sciences & biotech
The Research Triangle is one of the world's premier life sciences clusters. IQVIA — the world's largest health data company — is headquartered in Durham. Syneos Health, PPD (now Thermo Fisher), and hundreds of CROs, biopharma, and medical device companies call the Triangle home. The data complexity is real: clinical trial enrollment, site performance, pharmacovigilance, regulatory submission tracking, and commercial launch analytics — all subject to FDA data governance requirements. We've built Power BI models that sit on top of Veeva, Medidata, Oracle Clinical, and proprietary data warehouses, with the audit trail and validation documentation that regulated environments require.
SaaS & tech
Red Hat (IBM) is headquartered at RTP, SAS Institute in Cary is the world's largest private software company with $3.5B in revenue, and a growing cluster of product-led SaaS companies — Pendo, Bandwidth, Spreedly, and others — are scaling out of Raleigh and Durham. These teams need SaaS-native analytics: MRR/ARR, net revenue retention, feature adoption cohorts, sales pipeline, and burn rate — all in Power BI, connected to Salesforce, Stripe, Mixpanel, and Snowflake. We've built these models and know how the SaaS P&L actually works at Series B through pre-IPO scale.
Healthcare & academic medical centers
Duke University Health System, UNC Health Care, and WakeMed form one of the country's most research-intensive healthcare clusters. These organizations generate high volumes of clinical, operational, and research data — patient cohort analytics, clinical outcomes, cost-per-episode reporting, and research enrollment dashboards. We build HIPAA-compliant Power BI models with row-level security so patient data only reaches authorised roles, built for the scale of academic medical centers that serve both clinical and research populations.
