About Project X

We work with clients to solve problems and gain insight through the use of data and analytics. Our clients give us their most challenging situations. No problem is too big or small for our team.

Every day at Project X is a call to address our clients challenges. That\'s the life of a team of trusted advisors creating data and analytics solutions for complex client problems. We do this through collaboration, creativity and an innate desire to solve tough data problems.

Data is our core DNA. What makes Project X unique is our custom methodology that delivers results rapidly and allows our teams creativity to solve the problems we\'re trusted to work on. This, paired with the fact that data runs deep in our veins and is what makes up who we are, individually and as a team, allows us to do the work we\'re passionate about. It is the foundation that translates into a common understanding, a way of being, that is apparent not just to us at Project X, but to our clients.
