The consultants at Cornerstone Data work with businesses to understand the questions leaders are asking and identify the unique data required to answer those question. Then they design processes and visualizations so leaders can view that data the minute they need it – anywhere in the world. Cornerstone was founded as Cornerstone Design & Development in 2008. 

In 2015, Cornerstone won the Wichita Chamber Small Business of the Year award, at the time the smallest business ever to have received it. By 2018, the renamed Cornerstone Data, Inc. focused its services in emerging technologies for advanced analytics, data engineering, reporting, and visualizations. In 2019, Cornerstone teamed with local firm Keycentrix to launch Script MetRx, a Data-as-a-Service offering for specialty pharmacies that ingests data from the pharmacy management system and provides analysis and reporting for the enterprise. Local Cornerstone Data clients have included the Kansas Leadership Center and BKD.

During the COVID pandemic, Cornerstone Data voluntarily provided COVID analysis of data for leaders throughout Kansas and nationally – to both private and public sector leaders. They continue to provide those services more than a year later.

Specialties include: Power BI, Azure Data Factory, .NET, Azure SQL Synapse Analytics, SQL Server, Azure Analysis Services, DAX, Business Intelligence & Reporting.
