Technology Partners

Innovate with Confidence

Our Vetting Process Ensures Excellence

At its core, SME's technology vetting process is about mitigating risks and maximizing the chances of success for a given technology project or initiative. The process involves a thorough evaluation to assess their suitability and quality for the intended purpose.

Assessment of Needs and Requirements

We begin by identifying the problem or opportunity that the technology aims to tackle. We then establish clear requirements, outlining the specific features, capabilities, and functionalities needed to address those needs.

Bake Off and
Evaluations

We evaluate the available technology solutions that could meet the identified needs and requirements. This involves researching and comparing different solutions based on criteria such as functionality, cost, reliability, security, and scalability.

Testing and
Validation

Before a technology becomes a trusted partner, we have a rigorous process in place to test and validate capabilities in real-world scenarios. This ensures that the technology meets our high standards of performance, reliability, and security.

Associate Director Qlik Center of Excellence

Johnathon Repass

Working with SME has been a wonderful experience. Their consulting services provide a wealth of knowledge and extensive expertise in the BI and data analytics space. Their relatively smaller size and quick response times makes them a great asset. I look forward to our continued partnership.

CIO of Ideal Agent

Zavier Rodriguez

We’re excited to implement SME’s technology to better integrate our disparate data and insights. Digital Transformation is not just about the technology or software, it’s about the use case and need. It includes data governance, data integrity and data trust, as well as providing data literacy and excited for SME to bridge the gap.

Pedernales Electric Cooperative, Inc.

Bobby Bryant

From the start, everyone has always been very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Whether we had questions about licensing or future product releases, we always received quick feedback. I never felt like they were ever trying to sell me anything. Their approach is consultative and they really try to get to know their clients to offer the right guidance. Through this approach, they introduced us to ThoughtSpot and we attended our first conference with them last year. I really appreciate the great work that SME does and would definitely recommend them to anybody who is looking to get a high return on their BI investment.

Luiz Amaral

I have nothing but good things to say about SME and would certainly recommend them. We have implemented Qlik throughout upper management so if the product goes down, the company stops. Even though SME is growing, I never felt any less personalized attention or commitment from them. I truly appreciate their teaming and partnership.

Hillsborough County Tax Collector
