Business Intelligence Companies & Consultants in Biddeford, ME

ATX Advisory Services is a software and data consulting firm based in Biddeford, Maine. It works mainly with mid-sized organizations that have outgrown their first systems and need help choosing, connecting and getting value from business software. Buyers looking for business intelligence help will find a firm that treats reporting and analytics as part of a wider plan covering processes, systems and organization, not as a stand-alone dashboard project.

Services and products

The firm's work falls into four practice areas: technology advisory, software implementation, data and analytics, and AI and automation. Alongside consulting, ATX offers its own analytics products under the Caliper name. These are a general Caliper BI offering and two industry editions, one for construction firms and one for community development financial institutions. ATX also lists BuildOps and Salesforce among the platforms it supports.

• Technology strategy and software selection advisory
• ERP and business application implementation, including cloud migrations
• Data integration that pulls information from separate systems into one place
• KPI reporting and analytics delivered through the Caliper products
• AI and process automation projects

Client testimonials on the company's site show what this looks like in practice. One CDFI says Caliper cut the time needed to assemble KPI reports by half. Another says the firm consolidated program data so that staff can produce reports almost instantly. Other clients describe ATX choosing software without being tied to a particular vendor, keeping an outside ERP implementer accountable, and setting up integrations that feed NetSuite with properly structured data.

Industries served

ATX focuses on a defined set of sectors where its people have built up specific experience:

• Construction and facilities
• CDFIs and impact finance
• Credit unions and community banks
• Emerging markets
• Higher education
• Manufacturing
• Nonprofits
• Professional services

Background and approach

Management consultants founded ATX in 2013 with the aim of giving mid-sized companies a wide range of advisory services, the kind usually linked with large consultancies, while the firm's partners stay directly involved in each engagement. Mark DiGiovanni is Managing Partner, and Jon Decowski is a partner.

The leadership team also includes a COO and directors who lead the construction and analytics work. The client services group includes consulting managers, solution architects and technical consultants, and an administrative team supports them. ATX recently bought a headquarters building in Biddeford, acquired RHA Banking, and has been named to the Inc. 5000 two years running.

The firm also gives away 5% of its profits as part of its commitment to positive community impact, which is one of the five values it set at its founding.

The company describes its approach as collaborative and long-term. It looks at strategy, organizational structure, business processes and the technology environment together, so that analytics work sits on a sound operational base. For organizations that want both a reporting product and the advisory capacity to put it in place, ATX offers both, along with sector-specific experience in construction and community finance.
