Frequently asked questions

About WFS data consulting

What's the difference between a fixed project and consultant staffing?

Fixed project: scope, deadline and value defined in contract. WFS delivers the outcome regardless of effort — ideal for clear deliverables (DW implementation, database migration, executive dashboard). Consultant staffing: senior professionals placed in your team, under your day-to-day management, body-shop or dedicated-squad model. You pay hourly or monthly. Ideal for ongoing demand, sustainment or hybrid teams.

How much does WFS data consulting cost?

Varies with scope, seniority and duration. As reference: senior professional staffing has hourly rates aligned with SP/Curitiba data market; fixed-price data lake MVP implementation ranges from R$ 80k to R$ 250k depending on complexity; database tuning consulting is billed per 2-week sprint. Request a quote with your scenario and receive a tailored proposal within 2 business days.

How long does it take to staff a DBA or data engineer?

For common profiles (SQL Server/Oracle DBA, PySpark Data Engineer, Power BI BI Developer), the shortlist comes within 3 business days and onboarding within 5 business days. Rare specialist profiles (senior generative AI, Databricks data architect with 10+ years) can take up to 15 business days. We keep an internal pool of pre-screened talents that accelerates the process.

Does WFS deliver AI and Data Science consulting?

Yes. AI and Data Science consulting covers: business problem discovery, data prep, modeling (regression, classification, time series, NLP, deep learning, generative AI), MLOps for production (model CI/CD, drift monitoring, A/B testing), and LLM applications in corporate cases (RAG, agents, copilots). We use the leading international LLMs on the data market and open-source models. Mid, senior and specialist teams.

Which clouds do you work with?

We operate on Microsoft Azure (ADLS Gen2, Synapse, Fabric, Data Factory, Power BI), AWS (S3, EMR, Glue, Redshift, Athena, QuickSight), Google Cloud (BigQuery, Dataproc, Looker), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and on-premises environments (Hadoop, Cloudera, Databricks on-prem). Also hybrid and multi-cloud architectures.

Do you work with TOTVS, SAP and other Brazilian ERPs?

Yes. We have connectors and know-how on TOTVS Protheus, TOTVS Datasul, Senior, SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA, Oracle EBS. We do extraction to data warehouse, ERP-specific modeling, executive dashboards with KPIs adapted to the Brazilian business model (tax regime, NF-e, CFOP, chart of accounts) and integration with a cloud analytics layer.

How do you ensure security and LGPD on data projects?

All connections to production data are read-only by default. Credentials live in dedicated vaults (Azure Key Vault, AWS KMS, GCP Secret Manager or HashiCorp Vault), never in code. Automatic PII detection and masking (CPF, CNPJ, RG, email, card). AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Standard NDA, full access auditing and DPO reports. Compliant with LGPD, GDPR and SOX.

Can we run a PoC before closing a large contract?

Yes. We recommend a 2-4 week Proof of Concept (PoC) with limited scope (1-2 data sources, 1 use case) to validate technical fit, delivery quality and expected ROI. Some PoCs are free (when commercial fit is clear); others are billed with credit toward the main contract. Talk to our sales team to align the model.
