You can teach tools in a month, but you cannot teach analytic skill.


You need one guy with the skill to write a bit of code and a hundred more to do the legwork of plumbing it into the source data for each customer. The latter is what you bill for, and it's commoditized (e.g. "FTP a CSV file from here, run this program, FTP the resulting PDF to the webserver then email the customer to say its done").


Yes, in a month that is. Of course deep understanding of analytics takes time, but it can be learned (but not within a month).
