First San Francisco Partners (FSFP) is a data consulting firm. All we do is data — all data, all the time.
Our senior consultants have an average of 20 years’ experience to guide you along the data journey as your organization builds, strengthens and operationalizes key capabilities to leverage data as a competitive advantage.
Wherever you are in your data journey — tackling digital transformation, (multi)cloud migration and optimization, data privacy, data mastery and everything in between — we meet you where you’re at and help you navigate and accelerate a path to achieve your future state data vision.
From beginning to end, we singularly focus on delivering solutions that are right for a company’s culture. We pair our services with organizational change and impact initiatives to ensure our strategies, implementations, programs and data-centric project methodologies are practical and sustainable.
Our Work
First San Francisco Partners was incredibly effective in helping our team articulate and gain executive buy-in to a successful data strategy. They rapidly brought together a team of subject matter experts to validate and apply best practices in all areas of data governance, data quality and data architecture.

Holistic approach — focus on people/culture change and volume of experience to fine-tune a strategy which fits our organization for long-term success.

What’s the Difference Between Information Management and Data Management?
By Kelle O'Neal
Make the case for a predictive and self-service data quality tool
Every organization needs high-quality data, but many struggle with what's required to assure and maintain quality data. Talking about quality issues and management can be overwhelming or too theoretical, and those discussions often get tabled for easier-to-define issues.
If you want the quest for quality to be a top priority, you need a dedicated data quality function — or a quality visionary — and a plan to build enthusiasm for investing in resourcing and applying more rigor around data quality.
Our new white paper, developed in collaboration with our partners at Collibra, outlines components of a successful data quality function and the role of an enterprise tool.
