WSP Harmonic was formed after WSP acquired Harmonic Analytics in 2025. Harmonic has operated since 2003 as a specialist data science and decision analytics team. Over that time, we have delivered complex analytical work across twelve industry sectors, with a strong focus on infrastructure, asset heavy organisations and operational technology environments.
Our team includes statisticians, researchers, software engineers and data scientists. We have designed, built, supported and hosted tailored analytical solutions across New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. This experience comes from solving real operational problems, which is why clients trust us to support critical decisions.
We work across the full data and analytics lifecycle, from solution design and data engineering through to software development and support. We often host solutions in our own secure cloud environment. We also support data transformation programmes and work with organisations to build lasting data science capability, from short introductory courses to long term programmes.
We acknowledge the power of analytics to improve economic, social and environmental wellbeing.
We choose to work with clients and partners who seek data solutions to achieve this vision.
We recognise our vision helps attract and retain high calibre data scientists.
