Data scattered everywhere. One blueprint out.
One day with your IT and/or business leaders to align on what data-driven means for your organization, which BI and AI outcomes come first, and the platform design that gets you there, anchored to Microsoft Fabric or Azure Databricks, top down from business decisions.

What you get
Five artifacts, all aligned to you.
01Data Maturity Assessment
Where you sit today, from patchwork to democratized analytics, and your BI and AI readiness.
02Prioritized Analytics Assessment
The BI and AI outcomes that set the north star for the platform, tied to strategic objectives.
03Data Platform Design
A service architecture anchored to Fabric or Databricks, integrated with your environment.
04Governance Recommendations
Security, operations (CI/CD etc), and regulatory needs met so the platform stays trusted.
05High-Level Roadmap
Sequenced first moves to enable the designed platform for the prioritized goals.
How it works
Five blocks. Roughly 9 to 4, with a working lunch.
01 · MORNING
Vision
What becoming data-driven means for you: analytics democratized safely, a self-service culture, and data that is both BI and AI ready. Current state and its hidden costs surface here.
02 · LATE MORNING
Prioritize
The BI and AI outcomes that support your strategic objectives, captured and ranked. The top outcomes become the north star the platform is built to serve.
03 · EARLY AFTERNOON
Design
A service architecture on Fabric or Databricks, fit to your environment. A data map traces source to domain to asset to product, capturing the critical few of each.
04 · MID AFTERNOON
Govern
The governance goals the platform must meet from day one: security, operations (CI/CD and support), and the regulatory needs your industry imposes.
05 · LATE AFTERNOON
Act
High-level next steps to enable the designed platform for the prioritized goals. The roadmap agreed in the room, with owners named.
