Insight Ready Platform™ (IDPaaS)

Enterprise Analytics Without Enterprise Complexity

Get executive-level visibility, AI-powered insights, and a governed data foundation—fully managed, predictable pricing, zero infrastructure headaches.

$65,000/month • All-inclusive • 99% uptime SLA

A Proven Path for Modern, AI‑Ready Analytics

Regulated organizations almost always begin with Phase 1 to establish trust, governance, and early wins inside their secure Azure environment. From there, moving to our fully managed platform becomes the most efficient way to scale analytics and accelerate AI adoption.

This two‑phase approach reflects the same adoption patterns used by leading data platforms and enterprise consultancies—because it reduces risk, speeds up value, and delivers consistent results.

Two Connected Ways to Accelerate Your Data Journey

Choose the starting point that aligns with your organization’s readiness—with a clear path forward.

PHASE 1 • GOVERNED DATA FOUNDATION

Governed Data Foundation

Deployed inside your environment (cloud or on‑prem)

The essential first step for any modern data or AI roadmap. This engagement gives your team a governed, compliant, production‑ready foundation—built inside your secure environment—so you can deliver value fast without waiting for a full platform rollout.

This option helps you:
Meet strict compliance, security, and data residency requirements from day one
Deploy directly into your existing environment with minimal procurement friction
Deliver quick wins that prove value, build internal momentum, and unlock future budget
Lay the groundwork for Phase 2 (IDPaaS) by exposing the operational pain of managing data internally

Ideal for: Healthcare, biotech, financial services, and any organization that requires governed data, auditability, and a secure, compliant foundation before scaling analytics or AI.

THE PLATFORM MOST CLIENTS UPGRADE INTO
PHASE 2 • AI‑READY ANALYTICS PLATFORM

Insight Ready Platform™ (IDPaaS)

Your fully managed, AI‑ready analytics platform — delivered as a predictable subscription.

The natural evolution after Phase 1. IDPaaS replaces internal maintenance, cloud complexity, and ad‑hoc analytics with a fully managed, enterprise‑grade platform that scales effortlessly across teams, departments, and AI initiatives.

This option gives you:
A fully managed, zero‑maintenance analytics platform with predictable monthly cost
A standardized, governed architecture that scales across business units without rework
Accelerated enhancements, AI‑ready data models, and continuous platform improvements
A level of automation, reliability, and insight no consultancy can match

Ideal for: Organizations ready to scale analytics across business units, convert CapEx to OpEx, and unlock AI‑driven decision‑making without managing infrastructure or engineering teams.

Three-Year Total Cost of Ownership Analysis

Traditional build-versus-buy frameworks fail to capture the full economic impact of modern analytics platforms. Beyond direct infrastructure and personnel costs, organizations incur significant hidden expenses through delayed time-to-value, operational complexity, and missed strategic opportunities. This analysis quantifies the complete financial and operational implications across a three-year horizon.

Executive Summary

Key Finding: The Insight Ready Platform™ (IDPaaS) delivers superior economic value, reducing three-year TCO by 6% ($150,000) while accelerating time-to-value by 92% and eliminating critical organizational risks associated with talent acquisition and retention.

Strategic Implication: Organizations shifting from CapEx-intensive in-house builds to OpEx-based managed services achieve greater financial predictability, enhanced agility, and immediate AI readiness without the 18-24 month implementation lag typical of DIY approaches.
