Includes:
-
- SQL Server & DW assessment
- Data quality & governance review
- Platform readiness analysis
- Business use‑case alignment
- Microsoft Purview discovery & lineage mapping
🔹 2. Modern Data Platform Architecture & Cloud Design
We design a scalable, cloud‑optimized architecture using the Microsoft data platform. This includes defining ingestion patterns, storage layers, governance standards, and the future‑state warehouse model.
Includes:
-
- Azure Synapse or Microsoft Fabric architecture
- ADLS Gen2 data lake design
- Batch, streaming, and CDC ingestion patterns
- Security, compliance, and governance blueprint
- Modern DW schema & semantic layer design
🔹 3. Data Ingestion, Migration & Warehouse Modernization
We modernize legacy ETL, migrate workloads to the cloud, and build a high‑performance data foundation. This ensures reliable, scalable, and cost‑efficient data operations.
Includes:
-
- Azure Data Factory / Fabric Pipelines
- ELT modernization & pipeline orchestration
