PLATFORM OVERVIEW
Insight Ready Platform™ (IDPaaS)
A governed, AI-ready analytics foundation deployed inside your Azure tenant — production-ready in as little as four weeks.
Insight Ready Platform™ gives regulated organizations a complete, audit-ready analytics and AI foundation without the cost, risk, or delay of building one internally. The platform is deployed directly into your Azure tenant, operated through a secure governance layer managed by On Point BI, and delivered as a subscription — so your data never leaves your environment and governance stays consistent from day one.
Built for organizations that cannot afford data chaos.
Healthcare, life sciences, CDMO, pharma, insurance, and financial services organizations operate under constant regulatory pressure. Insight Ready Platform™ was purpose-built for environments where inconsistent reporting, uncontrolled pipelines, and undocumented transformations are not just operational problems — they are audit and compliance risks.
THE STRUCTURAL PROBLEM
Why Regulated Organizations Cannot Build This Themselves
Most regulated organizations recognize the need for a modern analytics platform. The problem is that building one internally is a multi-year, multi-million-dollar initiative that most teams attempt and fail — not because of skill, but because of the compounding weight of competing priorities, talent scarcity, compliance requirements, and technical debt. The result is an organization stuck in a cycle of fragmented data, inconsistent reporting, and stalled AI initiatives.
Fragmented data and inconsistent KPIs
Different departments define the same metrics differently. Reconciliation overhead grows. Trust in reporting erodes. Every executive meeting begins with a debate about whose numbers are right.
No audit-ready lineage
Regulators and auditors require full traceability for every transformation. Custom scripts, undocumented pipelines, and manual processes cannot satisfy this requirement — and the exposure is not theoretical.
Stalled AI initiatives
Organizations want to adopt AI. They cannot do it safely without a governed data foundation underneath it. Without structured, lineage-tracked, semantically aligned data, AI projects either fail or create new compliance exposure.
12–24 month build cycles that most fail to complete
Internal platform builds consistently run over time and over budget. Talent attrition resets progress. By the time the platform is ready, requirements have changed and technical debt has accumulated again.
Scarce and expensive data engineering talent
Data engineers, architects, and governance specialists are in short supply. Internal teams spend 40–60% of their capacity on maintenance and troubleshooting, leaving little headroom for analytics delivery or innovation.
Uncontrolled pipelines and manual reporting
Legacy architectures built on custom scripts and point-to-point integrations create brittle, opaque systems. Change is slow, risky, and poorly documented — exactly the environment regulators flag during audits.
WHAT IT IS
Insight Ready Platform™ Is Not a Toolkit
This is a fully governed analytics foundation delivered as a subscription service. On Point BI builds, deploys, and operates the platform inside your Azure tenant. You receive a production-ready environment with governed pipelines, a business-aligned semantic layer, executive dashboards, AI-ready data structures, and audit-ready lineage — without hiring a team to build or maintain it.
What you get
✓ Governed ingestion pipelines (Bronze → Silver → Gold)
✓ Business-aligned semantic layer with version control
✓ Executive dashboards built on governed KPIs
✓ AI-ready data structures for LLMs, copilots, and ML models
✓ Audit-ready lineage for every transformation
✓ Automated data quality validation and monitoring
✓ Continuous platform enhancements via the control plane
What you eliminate
• 18–24 month internal build timelines
• Multi-million-dollar data engineering staffing costs
• Brittle custom scripts and undocumented pipelines
• KPI definition conflicts across departments
• Audit exposure from uncontrolled transformations
• Azure infrastructure management overhead
• AI initiatives stalled by a poor data foundation
HOW IT WORKS
Your Data Stays in Your Environment. Our Governance Does Not.
Insight Ready Platform™ is built on a three-environment architecture. Everything that touches your data is deployed inside your Azure tenant. Everything that governs, orchestrates, and continuously improves the platform operates from On Point BI’s environment — with zero access to your data.
Inside Your Azure Tenant
Three governed environments are deployed directly into your Azure subscription:
✓ Foundation Environment — your authoritative, standardized baseline with conformed dimensions, reconciled facts, semantic alignment, lineage, and AI-ready structures
✓ Production Environment — your live, governed analytics and AI environment with controlled pipelines, dashboards, and audit-ready operations
✓ Non-Production Environment — a safe, governed space for testing new data sources, pipelines, and semantic changes before they reach production
You own all data, pipelines, compute, storage, and analytics assets.
On Point BI Governance Layer
The governance and orchestration layer operates from the On Point BI environment. No client data ever resides here.
✓ Platform Engineering Environment — where the platform is built, versioned, and tested before deployment
✓ Control Plane — the governance engine that enforces orchestration, lineage, data quality, and compliance inside your tenant
✓ Control Panel — a secure interface for monitoring pipelines, reviewing lineage, approving changes, and viewing audit logs
On Point BI accesses only metadata, governance signals, and logs — never your data.
WHAT IT ENABLES
A Complete, Governed Data Lifecycle
Insight Ready Platform™ delivers the full stack required for trustworthy analytics and safe AI adoption in regulated environments:
Analytics & Reporting
Automated reporting with standardized Power BI semantic models. Executive dashboards built on governed, consistent KPI definitions that all departments agree on.
AI & Automation Readiness
AI-ready data structures built for copilots, LLMs, and ML models. Forecasting and anomaly detection available from deployment. Natural-language query powered by Azure OpenAI, running entirely inside your tenant.
Compliance & Audit Readiness
Audit-ready lineage for every transformation. Regulator-defensible pipelines with full traceability. Controlled deployment lifecycle from non-production to production with documented approval workflows.
WHO IT’S BUILT FOR
Regulated Organizations That Require a Foundation, Not a Toolkit
Insight Ready Platform™ is purpose-built for organizations operating under regulatory and compliance constraints that make DIY analytics platforms impractical at scale.
CDOs, VPs of Data, and Data Engineering leaders at organizations that:
• Operate in regulated environments — healthcare, life sciences, CDMO, pharma, insurance, or financial services
• Face recurring audit findings tied to pipeline documentation, data lineage, or KPI inconsistency
• Have attempted an internal platform build that stalled, exceeded budget, or failed to reach production
• Need AI capabilities but lack the governed data foundation required to deploy them safely
• Require data to remain entirely within their Azure tenant with no third-party data custody
• Want predictable, subscription-based operations rather than capital-intensive internal builds
If your organization is spending time and money managing infrastructure instead of generating insights, Insight Ready Platform™ was built for you.
MODERNIZATION PATH
A Two-Phase Path to a Governed, AI-Ready Platform
Organizations come to Insight Ready Platform™ at different stages of readiness. The two-phase model ensures every client starts on a stable, governed foundation before scaling to the fully managed subscription.
PHASE 1
Governed Foundation
A fixed-scope implementation delivered inside your environment in 6–12 weeks. Phase 1 establishes the governed data foundation required for a clean, confident transition to Phase 2 — with production-ready pipelines, a business-aligned semantic layer, executive dashboards, and data quality monitoring in place before the subscription begins.
Available as Professional Foundation or Enterprise Foundation depending on organizational scope and complexity.
PHASE 2
Insight Ready Platform™ (IDPaaS)
The fully managed, all-inclusive subscription. On Point BI operates the platform inside your Azure tenant through the control plane — handling governance, orchestration, continuous enhancements, bi-weekly updates, and platform evolution. Your team focuses on insights, automation, and AI. Not infrastructure.
Available as Professional or Enterprise tiers aligned to organizational maturity and scale.
