Data Platform & Analytics

Secure, reliable and cost effective data

Our data platform specialists are equipped with the tools, methodologies, and experience that help to enhance and expand your platform in a structured approach. We work with data platforms from design to implementation across all key technical components such as Data Lakes, Databases, ETL processes, Cubes and Reporting.

We provide clear timelines and expectations for what can be delivered and when, and what interactions are needed between the business and the technical team.

Microsoft Fabric

Enterprise Power BI

Databricks

Microsoft Fabric

Microsoft Fabric is a unified analytics platform that brings together data engineering, data science, real-time analytics, and business intelligence. For organisations already invested in Microsoft 365 and Azure, Fabric provides a natural path to a modern data platform.

We help organisations adopt Fabric strategically — from initial assessment and architecture design through to implementation and ongoing optimisation.

Fabric services we deliver:

  • Platform assessment and architecture design
  • Data lakehouse implementation
  • Data pipeline development
  • Power BI semantic models and reports
  • Migration from legacy platforms
Enterprise Power BI

Power BI remains the market-leading business intelligence tool, and it's central to the Microsoft Fabric experience. But deploying Power BI at enterprise scale requires more than building reports — it requires governance, architecture, and a strategy for self-service analytics.

Our PEBBLE methodology guides organisations through enterprise Power BI deployment, ensuring your investment delivers business impact across the organisation.

Databricks

For organisations with advanced analytics requirements or existing Databricks investments, we provide implementation and consulting services. Databricks excels at large-scale data engineering, machine learning workloads, and scenarios requiring platform portability.

Our Approach

Strategy Through Implementation

We work with data platforms from strategy through implementation. Whether you need help choosing between platforms, designing your architecture, or building out your data pipelines and reports — we provide the expertise to move forward with confidence.

Our team includes certified Microsoft and Databricks practitioners with experience across industries. We provide clear timelines and expectations, and ensure knowledge transfer so your team can maintain and extend what we build.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Microsoft Fabric and Databricks?

Both are modern data platforms, but they have different strengths. Fabric is deeply integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem (Power BI, Azure, Microsoft 365) and is ideal for organisations already invested in Microsoft. Databricks offers more flexibility and portability, excels at machine learning workloads, and works well in multi-cloud environments. We can help you evaluate which is right for your situation.

Do we need Fabric if we already have Power BI?

Not necessarily. Power BI works well on its own for many organisations. Fabric adds value when you need unified data engineering, a lakehouse architecture, or tighter integration between data preparation and reporting. If your current Power BI setup meets your needs, there may be no urgency to adopt Fabric.

How long does a data platform implementation take?

It varies significantly based on scope. A focused Power BI deployment might take 4-8 weeks. A full Fabric implementation with data lakehouse, pipelines, and reporting could take 3-6 months. We scope projects carefully and can phase delivery to show value early.

Can you migrate our existing reports and data warehouse?

Yes. We regularly migrate organisations from legacy platforms — including on-premise SQL Server, older Azure services, and other BI tools — to Fabric or Databricks. We assess your current state, plan the migration, and execute it with minimal disruption to your reporting.

What's your approach to Power BI governance?

Our PEBBLE methodology addresses governance as a core component of enterprise Power BI. This includes workspace structure, security model, data certification, refresh scheduling, and balancing central control with self-service flexibility. Good governance prevents the sprawl and inconsistency that undermines BI investments.
