Data architecture consulting aligns your organization’s data systems with business strategy, ensuring scalability, governance, and future-proofing for analytics and AI.
Service overview
We design strategic data architectures that consolidate silos, enable real-time insights, and support regulated environments like pension funds and secure pipelines. From assessments to implementation, we deliver blueprints that integrate legacy systems with modern lakehouses while enforcing compliance.
Core offerings
Data strategy and roadmap
- Current-state assessment of data landscape (sources, flows, quality issues).
- Future-state modeling aligned to business goals (e.g., AI readiness, real-time reporting).
- Prioritized 12-24 month roadmap with quick wins and strategic migrations.
Architecture design
- Logical/physical models for lakehouse, warehouse, or hybrid setups.
- Patterns for ingestion (batch/streaming), storage (Delta/Iceberg), serving (SQL/ML endpoints).
- Integration blueprints for ERP/CRM, cloud platforms (AWS Lake Formation, Azure Purview), and air-gapped zones.
Modernization and migration
- Legacy to cloud transitions (e.g., Exadata to Databricks/Synapse).
- Data consolidation from silos into governed catalogs (Unity Catalog, Purview).
- Schema evolution, CDC, and zero-downtime cutovers.
Governance framework
- Metadata management, lineage, and quality rules embedded in architecture.
- Access controls (row/column-level, tags for Solvency II/PII).
- Compliance mapping (encryption, residency, audit trails).
Reference implementations
- Proof-of-concept pipelines and models deployed in client environments.
- IaC templates (Terraform/ARM) for repeatable architectures.
- Performance benchmarks and optimization guidelines.
