What We Deliver

Key Capabilities

Microsoft Fabric & Azure Data Factory Implementation

We implement and optimise Microsoft Fabric and Azure Data Factory to unify your data engineering, warehousing, real-time analytics, and Power BI in a seamless, integrated experience.

Databricks & Lakehouse Solutions

We deploy Databricks and Lakehouse architectures for data engineering and ML workloads, enabling advanced analytics, machine learning, and unified governance at enterprise scale.

Data Warehousing & Data Lakes

We design and build data warehousing, data lake, and multicloud data architectures that consolidate your data assets and provide a single source of truth for analytics and reporting.

Real-Time Streaming & Analytics

We implement real-time streaming, transaction processing, and customer insights analytics that enable your organisation to act on data as it arrives, not hours or days later.

Compliance & Regulatory Reporting

We build fraud prevention, AML compliance, risk calculation, and regulatory reporting solutions that ensure your data platform meets the most stringent industry requirements.

Common Use Cases

Where Modern Data Platforms drives value

Migrating off legacy warehouses

Retire on-prem SQL, Teradata, Netezza or Oracle estates in favour of a cloud lakehouse that scales with demand and usage.

Consolidating fragmented data

Replace department-by-department reporting silos with a governed platform where finance, operations and commercial share one semantic layer.

Enabling real-time analytics

Add event streams, KQL databases and Data Activator so the business reacts to what is happening right now, not last month.

Preparing for enterprise AI

Build the clean, governed foundation Copilot, agents and bespoke models need to generate trustworthy answers.

Multi-cloud and hybrid estates

Design a lakehouse that spans Azure, Fabric and Databricks — and integrates cleanly with AWS or GCP sources where needed.

Regulated reporting platforms

Engineer fraud, AML, Solvency II and risk reporting on a platform with immutable history, lineage and role-based access.

How We Work

A proven delivery approach

  1. 01 Step

    Assess

    Review current data estate, workloads, licensing and skills against a Microsoft-aligned target state.

  2. 02 Step

    Architect

    Design a reference architecture, governance model and migration approach with clear cost and risk trade-offs.

  3. 03 Step

    Build

    Deploy the platform using infrastructure-as-code, wire up governance, and migrate the first priority workloads.

  4. 04 Step

    Scale

    Onboard additional domains, optimise capacity and cost, and embed DataOps so the platform keeps improving.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do we have to choose between Fabric and Databricks?

No. We regularly design hybrid estates where Databricks handles heavy engineering and ML, and Fabric surfaces curated data to Power BI, Copilot and business users. The right split depends on workloads, team skills and commercial model.

How long does a platform build take?

A governed foundation — networking, identity, OneLake / catalog, CI/CD and a first domain — typically takes 8–12 weeks. Full migration off a legacy warehouse usually runs 6–12 months depending on complexity and change appetite.

Can the platform support real-time use cases?

Yes. We implement Fabric Real-Time Intelligence, Event Streams, KQL databases, or Databricks structured streaming — choosing the pattern that best fits latency, volume and downstream consumption.

How do you keep cloud data costs under control?

We baseline capacity, tag every resource, monitor Fabric capacity units and Databricks DBUs, and tune workloads continuously. Clients on Synapx-as-a-Service typically see 20–40% cost reduction in the first six months.

Is this suitable for regulated industries?

Yes. We run data platform programmes for financial services, healthcare and public sector clients with private networking, customer-managed keys, Purview classification, audit logging and evidence trails for regulators.

Can you operate the platform after go-live?

Yes. Synapx-as-a-Service provides 24/7 platform operations, enhancement and cost optimisation by the same UK-based team that built it, so knowledge is retained and improvements continue.
