DATA & AI CONSULTING

Data warehouses.
Built for AI.

Our certified consultants implement modern data warehouses and governed semantic models for self-service and conversational BI. We deliver across platforms, with deep experience in Azure Synapse and Microsoft Fabric.

01 / The architecture we implement

One foundation. BI & AI.

Source systems feed Bronze raw data, then Silver Data Vault integration, then Gold facts and conformed dimensions. Governed semantic models are built on Gold and feed both self-service and conversational BI. Shared platform services support every layer.

THE PRINCIPLE BEHIND OUR DELIVERY

The model is
the product.

We build reusable data products that connect history, analytical structure, and shared business definitions. The same governed models can support self-service BI and conversational BI, so reports and natural-language questions draw on agreed measures.

Integrate the
enterprise.

We implement Data Vault hubs, links, and satellites to connect business keys, relationships, and source history across systems. The integration layer can evolve as your organization changes.

Data Vault integration

Shape data
for analytics.

We shape integrated data into Kimball facts and conformed dimensions. Shared analytical structures help teams compare measures across business processes.

Dimensional models & information marts

Share meaning.
Enable exploration.

We implement semantic models with shared measures, definitions, and access rules for self-service BI. Data agents can query those models for conversational BI, with ontology context added where useful.

Governed models for BI & AI

THE ARCHITECTURE WE IMPLEMENT

From source data
to useful answers.

We combine medallion layers, Data Vault, and Kimball dimensional modeling in this reference architecture. Each layer prepares data for governed self-service and conversational BI.

SOURCE SYSTEMSBusiness applications, operational databases, files & APIs

BRONZE / SOURCE INTEGRATION

Preserve what the source tells you.

We establish repeatable ingestion that preserves raw source data and captures metadata about its origin and arrival. That source fidelity gives integration a traceable starting point.

  • Raw source data
  • Source fidelity
  • Metadata capture

SILVER / ENTERPRISE INTEGRATION

Connect keys, relationships, and history.

We implement Data Vault hubs, links, and satellites around business keys. Raw Vault preserves source history; Business Vault holds reusable business-rule results, keeping their meaning distinct as systems and requirements evolve.

  • Raw Vault
  • Business Vault

GOLD / ANALYTICAL STRUCTURE

Give analysis a consistent structure.

We organize integrated data into Kimball facts and conformed dimensions. Clear grain and shared dimensions provide the analytical structure that semantic models use to define measures consistently across business processes.

  • Facts & dimensions
  • Conformed dimensions
  • Analytical structure

SEMANTIC / SHARED BUSINESS MEANING

One set of definitions.
More ways to ask.

We define governed measures, KPIs, relationships, and access rules in reusable semantic models. Those models support Power BI and Excel self-service. In our Fabric implementations, data agents can query selected semantic models for conversational BI; ontologies add entity and relationship context where useful.

  • Shared metrics & definitions
  • Governed access
  • Reusable models

CERTIFIED WHERESCAPE PARTNER

Put your architecture
standards to work.

Automation is more useful when it reflects the way your data platform should be built. We bring strong WhereScape experience and custom template development to make your standards repeatable.

From modeling conventions to generated loading patterns, we extend the product to fit your architecture and help your team maintain those extensions.

Explore custom WhereScape automation

From standards to repeatable delivery

  1. Your architecture standards

    Agree on model conventions, metadata, and loading patterns.

  2. Custom WhereScape templates

    Translate those standards into reusable generation patterns.

  3. Consistent data platform assets

    Generate, validate, and refine as the architecture evolves.

A practical extension approach, shaped around your WhereScape environment and target platform.
