Maturity
Assessment
Before you can close the gap, you need to know where the gap is. We assess your current data capabilities across six dimensions and show you exactly where you stand—with evidence, not assumptions.
What we see in the field
The Cost of Assuming Readiness.
The Pipeline That Fails Every Monday
Your Data Factory pipeline crashes. Someone added a new customer type in the ERP, and your pipeline doesn't handle it.
What's Missing
- No schema drift detection
- No data quality enforcement
- No proactive alerting
You find out it's broken only when Finance calls asking why the Power BI dashboard is blank.
Six Customer IDs, Zero Master Data
You need to join customers from Salesforce with orders from your ERP. Except they don't match, and there's no master data management.
The Symptoms
- Salesforce uses "AccountID"
- ERP uses "CustomerNumber"
- The same customer appears 47 ways
Your Engineer spent days building a fuzzy match that's 85% accurate. Everyone pretends that's good enough.
Nobody Knows Where the Number Came From
Finance asks why the revenue number in the executive Power BI dashboard doesn't match the revenue in the sales report.
The Root Cause
- No central semantic model
- No documented definitions
- Conflicting dashboard logic
Neither report is wrong, but there's no canonical definition documented anywhere in your semantic model.
[ DELIVERABLES ]
Clarity over assumptions.
Every assessment produces the same high-quality artifacts — no shortcuts, no templated scores. You get evidence, priorities, and a path forward.
Six dimensions
Maturity Scorecard
A scored assessment across six dimensions: Data Management, Analytics Capability, Governance, Technology, Organization, and Culture. Rated with clear evidence, not gut feel.
Current vs target
Gap Analysis
For each dimension, we document where you are today vs. where you need to be. Gaps prioritized by business impact, not ease of implementation.
Architecture
Technical Findings
Specific observations from our review: Fabric/Azure configuration, pipeline reliability, Power BI semantic model design, security, and technical debt.
Prioritized Path
Prioritized Recommendations
A prioritized set of recommendations with rationale and rough effort estimates. We explain why and in what order.
Leadership
Executive Summary
A one-page summary for leadership that drives decisions, not just informs.
Our process
Interviews, technical review, and evidence-based scoring — 3–4 weeks to presentation.
Stakeholder Interviews
We interview 8-12 stakeholders across business and technology. We're looking for gaps between what teams believe about your data capabilities and what's actually happening.
Technical Review
We review your current architecture: Azure/Fabric configuration, Data Factory pipelines, Lakehouse structure, Power BI semantic models, Purview catalog, and security settings. We look at what's documented and what's actually implemented.
Analysis & Scoring
We synthesize findings into a scored assessment. Each dimension rated with specific evidence and examples.
Presentation & Alignment
We present findings to leadership and facilitate discussion. The goal is alignment on priorities and next steps.
How we helped a PE portfolio
company find their gaps.
The Situation
A PE-backed software company had invested in Azure Analysis Services (AAS) for enterprise data modeling. Leadership believed they were "data mature." But refresh failures were increasing, autoscaling wasn't working, and the BI team was frustrated with the complexity of managing AAS alongside Power BI.
What We Found
The Recommendation
Migrate from Azure Analysis Services to Microsoft Fabric. The assessment revealed that 80% of their pain points would be solved by the migration: autoscaling, simplified scheduling, native Power BI integration, and Fabric's built-in governance features.
The Outcome
Assessment led to migration engagement. BI team now self-sufficient without dependency on the legacy AAS admin.
