Enterprise
Data
Strategy
A comprehensive strategy that aligns your Microsoft Fabric and Azure investments with business outcomes. Not a vision deck — a plan that gets executive buy-in and guides implementation.
The Challenge
Why data strategies fail.
A strategy without execution is just an expensive presentation. Most data strategies lack the pragmatic prioritization needed to survive CFO scrutiny.
The Vision Deck Nobody Opens
You have a slide deck titled "Data Strategy" on SharePoint. It describes a "data-driven culture" and lists "key initiatives."
What's Missing
- Actionable roadmap
- Architectural alignment
- Business buy-in
When a new Power BI project starts, nobody references it. The strategy exists. Execution doesn't.
Competing Priorities, No Framework
Finance wants faster monthly close. Marketing wants customer analytics. Operations wants real-time Power BI dashboards. IT wants Fabric.
The Symptoms
- Siloed initiatives
- Wasted resources
- Shadow IT
Nobody has a framework for deciding "this first, that later, this never." You do a little bit of everything and achieve nothing.
No Business Case Survives Scrutiny
You know you need to invest in Microsoft Fabric. But the CFO wants numbers. What's the ROI? What's the cost of inaction?
The Root Cause
- No financial modeling
- Vague ROI assumptions
- Tech-centric pitches
Without credible numbers, your data modernization is delayed because it competes for budget against projects with clearer returns.
[ DELIVERABLES ]
What a real strategy looks like.
A comprehensive strategy that aligns your Microsoft Fabric and Azure investments with business outcomes. Not a vision deck — a plan that gets executive buy-in.
Existing Landscape
Current State Assessment
A clear-eyed view of your existing data landscape: Azure resources, data flows, Power BI reports, capabilities, gaps, and technical debt.
Phased Plan
Prioritized Roadmap
A phased implementation plan with 90-day milestones, dependencies, and decision points. Each phase delivers measurable business value.
Financials
Business Case
Financial analysis quantifying investment and expected return. Includes Fabric capacity costs, implementation investment, and expected benefits.
Control
Governance Model
A governance framework using Microsoft Purview: data ownership, quality standards, sensitivity labels, and lineage tracking.
Leadership
Executive Summary
A one-page summary for leadership that drives decisions, not just informs.
Our process
Interviews, architectural design, and financial modeling — 6–8 weeks to presentation.
Discovery
We interview stakeholders, review Azure consumption, audit existing Power BI content, and assess current state. We map business objectives to data requirements.
Strategy Development
We design the target state architecture on Fabric, prioritize initiatives, and build the roadmap via working sessions with your team — not in isolation.
Business Case
We quantify Fabric capacity costs, implementation services, internal effort, and expected returns. We document assumptions so the business case is deeply credible.
Validation & Alignment
We present the strategy to leadership, incorporate feedback, and finalize deliverables. Our goal is organizational buy-in, not just documentation.
How we built a data strategy for a
multi-company construction group.
The Situation
A PE-backed fire protection contractor had grown through acquisition. Five regional business units, each with their own ERP, different job costing practices, and no consolidated financial view. The CFO needed unified reporting for board meetings but couldn't get consistent numbers.
What We Built
The Solution
A comprehensive enterprise data strategy that unified disparate ERPs into a single source of truth on Microsoft Fabric. We provided the financial justification, the architectural blueprint, and the phased execution plan to make it happen.
The Outcome
Board reporting time reduced from 2 weeks to 2 hours. A clear path to enterprise-wide data maturity.
