Azure Data Analytics Platform: 4-Wk Implementation

Walkerscott

A pragmatic, source-system agnostic Azure data platform infrastructure to accelerate reporting and analytics (finance & others) within the organization

Walkerscott Ltd will engage the client team (and other stakeholders) over a 4-weeks period to deliver a Data Analytics Platform on Azure and assist in user adoption to drive successful outcomes.

75% reduction in time to deliver a data platform infrastructure:

  • With the proliferation of analytics platforms and tools, organizations looking to modernize their BI workloads are unsure about how to proceed
  • Those who do take initial steps to Azure, run the risk of provisioning expensive resources that are not fit-for-purpose in an ungoverned manner
  • Walkerscott's Azure Data Platform presents a pragmatic approach & architecture to move to Azure
  • It caters to Finance reporting as well as other typical organizational reporting needs
  • It is also extensible to support modern real-time analytics
