In today's data-driven world, organizations are constantly searching for ways to improve the speed, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness of their data insight processes. Traditionally, data warehousing is a time-consuming and expensive process that relies heavily on manual effort. Teams of IT professionals will spend months designing, building, and testing data warehouses, only to find that the results often fall short of expectations.

Data warehouse automation, on the other hand, shifts the focus from a technology-driven approach to a more business-driven one. This means that the focus is on the data and how it can be used to drive business value, rather than the technicalities of data warehousing. WADE is the next generation data automation, and orchestration service for Microsoft Azure Synapse, Databricks Data Lakehouse and Microsoft SQL Server on-premises. A true end-to-end SaaS solution which accelerates data insights and significantly shortens time to value. Built upon the Microsoft and Databricks reference architecture for data warehousing, WADE is deployed without introducing any additional components into your IT landscape. Having total cost of ownership, time to value, and a strong business outcome focus, WADE will significantly help to shift focus from a development and maintenance effort to business driven automated data insights.

With our rapid deployment tools, your enterprise grade data warehouse will be up and running in matter of hours. This includes setting up a fully automated three-layer data warehouse architecture: delta lake (data lake) for GDPR compliant source data management, data vault for data governance, and data mart for data enablement.
