Modern enterprises rely on vast, interconnected data pipelines to drive analytics, reporting, and business decisions. However, many organizations struggle with limited visibility into data movement, transformation, and dependencies, leading to inefficiencies, compliance risks, and performance bottlenecks. This project addresses utilized Microsoft azure platforms to establish a robust data lineage across critical datasets and optimizing data pipelines for enhanced performance, efficiency, and scalability.

By mapping end-to-end data lineage and optimizing data pipelines, this Microsoft based pilot aims to demonstrate tangible value, assess technical feasibility, and provide actionable recommendations for long-term implementation. The initiative will empower stakeholders with transparency, improved data trust, and operational excellence. All documentation, mapping, and reporting will be delivered in Microsoft Word format for ease of review and collaboration.

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the scope, deliverables, and terms for a 3-month pilot engagement focused on two key areas:

Establishing Data Lineage across critical datasets and pipelines.

Conducting Databricks Pipeline Optimization to improve performance, efficiency, and scalability.

The goal of the pilot is to assess feasibility, demonstrate value, and provide recommendations for long-term implementation.
