Azure Datapath 4-Week Implementation

A challenge for many organisations on their cloud journey is how to efficiently assess, migrate, integrate and process large amounts of disparate data within Azure, and how to complete these activities in a secure and streamlined manner.

Our cloud-scale analytics solution has the following goals:

• Serve data as a product, rather than a by-product
• Provide an ecosystem of data products, rather than a singular data warehouse that might not best fit your data scenario
• Drive a default approach to enforce data governance and security

Our cloud scale analytics solution is based on the Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform which utilises Azure Purview for data classification, data cataloguing, and data lineage. Azure Blob Storage for a scalable and low cost data lake. Synapse Analytics for data orchestration, data preparation and data warehousing. Power BI for data visualisation, reporting and data analysis. If you require a SaaS data platform Microsoft Fabric can be utilised instead.

The Azure Datapath builds on top of the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework whilst applying the Well-Architected Framework lens.

The tools we use are categorised into four specific areas: Data Assessment, Data Integration, Data Processing and Workload Optimisation.
