Data-driven 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 Fabric, Databricks Data Lakehouse and Microsoft SQL Server cloud/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 days. This includes setting up a fully automated medallion data architecture: delta lake (data lake) for GDPR compliant source data management, data vault (classic or 2.0) for data governance, and data mart for data enablement.

WADE is built to support multiple business purposes using one common workflow. Regardless of if the need is for advanced data science, analytics or a secure on-premises data warehouse, WADE manages all three options seamlessly. Move data between the three different platforms depending on business needs. Accelerate data insights, now and in the future.
