Data Foundation for AI (Fabric)

Architecture and initial implementation of a Microsoft Fabric data foundation sized for your AI ambitions. Lakehouse design, domain model, data products, governance — with a working exemplar your team can extend.

Starting from £75,000

AI runs on data. We build the floor.

If your data estate is a patchwork of legacy platforms, orphaned Power BI reports, and inconsistent governance, every AI initiative will hit the same ceiling. This engagement builds the floor. We design a Fabric architecture aligned to your AI ambitions, implement one end-to-end data product as a working exemplar, and leave your team with the patterns and operating model to extend it themselves.

Duration: 8–12 weeks elapsed. 35–55 senior days, 15–25 graduate days.
