Platform Advisory
You make a confident, well-reasoned platform decision - and avoid the expensive rebuild two years from now.
The Problem
Vendors will tell you their platform solves everything. The real question is whether it fits your team, your data volumes, your OT environment, and your budget. Bad stack decisions compound: they create lock-in, slow every downstream project, and leave teams maintaining infrastructure they don't understand.
What You Get
- ▸Current-state architecture assessment with documented gaps and risks
- ▸Evaluated platform options with tradeoffs framed for your context
- ▸Target-state architecture design and decision rationale
- ▸Migration or adoption roadmap with sequenced milestones
- ▸Databricks workspace setup and configuration (if selected)
Stack & Tools
Databricks, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Apache Iceberg, dbt, Terraform, AWS S3 / Azure ADLS / GCP GCS, Snowflake. Vendor-neutral on cloud - AWS, Azure, and GCP all supported.
How We Work
Phase 1
Discovery
Assess your current data stack, team skills, data volumes, latency requirements, compliance constraints, and budget envelope.
Phase 2
Design
Produce a shortlist of evaluated options with documented tradeoffs. Facilitate decision workshops with technical and business stakeholders.
Phase 3
Build
Implement the chosen platform foundation - storage layers, compute configuration, access controls, and a first pipeline as a reference pattern.
Phase 4
Enablement
Equip your team with the mental model, operational practices, and documentation to own the platform going forward.
Right for You If…
- ✓You're evaluating data platforms and want an independent, experienced perspective
- ✓You've inherited an architecture you don't fully understand and need a clear-eyed assessment
- ✓You're scaling and your current stack is showing cracks
- ✓You want to adopt Databricks and need implementation help, not just a license
What You'll Need to Bring
- ▸Ability to describe or document your current architecture and data flows
- ▸A decision-maker who can participate in the design phase
- ▸A rough sense of your data volumes, team size, and growth horizon
