What This Achievement Means for You

Earning the Analytics on Azure Specialisation is not just another milestone for us. It is a win for our customers too. With Microsoft’s endorsement of our capabilities, you can be confident that our team is among the most capable in the UK when it comes to Azure-based analytics.

In practical terms, what does this mean for you?

Proven Expertise: We have demonstrated deep knowledge of Azure analytics services and a track record of successful projects. This allows us to design and implement complex solutions involving data warehouses, big data pipelines, real-time analytics, and business intelligence dashboards on Azure. Our team’s expertise spans the leading Azure analytics technologies, so we can choose the right tools to meet your specific needs
Enterprise-Scale Solutions: With this specialistion, we are validated in delivering analytics solutions at enterprise scale. We can help you integrate all your data sources into a unified Azure analytics platform. This capability allows your organisation to quickly capture insights from across data warehouses and big data systems, turning massive datasets into actionable intelligence. Whether you are dealing with terabytes of operational data or real-time streaming information, we have the skills to architect solutions that scale with your business.
Enhanced Security & Best Practices: Data security, compliance, and reliability are at the core of our analytics solutions. Our customers can trust that sensitive data will be handled using robust encryption, proper access controls, and architectures that meet industry compliance standards (such as GDPR or financial regulations). The specialisation also means we design solutions with high availability and resiliency in mind, so you can rely on your analytics platform for critical insights without interruption.
Access to the Latest Innovations: Being a specialised Azure analytics partner gives us access to exclusive Microsoft resources, and we bring that innovation directly to your projects. This ensures that our customers benefit from the most up-to-date tools and approaches in data analytics.

Solving Your Analytics Challenges

Many organisations understand that data and analytics are critical to driving innovation and competitive advantage, but they struggle to implement effective analytics strategies in practice. Now, we are even better equipped to help you overcome these challenges. Here are some of the problems we can help you solve:

Data Silos and Integration: Combine data from disparate sources into a cohesive modern data platform. Using Azure’s integration services, we build data pipelines that break down silos, ensuring you have a single source of truth for analytics. This means faster, more accurate reporting and insights across your entire organisation.
Scalability and Performance Bottlenecks: Leverage the virtually unlimited scale of Azure to handle growing data volumes and user loads. We design analytics solutions that can grow with your business, from cloud data warehouses that handle petabytes of data to optimised data processing jobs that deliver results in minutes instead of hours. Our expertise in Azure’s scalable services ensures that performance won’t be a bottleneck for your analytics initiatives.
Complex Analytics & AI Workloads: Implement advanced analytics and even integrate machine learning and AI using Azure Databricks and Azure Machine Learning. With our help, you can unlock predictive insights and automation from your data. For example, we can create solutions that analyse historical data to forecast trends, or employ AI models to glean new insights, all within the secure, compliant Azure environment.
Security and Compliance Challenges: Protecting data is as important as analysing it. We incorporate Azure’s robust security features (such as data encryption, access controls, and threat detection) into every solution. If your industry has strict compliance requirements (financial services, healthcare, government, etc.), we ensure that your Azure analytics environment meets those standards, letting you innovate with data without compromising on security or compliance.
Power BI to Fabric: As organisations transition from Power BI Premium (P SKUs) to Microsoft Fabric, many face challenges in re-architecting their analytics environments to fully leverage the unified data platform, from aligning data models and pipelines to managing cost and governance. We help customers navigate this shift by assessing their current architecture, designing scalable Fabric-ready solutions, and implementing best practices for data integration, security, and performance optimisation.
