Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
We believe that a short Proof of Concept exercise, based on any system or area of your choosing, will help address any concern or reservation you might have with a cloud-native data analytics solution. Alongside this, we aim to introduce to you some of the numerous advantages offered by this technology.

Our data analytics consultants will architect, cost and deliver a solution to help you identify the future potential of your data platform.

We'll review your requirements for cloud analytics and carry out an appraisal of existing candidate systems you may be considering moving to the cloud.

We'll produce architectural proposals for discussion and approval, along with costing and implementation details.

We'll deliver a proof of concept system developed and hosted in the cloud and demonstrated to stakeholders.

On completion, we’ll measure the success of the project together and devise your next steps.

Yes
How the setup or migration service works
At Pivotal BI we focus on delivering modern data platforms in Azure with our core capabilities in data platform architecture, data engineering, data analytics and the migration of data platforms to the cloud.

A typical data analytics project engagement with us consists of a discovery and planning phase, where we take a number of steps to better understand your business processes and existing data platform architecture before defining the vision for project success and planning the work items required to achieve this.

Using Agile delivery methods we work with your teams to develop and deploy the solution in an iterative fashion, typically over two-week cycles or ‘sprints’. On completion, we help you to transition the solution to your operations teams, ensuring a solution that is robust, secure and performant.
