Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
Our Data Engineering service will work with you to develop your data lake, data warehouse and databases using Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, Synapse, SQL/ Python, and Power BI for data pipelines and presentation. Typically we will use technologies such as Azure Data Lake and Azure SQL for storage.
A clear Engagement Framework is key to how we engage. We balance the need for flexibility with clear deliverables with clear success criteria. Our services will typically contribute to different stages of a development lifecycle which Mangrove may manage in an end-to-end manner or contribute to as part of a wider initiative.
As a general practice our Architecture services will lead the Explore and Discover phase of our approach.
During the explore and planning phase we will focus on agreeing an upfront scope with your senior stakeholders, we will work with you to understand your priority and focus for the engagement which will culminate in an agreed Problem Statement for Discovery.
By the end of the planning and discovery phase we would intend to have
i)- A reference architecture
ii) A user and data story backlog (compiled using the BEAM methodology)
iii) A cost estimate for delivery

How the setup or migration service works
Lykus specializes in Microsoft Azure to facilitate transition to the cloud. Our experience has show greater utilisation of cloud services makes it easier and cost effective to modernise data handling and exploitation activity.

We would begin by building an understanding of your current data infrastructure from the perspective of storage, transformation, reporting, integration, security and service management. Once all dependencies are identified we would work with your infrastructure SMEs to develop a roadmap for transition.

Our expertise is focused on data service (such as Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, Azure SQL and Fabric) but our understanding goes beyond these products covering networking, storage, app services and so on. This ensures we are able to take a fully rounded approach to planning the migration.

Additionally, Lykus can work with you to optimize costs, establish clear data lifecycle process, improve data governance, and enhance disaster recovery strategies, ensuring the organization fully benefits from Azure's cloud capabilities.
