The Challenge
Where things stood before
20+ enterprise data sources scattered across Azure, AWS and on-prem SQL Server with six different ETL vendors. Onboarding a new source took weeks, and cross-source analytics required nightly copy jobs that broke constantly.
Our Approach
How we engineered the outcome
- Assessed all 20+ source systems and mapped a unification blueprint to Microsoft Fabric OneLake.
- Enabled OneLake Shortcuts to virtualize S3 and ADLS data without duplication.
- Built metadata-driven ingestion pipelines using ADF and dataflows Gen2 to standardize onboarding.
- Consolidated governance under Purview + Fabric workspace RBAC + OneLake row/column security.
- Rebuilt Silver → Gold transformations in dbt-fabric with contracts and freshness tests.
