What Is a Modern Data Platform? 

A modern data platform is your company’s single, trusted foundation for every metric, report, and AI model. Instead of juggling dozens of siloed tools, you get one governed, scalable environment built for both today’s reporting and tomorrow’s innovations.

Modernizing the Core: Data Platform Architecture & AI Readiness 

Technical roadmap to build an AI-ready lakehouse-plus-mesh core, complete with governance and FinOps checklists. 



    Why Smart Businesses Love It

    • One version of the truth – Finance, Ops, and Marketing finally see the same numbers.
    • Instant Insights – Answers arrive in minutes, not days of spreadsheet cleanup.
    • AI-ready from day one – Clean, well-governed data feeds models that actually reach production.
    • Costs stay lean – Retire legacy licenses and pay only for the storage and compute you use.
    • Compliance built in – Automated lineage and role-based access keep auditors (and customers) happy.

    In short: it’s the fastest way to shift from reactive reporting to proactive, data-driven growth. We deliver this through modern data architecture consulting services paired with data integration consulting, so the platform fits your business, not the other way around.

    Enrichment and AI Enablement

    Deploy ML, optimize usage, and unlock new value through data products and AI.

    Once the platform is up and running, a continuous FinOps + DataOps loop keeps costs lean, quality high, and new use-cases flowing. In other words, the three steps light the fuse; the optimization cycle delivers the compounding ROI.

    Modern Data Platform in Action:
    From Siloed Dashboards to Real-Time Decisions

    A 20 000-employee European manufacturer was living on contradictory QlikView dashboards and weekly Excel roll-ups. We began with a three-month Assess phase to map every silo; our data warehousing consultants shaped the migration path, and our data integration consulting team built the pipelines on Azure–Databricks with Power BI on top. Seven months in, plant managers were watching live production metrics and a predictive-maintenance model that flagged failures two weeks ahead. By month 18 the company had retired 150 legacy reports, cut unplanned downtime 20 %, and unlocked more than €10 million in three-year efficiency upside—all on a modern data platform that now fuels new AI and supplier-data-sharing products.

    Data Platform Modernization FAQs

    First production slice typically goes live in ~4 months; full estate in 12–18 months with incremental wins each quarter. Because our data integration engineering services run in parallel with design, your first live use cases typically land in the early months.

    No. We start with one high-value domain, prove ROI, and iterate, minimizing change fatigue. Our data warehousing consultants plan phased cutovers so existing reporting keeps running while we modernize behind the scenes.

    FinOps controls (auto-suspend, workload scheduling, reserved-use discounts) consistently cut spend 20–40%. Our data integration consulting services include FinOps guardrails (usage policies, scheduling, and right-sizing) to prevent surprise bills.

    Role-based access, column masking, and automated lineage meet GDPR and upcoming EU AI-Act standards from day one.
