Data consulting services

We’re passionate about helping organisations maximise the value of their data assets.

At Breadcrumb Digital, our data consultants have extensive experience delivering a broad range of engagements from strategy to architecture and platform delivery.

While we operate across technology platforms, we have deep Microsoft specialist skills. Our certified Microsoft consultants can help our clients navigate the Azure data landscape and establish a secure, scalable foundation based on best practices.

Complete data solutions

Our data and analytics consultants are experts at delivering end-to-end data solutions and – with advancements in the latest low-code and no-code data engineering services – these solutions can be delivered in days, rather than months.

While the diagram below presents an example Microsoft cloud-based data architecture, we work with many variants, including on-premise, hybrid, and Microsoft Fabric architectures.

A typical Microsoft Azure data platform solution delivered by our business intelligence consultants. Includes data sources, data ingestion, data storage, data modelling, and reporting.

Data sources

We have extensive experience collecting and integrating data from a wide variety of sources (Teams, SharePoint, APIs, ERPs, telemetry data, point-of-sale systems, websites, and many others) in a variety of formats (flat files, Excel, JSON, images, video, etc). Depending on the use case, the data can be streamed in real-time, or batch loaded.

Data ingestion

We use automated methods, such as pipelines, to ingest and curate your data. With extensive experience in tools such as Synapse Analytics, Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Factory (ADF), Power Automate, and Logic Apps, we can automate the collection of data, as well as the cleansing and curation of the data into more usable formats.

Data storage

We work with our clients to ensure data storage design matches data consumption needs and aligns to evolving industry best practices. For example, data can be stored in a relational database such as SQL server, a data lake, a data warehouse, or a data lakehouse variant.
Data is typically stored in its raw form in a ‘landing’ zone of a data lake and then transformed via ETL or ELT processing into ‘curated’ zones.

Data modelling

Our data engineers have a broad range of data modelling experience, from transactional schemas for operational systems, through to data warehouse models, for more sophisticated trend reporting.

How much value is hidden in your data?

Many organisations struggle to maximise the potential of their data, instead spending their time in an endless data cleansing and preparation loop.

While modern business intelligence tools can extract powerful insights from data, organisations struggle to adopt and maintain the tools.
