Databricks & Microsoft Fabric

A data platform in 90 days that's actually productive

No two-year platform project, no data lake graveyard. We build your lakehouse on Databricks or Fabric around a real use case – with governance, BI and AI from day one.

Why now

You know the symptoms. We fix the cause.

Depending on your role the problem sounds different – the root cause is the same. Pick your perspective and see what a modern data platform solves structurally.

Decide instead of guess

Decisions are based on gut feeling instead of numbers

A management cockpit with up-to-date metrics – from group KPI down to the machine, all from one source.

In meetings we debate numbers instead of actions

A certified data model as your single source of truth – metrics defined once, valid everywhere.

We don't know what AI actually delivers for us

A use case backlog with a business case per idea. We start with the one that pays off within months.

Architecture

Medallion lakehouse instead of data silos

Three layers, one foundation: raw data stays untouched, the middle layer creates reliability, and at the top, data products emerge that your business teams can use right away.

Bronze

Everything in – nothing lost

Every source is ingested unchanged: ERP, MES, sensors, APIs, files. Batch and streaming run through the same ingestion, append-only and with full history. Bronze is deliberately not interpreted – it is the reproducible memory of the platform.

Guarantee: Technical source schema, no business guaranteeUsers: Data engineering

Important: freshness is not created by the layer, it comes from the ingestion pattern. Streaming sources are available near real-time in all three layers, batch sources are as fresh as their load interval. The layers differ in maturity, ownership and guarantee – not in speed.

GenAI assistant

Chat with your Data

Ask questions about your data in natural language. The assistant answers complex questions, creates complete dashboards on request and cites every source.

Fachbereiche entscheiden selbst

Anwender stellen Fragen in natürlicher Sprache – ohne Tickets, ohne Wartezeit auf das BI-Team. Das beschleunigt Analysen um bis zu 80 % und entlastet Data-Teams.

Vom Prompt zum entscheidungsreifen Dashboard

In Sekunden entstehen Cockpits mit KPIs, Charts und Drilldowns. Unternehmen verkürzen Time-to-Insight von Tagen auf Minuten und reagieren schneller auf Marktveränderungen.

Vertrauenswürdige Antworten aus dem Gold-Layer

Jede Aussage basiert auf zertifizierten, governance-geschützten KPIs. Das eliminiert „Excel-Wahrheiten“, senkt Fehlentscheidungen und schafft einheitliche Datenkultur.

Sicher & DSGVO-konform skaliert

Rechte, Rollen und Data-Lineage bleiben erhalten. Unternehmen minimieren Compliance-Risiken und können GenAI-gestützte Analysen regulatorisch sicher ausrollen.

Technology

Databricks or Microsoft Fabric?

We're at home in both worlds and don't sell licenses. The decision is made based on your workloads, your team and your cost structure.

Lakehouse for AI & scale

Databricks

  • Delta Lake & Unity Catalog as an open foundation
  • Best choice for ML, streaming and large data volumes
  • Multi-cloud: Azure, AWS or GCP
SaaS platform for M365 environments

Microsoft Fabric

  • OneLake, Power BI and Copilot integrated out of the box
  • Fast start without a dedicated platform team
  • Ideal if Azure & Microsoft 365 are already in place

Still unsure?

Our assessment delivers a well-reasoned decision template including a 3-year cost comparison – non-binding and free of charge.

Ready for your business case?

Answer the four questions above to calculate your business case.

An initial indication — not a full business-case calculation

The calculator deliberately uses only a few variables. A robust business case depends on many more factors: data availability and quality, existing systems and interfaces, process maturity, rollout scope, change and training effort, operating model, regulatory requirements, and actual cost and contribution-margin structures. We review these factors together and then calculate the case using your real figures.

Frequently asked questions

Databricks or Fabric – what fits us?+

Fabric shines when Azure and Microsoft 365 are already in place and BI is the priority. Databricks is the better choice for large data volumes, streaming and demanding machine learning. In the assessment we decide this based on your workloads, skills and costs – not license interests.

Do we have to migrate everything before we see value?+

No. We build the platform around a concrete use case. Within 90 days at the latest, a productive data product is live, and the rest grows domain by domain.

What happens to our existing systems?+

We connect SAP, Salesforce, MES, IoT or legacy DWH via standard connectors. Existing reports are phased out gradually, not switched off overnight.

Do we need our own data team?+

Not at the start. We deliver architecture and operations, build your internal know-how in parallel, and hand over responsibility once you're ready.
