// 01
We know what to build. We're short on capacity.
The roadmap is clear, but the team is stretched. A deadline is approaching and you need someone who can contribute to delivery.
// 05 / Consulting & Specialist Support
You don't need another strategy deck. You need someone who can do the work.
Experienced Power BI, data engineering, Microsoft Fabric and Databricks support when your team needs extra capacity, specialist expertise or an independent second opinion.
// Practical help. No unnecessary project.
// Where we come in
Your team has a blocker. We help get past it.
Sometimes the work is already clear, but there aren't enough hands. Sometimes a technical decision needs experience the team doesn't have in-house. Sometimes you just need an independent assessment before spending more money.
SPECIALIST SUPPORT / EXAMPLE WORKSTREAM
● TRIAGE BEFORE DELIVERY
// THE BLOCKERS
ISSUE / 001
Power BI model is slow
Reports have become difficult to use and nobody is sure where the bottleneck sits.
ISSUE / 002
Fabric architecture decision
The team needs a technical review before committing to a larger platform change.
ISSUE / 003
Pipeline delivery is behind
The scope is understood, but internal engineering capacity is limited.
// THE RESPONSE
01
Investigate
Inspect the actual model, pipeline or technical decision rather than guessing from symptoms.
02
Recommend
Explain the options, trade-offs and the smallest sensible next step.
03
Deliver or hand over
Make the agreed change or give the internal team a clear, actionable way forward.
// Illustrative support workflow. Actual engagement scope depends on the problem, access and team requirements.
// When we're useful
Does any of this sound familiar?
You don't always need a new consultancy project. Sometimes you need the right person to unblock an existing one.
// 02
We've hit something we haven't dealt with before.
A difficult DAX issue, a Fabric architecture decision, an unreliable pipeline or a migration that needs specialist experience.
// 03
We want a second opinion before committing.
A proposed rebuild, platform change or technical investment sounds expensive. You want an independent assessment of whether it's necessary.
// How we can work together
Three ways we usually help.
The technical work might involve Power BI, Fabric, Databricks or data engineering. This is about how we fit into your team, not about selling a predefined package.
01 / Capacity
Temporary reinforcement
Your team knows the work. It just needs experienced hands for a defined stretch: a project, a deadline or a temporary gap in delivery capacity.
02 / Expertise
Specialist intervention
A problem needs skills or experience the internal team doesn't currently have. We investigate, solve or support the specific technical challenge.
03 / Perspective
Independent second opinion
Before committing to a platform, proposal or rebuild, get an independent assessment of the options and what actually needs to change.
// Where we can contribute
Experienced help across the data stack.
Support can be focused on one specific issue or form part of a broader delivery effort.
Power BI & semantic modelling
DAX, model performance, report design, security, metric definitions and troubleshooting.
Microsoft Fabric
Lakehouses, warehouses, data pipelines, platform architecture and workload implementation.
Data engineering & SQL
ETL/ELT pipelines, dimensional modelling, data quality, transformations and integration issues.
Databricks
Lakehouse engineering, Spark workloads, data pipelines and architecture reviews.
Migrations & modernisation
Legacy reporting and data platform assessments, migration planning, implementation and validation.
Independent technical reviews
Architecture assessments, troubleshooting, cost and complexity considerations, and practical recommendations.
// How it works
No lengthy discovery project just to understand the problem.
We start with a straightforward technical conversation about what you're trying to achieve, where you're stuck and what help would actually be useful.
If the need is clear, we can discuss a focused scope. If it isn't, the sensible first step may be a short assessment.
And if the existing team can solve it with a small change, there's no reason to turn that into a large engagement.
01
Tell us what's happening
Explain the project, technical issue or capacity gap and what outcome you need.
02
Agree on the useful next step
Decide whether the situation calls for delivery support, an intervention or an independent review.
03
Do the work
Work alongside your team on the agreed technical scope with clear communication and ownership.
04
Leave the team in control
Document important changes, share the reasoning and make sure the team can maintain the result.
// Consulting FAQs
Common questions.
How is this different from your other services?
The other service pages describe the technical work we deliver. This page explains how we're brought in: as temporary reinforcement, specialist support or an independent second opinion.
Can you start without a lengthy onboarding process?
For direct engagements, we can usually begin with a short technical conversation. Where procurement or approved-supplier processes apply, we can work within them.
Do you work alongside our existing team?
Yes. The aim is to add capacity or specialist expertise where it's needed, while keeping the internal team involved and in control.
What if you conclude we don't need a project?
Then we'll say so. An independent assessment should help you avoid unnecessary work, not create more of it.
How long do engagements usually run?
That depends on the work. A focused assessment may take a few days, while ongoing delivery support can run for several months. We scope the engagement around the actual need.
Can you work through a recruitment agency or existing supplier?
Yes. Where appropriate, we can work through an approved recruitment agency, consultancy, broker or supplier framework already used by your organisation.
// Looking for a specific service?
The technical work is the same. The engagement is different.
If you already know the type of work you need, these pages explain the relevant capabilities in more detail.
// Let's look at the actual problem
Need experienced hands or just a straight answer?
Tell us what your team is working on, where things are stuck and what help would make the difference. We'll discuss the most sensible way forward.
