AI initiatives depend on data that is accessible, governed, well-structured, and reliable across the systems that produce it. Our data architecture consulting brings those pieces together so your teams can build analytics and AI applications without working around fragmented or poorly documented data.
We architect the storage, compute, and catalog layers of a cloud-native data platform as one system instead of three separate procurement decisions, choosing an open table format so query engines can change without a full rebuild.
We design or modernize lakehouse and warehouse environments to give teams a consistent, governed foundation for analytics and AI, while keeping the architecture flexible as your data and query requirements evolve.
Streaming and scheduled pipelines get built side by side, so dashboards refresh in minutes where the business needs it and nightly batch jobs still handle the rest cheaply.
Role-based access, encryption, and lineage tracking get embedded into the architecture itself, not maintained afterward as a compliance checklist nobody keeps current past the audit.
APIs, ERPs, CRMs, and third-party feeds connect through a single integration layer, cutting the point-to-point connections that turn into technical debt the moment a vendor changes its schema.
Storage tiering, compute autoscaling, and workload isolation get designed in from the start, because a platform that is technically correct but burns through cloud budget in year one still needs more work.
Get a practical view of your current architecture, the gaps holding it back, and the changes worth prioritizing.
Discuss Your Data ArchitectureEvery team’s copy of the same customer record evolves independently until nobody can say which version is authoritative.
When a report looks wrong, tracing it back through five hops of unlogged transformations can take longer than rebuilding the report.
Nightly ETL windows mean decisions get made on numbers that were already twelve hours stale by the time anyone opened the dashboard.
Half-finished cloud migration consulting engagements are common: the data moved, but the governance and access model never did, leaving two platforms live at once.
Modern enterprise data environments often combine centralized platform capabilities with distributed ownership. We design the architecture around how your teams use and manage data, bringing together lakehouse foundations, domain-oriented data products, metadata, lineage, and governance where they make sense for your organization.
Lakehouse storage layer designed for scalable analytics and AI workloads
Open data access that supports multiple query engines and data services
Domain-owned data products with clear ownership and quality expectations
Active metadata and automated lineage for better discovery and governance
Federated governance and access controls without creating unnecessary central bottlenecks
Integration across distributed data environments without forcing every workload into one platform
Connects source systems, APIs, and third-party feeds into governed data integration pipelines instead of one-off scripts nobody documented.
Iceberg or Delta tables sit on cloud object storage, giving every downstream tool the same version of the data.
Catalogs, lineage tracking, and metadata management get defined once and enforced everywhere, with access policies maintained centrally instead of per team.
Business definitions get modeled once so a finance analyst and a data scientist querying the same metric get the same number.
Pipeline failures get caught by monitoring before a stakeholder notices a stale dashboard, with clear ownership for every job that runs.
We pull the actual query logs, pipeline run history, and schema change history rather than relying on whatever documentation exists, because on most legacy platforms the documentation is years out of date. This surfaces the tables nobody uses, the joins that silently duplicate rows, and the pipelines quietly doing the same job for different teams.
Before we design anything, we map who actually queries what, how often, and at what latency the business genuinely needs it. A finance close process and a fraud detection model have completely different freshness requirements, and sizing the new architecture to the loudest request instead of the real pattern is how migrations end up overbuilt and over budget.
This is where the lakehouse, mesh, or fabric decision actually gets made, based on the audit findings rather than whatever the last vendor pitched. A single-domain company with one data team rarely needs full mesh; a holding company with six autonomous business units usually does.
Old and new systems run in parallel during cutover, with every report reconciled against both before the legacy platform gets switched off. This is slower than a hard cutover, but it catches a broken revenue report during the reconciliation window, while both platforms are still live and the fix is still easy.
Metadata catalogs and lineage get populated as part of the migration itself, on the same timeline as the rest of the cutover. Access policies from the old platform get mapped explicitly to the new one, row by row.
Storage tiers, compute autoscaling, and query performance get tuned against real production load for four to six weeks after cutover. The architecture that looked correct in a proof of concept with sample data rarely performs identically at real production volume, and that gap is where most vendors consider the engagement already closed.
Not every organization needs the same target state. The pattern below reflects what actually fits a given data environment, matched to timelines based on delivered engagements, not a generic estimate.

Governance needs to be part of the architecture rather than added after the platform is built. We design access, lineage, retention, and audit controls around the sensitivity of your data and the regulatory requirements that apply to its use.
A target-state architecture diagram covering storage, ingestion, governance, and access layers, documented at a level your team can hand to any engineer.
Step-by-step migration sequencing plus a populated data catalog, so lineage and ownership are recorded instead of living in one person's memory.
Role-based access rules and audit logging configuration mapped explicitly from your old platform to the new one, row by row.
A practical projection of compute, storage, and infrastructure costs based on current workloads, expected data growth, and anticipated usage patterns.
Most enterprise data architecture engagements range from $30,000 to $150,000+, depending on your current platform, data complexity, integration requirements, migration scope, and governance needs.
Share your current data environment and we'll help you estimate the right scope and budget.
Data architecture cannot be designed in isolation from the workflows, systems, and regulations surrounding it. We adapt the architecture to the data structures, integration patterns, access requirements, and operational priorities of each industry.
Healthcare platforms often bring together EHRs, billing systems, referral workflows, and clinical data with different structures and standards. The architecture needs to support HL7 and FHIR-based data while maintaining the context required for analytics, reporting, and operational workflows.
Financial platforms need consistent, traceable data for risk models, fraud detection, reporting, and regulatory review. We design data flows with lineage, access controls, and auditability built into the architecture so teams can trace data from its source through downstream use.
Logistics organizations often operate across regional systems, transportation platforms, warehouse systems, and third-party feeds. We design architectures that bring these sources together while supporting real-time operational data, historical analytics, and changing data volumes.
Real estate portfolios typically combine property, tenant, financial, maintenance, and market data across multiple systems. We structure the architecture to create consistent data models and reporting while preserving the property-level and portfolio-level views teams need.

Revolutionizing Import Data Management in Logistics
View Case Study →A current-state audit, a target architecture design across storage, governance, and access layers, and a migration roadmap. This is what our modern data architecture consulting services actually cover, pipeline build included.
Design and blueprinting typically run 4 to 6 weeks. Full migration adds 8 to 16 weeks depending on data volume, source systems, and compliance scope.
It depends on team structure more than data volume. A single data team usually only needs a fabric. Multiple autonomous business units are where mesh earns its complexity.
Not if it is sequenced correctly. Old and new platforms run in parallel with reconciled reports until every dashboard matches before the legacy system is switched off.
Yes. Most engagements build on top of what you already have rather than replacing it, since the platform vendor is rarely the actual bottleneck.
Access policies get mapped explicitly from the old platform to the new one before cutover. That is when governance gaps get caught, well before the next audit would find them.
Both. The team that designs the architecture also delivers the data engineering architecture services underneath it, so nothing gets lost in a handoff to a separate vendor.
Access controls, encryption, and audit logging get built into the architecture from the first design pass, mapped against the specific controls your compliance team already tracks.
A governed, AI-ready data layer with lineage and access controls an AI system can safely read from, plus the metadata catalog that keeps retrieval-augmented workloads accurate.
