The Data#3 Data Platform and Analytics Assessment is a structured, Microsoft-aligned engagement that helps organisations clarify their data and analytics vision, prioritise high-value opportunities, and define a clear, actionable roadmap for modern analytics.
Delivered by Data#3’s Analytics and AI specialists, it cuts through complexity, aligns business and IT stakeholders, and validates the right next steps before significant platform investment.
Where appropriate, the engagement can extend into a targeted Proof of Value (PoV), delivering a KPI-aligned working prototype to demonstrate measurable impact before scaling. In many cases, Microsoft funding programs* may partially subsidise the assessment, reducing risk and accelerating progress.
The outputs provide a blueprint for a well-governed, scalable data platform, including a clear pathway to Microsoft Fabric, enterprise-ready analytics, and readiness for advanced AI and agentic workloads.
Move from uncertainty to measurable insight in weeks, not months.

*Assessments may attract Microsoft funding support. Eligibility is determined by Microsoft. The engagement provides detailed insights within a defined scope; any requests outside scope may incur additional costs, which will be communicated in advance.
