MDS - Modern Analytics Jumpstart: Assessment and PoV

Accelerate your analytics modernization with an Azure Data Platform Assessment and Proof of Value (PoV) delivered by Maureen Data Systems (MDS).

Organizations are under increasing pressure to unlock value from their data, but many lack the clarity, architecture, and alignment needed to move forward. This engagement helps you assess your current data landscape, define high-impact use cases, and validate real outcomes using modern Azure analytics services.

MDS works with your team to build a clear path forward using Microsoft Fabric (including Power BI) and/or Azure Databricks, ensuring your analytics initiatives are scalable, secure, and aligned to business priorities.

What This Engagement Covers: This structured engagement includes both an assessment and a hands-on Proof of Value (PoV):

• Envisioning & Use Case Prioritization Align stakeholders on business goals, pain points, and high-impact analytics use cases
• Data Platform Readiness Assessment Evaluate your current architecture, data sources, integration patterns, security posture, and governance
• Proof of Value (PoV) Build Develop a working prototype demonstrating an end-to-end analytics workflow (e.g., ingestion → modeling → analytics/BI)
• Enablement, Documentation & Roadmap Deliver knowledge transfer, recommended architecture, and a roadmap to move from PoV to production

• A clear modernization path aligned to business and technical requirements
