What is data warehouse consulting?

  • What is data warehouse consulting?

    Data warehouse consulting assesses how a company stores and reports on its data, designs the target warehouse or lakehouse, and plans and delivers the build, migration and optimization, covering platform choice, data model, pipelines, governance and cost.

  • What do data warehouse consulting services include?

    An assessment of the current estate, a target design on Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery or Databricks, a dimensional or lakehouse data model, ELT pipelines, a catalog with lineage, access control, and a migration plan with parallel runs and reconciliation.

  • What does a data warehouse consultant do?

    A consultant inventories the sources, reports and pipelines, models the warehouse around the questions the business asks, chooses the platform for the workloads and budget, and proves every pipeline against a baseline before cutover.

When data warehouse consulting is the right call

  1. Reports disagree with each other

    Three teams, three numbers for revenue. The warehouse is where one definition of the truth gets modeled and enforced.

  2. The warehouse is slow or expensive

    Queries that time out, a monthly bill that only goes up, or an on-premises appliance nearing its end of support.

  3. AI and analytics need a foundation

    Machine learning and self-service analytics need governed, documented, reliable data. That foundation is the warehouse or lakehouse, built right once.

Data warehouse, data lake or lakehouse

Three platform shapes that get called a data warehouse. The assessment chooses one for your workloads and budget, not by default.

  • Data warehouse Structured, modeled data tuned for reporting and BI
  • Data lake Raw and semi-structured data on object storage
  • Lakehouse Object storage with warehouse performance and governance on top

How does a data warehouse project run?

  • How do companies use data warehouse consulting?

    To consolidate reporting on one platform, to move an on-premises warehouse to the cloud, to replace a warehouse that has grown slow and expensive, and to put the governed foundation in place that analytics and AI depend on.

  • What is the data warehouse consulting process?

    Assess, design, build or migrate, optimize. A two-week assessment with an inventory and a costed plan, a target design and data model, pipelines built as code and tested against a baseline, migration in phases with parallel runs, then tuning and cost control.

  • How long does a data warehouse project take?

    The assessment takes two weeks. A first warehouse phase typically runs eight to twelve weeks. A migration runs in phases scoped and priced after the assessment, each with a parallel run before cutover.

How data warehouse consulting works with us

Engineers use AI at every stage. A person owns every pipeline that ships.

  1. Weeks 1 to 2

    Assessment

    Sources, reports, pipelines and costs are inventoried, and the target platform and data model are chosen with reasons.

    • Inventory and target design
    • A phased plan with a price per phase
  2. Weeks 3 to 6

    Design and foundation

    The data model and naming standards are agreed, and storage, compute and access control are built as code.

    • Data model and standards
    • Catalog and lineage in place before data flows
  3. Weeks 7 to 12

    Build or migrate

    ELT pipelines are built and tested against a baseline, with parallel runs until row counts and checksums match.

    • Pipelines as code, tested against a baseline
    • Reconciliation reports before cutover
  4. Ongoing

    Optimize and run

    Queries and cost are tuned every month, data quality checks run inside the pipelines, and your team is trained to run the platform.

    • Monthly query and cost tuning
    • Your team trained to run it

A warehouse you can trust on day one

The method is the same on every platform. Inventory first, baseline everything, cut over only on evidence.

  • 2 weeks from kickoff to a costed plan
  • 100% of pipelines tested against a baseline before they run on your data
  • 4 platforms Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery and Databricks, chosen per workload
  • 3 zones HIPAA, PCI and GDPR designed into the model where they apply

Delivered under the controls audited for our SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programs, on AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud.

What are the benefits of data warehouse consulting?

  • Why hire a data warehouse consulting company?

    Because the platform is easy to buy and hard to model. A consulting partner brings the data models, the migration tooling and the reconciliation method that make the warehouse trusted on day one, without a year of internal build.

  • What are the key benefits of a modern data warehouse?

    One source of truth for reporting, queries that return in seconds on cloud storage, cost that scales with use rather than with hardware, lineage that answers auditors, and a foundation ready for machine learning.

  • How does a data warehouse improve business performance?

    By shortening the path from a question to a trusted answer, retiring the reporting systems that disagreed with each other, and giving finance, operations and AI teams numbers they can rely on.

Insights

FAQ

Which data warehouse platform do you recommend?

The one the assessment picks for your workloads, budget and team, whether that is Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery or Databricks. We are partnered with AWS and Databricks and build on all four.

Can you migrate our on-premises warehouse to the cloud?

Yes. Migration runs in fixed-scope phases, each priced before it starts, with parallel runs and reconciliation reports until the numbers match. See our cloud data migration services.

How do you keep the numbers accurate through a migration?

Row counts, checksums and reconciliation reports at every phase, pipelines tested against a baseline before they run on your data, and cutover only when they match.

Who owns the warehouse afterwards?

You do. The model, pipelines and infrastructure are delivered as code into your repositories and accounts, and your team is trained to run them.

Do you handle regulated data?

Yes. HIPAA, PCI and GDPR zones are designed into the model, access follows your policies, and our own delivery is audited under SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

Do we need a data warehouse or a data lake?

Usually a lakehouse, which is object storage with warehouse performance and governance on top. Our guide on data lake vs data warehouse walks through the choice, and the assessment settles it for your case.

How do you use AI in delivery?

Our engineers use AI at every stage, profiling sources and drafting models, pipelines, tests and documentation. Every result is verified by an engineer against a baseline before it ships.

What do data warehouse consultants do in the first two weeks?

Our data warehouse consultants inventory the sources, reports, pipelines and costs, interview the people who own the numbers, choose the target platform and data model with reasons, and hand you a phased plan with a price for each phase.

Do you provide data warehousing services after the build?

Yes. Data warehousing services continue after go-live as query and cost tuning, data quality checks in the pipelines, new sources and marts, and training for the team that runs the platform.
