Step 2 · Foundation
Modern Data Platform Build
One governed platform that every report and every AI tool can trust.
We choose the platform to fit the skills and systems you already have, then design and build the foundation one phase at a time, starting where value is highest, so value lands early and reporting keeps running. A phase is one subject area, such as finance or student, taken through a curated layer, a semantic model, and a handover to your team. Pipelines pull from Banner (Oracle) and other campus systems; dbt builds cleansed and curated layers with tests; history is preserved for census snapshots and longitudinal reporting; and a catalog records ownership and lineage. Your staff build alongside us and own it at the end.
What you get
- Target architecture and phased delivery plan
- Source pipelines with incremental loads and change capture
- dbt cleansed and curated layers with automated tests
- Census snapshots and historical change tracking
- Data catalog, lineage, and runbooks; knowledge transfer to your team
How you'll know it worked
- Less staff time spent extracting and reconciling data
- Legacy reporting retired on schedule, with less technical debt
- Your team runs and extends the platform without us
