Service · Data Platform & Fabric
Microsoft Fabric implementation for UK SMEs — done properly
From architecture design to a live, governed, production-ready Fabric platform. Senior-led, Microsoft-exclusive, at 50% of Big 5 rates — with full documentation and knowledge transfer so your team owns it when we leave.
What we deliver
Six areas of Fabric and data platform delivery
End-to-end capability across the full Microsoft Fabric stack — from architecture through to governance, reporting, and team enablement.
Fabric Implementation
End-to-end implementation of Microsoft Fabric — from architecture design through to a live, governed, production-ready platform. We don't hand over a proof of concept; we deliver a solution your team can actually run.
Data Platform Architecture
Architecture design for organisations starting from scratch or rebuilding on modern foundations. OneLake, Lakehouse, Warehouse — we design the right structure for your data volume, team capability, and growth plans.
Data Pipeline Engineering
Build reliable data pipelines that move and transform your data from source systems into Fabric — automating the manual processes your team currently does by hand.
Power BI Migration
Migrate existing Power BI reports into the Fabric environment, optimise data models, and rebuild reporting that your team can maintain without specialist support.
Governance & Security
Row-level security, workspace access controls, data classification, and audit trail configuration. Your data properly governed from day one — not retrofitted later.
Team Enablement
Knowledge transfer sessions, documentation, and runbooks so your team owns the solution. We build it so you can run it — not so you're dependent on us indefinitely.
Our approach
Five phases. No surprises.
A structured delivery approach that gives you visibility at every stage — and a platform you can actually run at the end of it.
Discover
We map your current data estate — what you have, where it lives, how it flows, and what the business needs from it. No assumptions, no shortcuts.
Design
Architecture design tailored to your scale, your team, and your budget. We present options with honest trade-offs — you make the decisions.
Build
Senior-led implementation. The architect who designed it is the engineer who builds it. No hand-offs, no knowledge gaps.
Validate
Testing, performance validation, security review, and user acceptance. We don't go live until you're confident it works.
Enable
Documentation, knowledge transfer, and handover. Your team runs the platform. We're available for support if you need it.
Why Data Partners
Senior Microsoft expertise at SME-appropriate rates
Specialism
Microsoft-exclusive depth
We work exclusively on the Microsoft stack. That means we've seen every Fabric pattern, every common mistake, and every gotcha — and we build solutions that avoid them.
Delivery
Senior-led, not junior-delivered
The architect who designs your solution is the practitioner who builds it. No graduates, no hand-offs, no gaps between design intent and implementation reality.
Pricing
50% of Big 5 rates
At £900/day, you get the same senior Microsoft expertise as the major consultancies — without the empty offices, offshore teams, and management layers you're paying for.
Outcome
You own it when we leave
Full documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer are standard. We measure success by whether your team can run the platform independently.
