Frequently Asked Questions
What is the QuickLaunch Foundation Pack?
- Automated Data Pipelines: To connect and unify your diverse data sources.
- A Cloud-Native Data Lakehouse: For a scalable, secure, and high-performance data core built on Microsoft Azure and Databricks.
- An Enterprise Analytics Framework: To deliver governed, business-friendly semantic models directly to your users in Power BI.
How does the QuickLaunch Foundation Pack differ from building our own solution?
- Our Approach (The Foundation Pack): We accelerate your time-to-value from years to just 8-12 weeks. Our pre-built components and proven methodology reduce the total cost of ownership by 40-60% and eliminate the common risks associated with large-scale custom data projects. You get an enterprise-grade solution without needing to hire a large team of specialized data engineers.
- Traditional In-House Build: A custom build is a massive undertaking, typically requiring 1-2+ years of development, significant upfront investment in specialized talent, and a high risk of project delays or failure. The ongoing maintenance and governance also create a continuous drain on internal resources.
What data sources can the Foundation Pack connect to?
- ERP Systems (e.g., JD Edwards, NetSuite, SAP, Viewpoint Vista, Spectrum)
- CRM Platforms (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot)
- Financial & HR Systems
- Cloud and On-Premises Databases
- Flat Files, Spreadsheets, and APIs
How much technical expertise do we need to implement and maintain the solution?
- For Implementation: Our team handles the heavy lifting of deployment and configuration.
- For Maintenance: We empower your team. The solution is designed for management by IT generalists or BI administrators, not expensive, hard-to-find data engineering specialists.
- For Business Users: The solution is entirely self-service. Users can securely access governed data and build reports within the familiar Power BI interface without needing any technical backend knowledge.
What's involved in implementing the Foundation Pack?
- Strategic Discovery & Blueprint: We work with your stakeholders to understand your key objectives and map out the implementation plan.
- Rapid Foundation Deployment: Our team deploys and configsures the core infrastructure in your environment.
- Connect & Validate Your Data: We connect to your priority data sources and work with your subject matter experts to validate the data.
- Team Empowerment & Go-Live: We provide role-based training to your team and officially launch your new analytics platform.
Can we customize the solution to our specific needs?
- Extend the Foundation: Easily connect additional or unique data sources to the data lakehouse.
- Build On Top: Your development teams can build custom reports, dashboards, and advanced analytics models on top of the secure, governed data we provide in Power BI.
- Add Application Packs: For even faster insights, you can add our pre-built Application Packs for specific systems like JD Edwards or Vista to decode complex application data instantly.
What resources do we need to commit during implementation?
- A Project Point Person: A dedicated contact on your end to coordinate communication.
- Access to Subject Matter Experts: For the initial discovery phase and data validation, we’ll need input from team members who understand your business processes and data.
- Access to Technical Resources: To provide necessary system credentials and access for data source connections.
How does the Foundation Pack handle data security?
- Cloud Infrastructure Security: We build on the robust, compliant security of the Microsoft Azure cloud platform.
- Data Governance Framework: We establish a framework for data quality, consistency, and management from day one.
- Role-Based Access Control: We integrate with your existing security protocols, like Azure Active Directory, to ensure users only see the data they are authorized to see, right down to the row level in Power BI.
How quickly will we see value from the Foundation Pack?
- Initial Value (Weeks): Your team will begin to see and interact with initial reports and dashboards within the 8-12 week implementation timeframe. This is your immediate return on “time-to-insight.”
- Business Value (Months): The broader business value—such as the operational efficiencies, cost savings, and improved decision-making highlighted in our customer success stories—typically materializes in the months immediately following go-live as your teams adopt the platform.
