Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics
Synapse brings data warehousing and big data analytics together, with real-time insight through Power BI and predictive modelling on top. We design it around the decisions you need to make, and size it so the cost stays predictable.
If Microsoft Fabric alone would meet the requirement more simply, we will say so before designing anything larger.
Sound familiar?
When numbers are assembled by hand from separate systems, the meeting is spent agreeing the figures rather than acting on them.
Each built from a different extract, so the meeting is spent reconciling rather than deciding.
One person knows how, and the business quietly depends on them being available.
The warehouse was sized for a smaller company and nobody has revisited it.
So questions that span production, stock and margin cannot be answered in one place.
The history exists, but nothing is modelled well enough to predict from.
What it actually does
Synapse is flexible, which is exactly why it needs deliberate design rather than defaults.
Synapse brings enterprise data warehousing together with big data analytics, querying structured and unstructured data through dedicated or serverless SQL pools and Spark.
What this gives you
Swipe, drag or use the arrow keys to move between decisions.
Synapse usually sits on top of Azure Data Lake and is consumed through Power BI and Microsoft Fabric. Prediction on top of it is covered under predictive intelligence.
How we deliver it
Definitions, ownership, data quality and cost control decide whether the platform is still trusted a year later.
Before anything is provisioned, we agree what questions the platform has to answer and who owns each definition.
If Microsoft Fabric alone would meet the requirement more simply, we will say so rather than build more than you need.

Why InteliSense
A warehouse that does not change a decision is a cost centre with good documentation.
We start from the questions the business cannot answer today, not from a reference architecture.
Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure and third-party sources delivered by one accountable team.
Serverless against dedicated, pause schedules and refresh frequency are design decisions we take with you.
Measures are defined and owned before dashboards are built, so reporting stops being contested.
If your history will not support a reliable forecast, we would rather fix the history than sell a model.
Ongoing support, tuning and optimisation with named ownership, not a handover pack.
