Examples of some of our projects:

· We built an analytics platform for a leading fintech company using Azure services, enabling them to scale to 1000+ customers and provide self-service, near real-time analytics. Our solution, based on Azure Synapse, Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, and Power BI, followed the best practices of the Azure Well-Architected Framework, and leveraged migration strategies from Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework. Our automated deployment framework reduced setup time from days to hours. The platform now offers powerful self-service analytics, enabling their customers to reach millions of customers faster and easily integrate machine learning models for innovation.

· We helped an organic supermarket chain migrate to Microsoft Power BI and Azure Synapse to improve their reporting and data analytics capabilities. The previous system was time-consuming, error-prone, and offered limited visualization and self-service capabilities. With the new solution, the client can now perform direct queries between front-end Power BI reports and back-end data, enabling real-time insights and a holistic view across teams. Azure Synapse also provides higher data security. The migration resulted in automatic report generation, reduced operational costs, increased ROI, and better business decisions.

· We are developing multiple products to revolutionize the Power BI experience. EmbedFAST simplifies Power BI integration into applications, eliminating the need for complex coding. LoadFAST unlocks the full potential of Power BI with our automation toolkit. Experience faster loading times and smoother user experience. CertyFAST will streamline Power BI model development with automated error detection, DAX measure formatting, and simplified documentation. Ensure top-notch quality and adherence to best practices in enterprises.

· We developed a chatbot for the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) to improve its Program Service Evaluator (PSE) training. The chatbot used Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services to answer PSE questions based on the policy manual of various state benefit programs. The chatbot learned from user feedback and crawled the policy content automatically. The chatbot increased evaluation efficiency, reduced senior staff time, and provided conversational responses to PSEs. The chatbot integrated seamlessly into the PSEs’ workflow and was accessible through a web interface and Skype for Business.

· Our client, a leader in the energy and utilities sector, needed a scalable solution to analyze large volumes of IoT data from diverse applications. We used Power BI and Azure Data Explorer (ADX) to ingest, transform, and visualize semi-structured JSON data from network logs. Our solution reduced the data refresh time, handled dynamic schema changes, and enabled comprehensive analysis using Direct Query mode. Our client gained real-time insights and a competitive edge in the industry with our robust and effective solution. The solution also facilitated efficient data ingestion and transformation, effectively tackled issues pertaining to data refresh and dynamic schema of data.

· We helped a multinational food and beverage chain to improve its sales forecasting accuracy by building a hybrid machine learning model on Azure Databricks. The model used historical sales, weather, and event data to predict future sales and analyze the impact of various factors on sales. The model also detected and explained seasonal and daily spikes and lag periods. Our model reduced the MAPE value from 0.13 to 0.09 and enabled the client to make better business decisions.
