Simpson Associates, leading data transformation consultancy and managed service provider, is thrilled to announce a partnership with The Sovini Group to implement Microsoft’s Fabric Platform. This collaboration will start with Simpson Associates’ Proof of Concept (POC) to explore how Fabric can unleash Sovini’s data potential.
The Sovini Group has a history of utilising Microsoft technology and is committed to remaining industry leading. Recognising the potential of Fabric, they’ve chosen Simpson Associates as their delivery partner to develop and implement a Microsoft Fabric Platform solution, aiming to gain valuable skills from it in the process. The Fabric Platform aligns perfectly to the Sovini Group commitment to staying ahead of the curve.
Unleashing Sovini’s data potential with Fabric
The Simpson Associates-Sovini POC will revolutionise the way Sovini utilises its data, unlocking the power of their data and streamlining their daily business functions.
Following a collaborative discovery phase and a security assessment with the Sovini team, the POC will focus on the delivery of a Data Lakehouse based on the Microsoft Fabric platform. Simpson Associates-Sovini Fabric POC provides several key functionalities: the ability to store data in its native format, streamlined data transformation and querying capability, capturing of data lineage and glossary, and seamless extension to AI solutions as new use cases emerge.
This process has been designed to consider Sovini’s wider strategic objectives, ensuring a personalised and comprehensive understanding of Microsoft Fabric’s functionalities for their specific needs. The POC will also provide the Sovini team to opportunity to collaborate with the Simpson Associates experts. This collaboration will not only equip the Sovini team with valuable data skills but also empower them to seamlessly continue using the platform after the POC concludes.
“This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the Group’s data journey with our move to Fabric revolutionising the way we use data. This POC will allow us to harness knowledge and empower our team to do even more with data.
With Simpson Associates, we are shaping the future of the housing industry through cutting-edge technology, and I look forward to seeing what we can achieve.”
