01 · FABRIC ACCELERATOR

Production Fabric platform, in six weeks.

Lakehouse, medallion architecture, metadata-driven framework, and a governed serving layer for AI, dashboards, APIs, real-time and batch — fixed-fee, fixed-timeline, and fully yours at handover.

02 / 08The problem

What's expensive.

Building a production Fabric platform from scratch eats four-to-six months of senior engineering time. Hand-rolled pipelines, ad-hoc schemas, no clear medallion contract, governance bolted on at the end. Your roadmap stalls. Your team burns out. The platform you ship is the platform you're stuck with.

03 / 08The solution

What we bring.

A battle-tested Fabric framework — workspace patterns, medallion contracts, a metadata-driven config layer, DQ scaffolding, and a governed serving surface. Tuned over multiple Australian builds. Deployed on your tenant. Yours to extend the day after we leave.

04 / 08What's included

Six pieces, one working platform.

Each line below is a contractual deliverable — not aspiration. Scoped in week one, signed off at handover.

01Included

Fabric workspace + tenant

Configured Microsoft Fabric workspace, capacity sizing, identity, and access controls. Ready to receive your first ingest on day one.

02Included

Lakehouse + warehouse

OneLake-backed lakehouse with a serving warehouse layer. Delta-native, compute-elastic, and tuned for analytical and AI workloads side by side.

03Included

Medallion architecture

Bronze, silver, and gold zones with promotion gates between them. Reproducible loads, full lineage, and clear ownership at every layer.

04Included

Metadata-driven framework

Pipelines, schemas, schedules, and DQ rules expressed as configuration — not hand-coded notebooks. Add a new source by editing a row, not a job.

05Included

Quality + transformation

Cleansing, deduplication, conformance, and DQ checks at each medallion gate. Fail loudly in bronze, never silently in gold.

06Included

Serving layer

AI endpoints, Power BI semantic models, REST APIs, and real-time + batch outputs — modelled once, surfaced everywhere your business needs them.

05 / 08Architecture

From source to serving, governed throughout.

Sources flow through bronze, silver, and gold zones into your serving layer — AI, dashboards, API, real-time and batch — all metadata-driven and governed end-to-end.

06 / 08Timeline

Six weeks. Four phases.

Weekly demos throughout. No twelve-week silence followed by a reveal.

Wk 1–2

Discover & design

Source inventory, target architecture, success metrics, and team alignment workshops. Signed-off design before any code.

Wk 3

Foundation

Workspace, capacity, lakehouse, medallion frame, and the metadata-driven config layer all in place. First bronze loads land.

Wk 4–5

Pipelines + serving

Silver and gold transformations, data-quality gates, semantic models, and API + dashboard surfaces wired to real data.

Wk 6

Ship + enable

Production cutover, runbooks, documentation, and hands-on training for your team. We hand over the keys before we leave.

07 / 08Who it's for

Built for you if…

  • 01

    You're modernising a legacy SQL Server, SSAS, or on-prem warehouse and want to land on Microsoft Fabric without a 9-month rebuild.

  • 02

    You need a governed lakehouse with AI-ready data — and you'd rather not invent the medallion framework from scratch.

  • 03

    You want to ship a production data platform on a fixed timeline, not an open-ended consulting engagement.

  • 04

    You'll have an in-house team take over once it's live, and you need them trained on the framework, not just the output.

  • 05

    You require Australian-hosted, sovereign-friendly infrastructure with full IP ownership on day one.

08 / 08What you keep

At handover, you own everything.

01

Production Fabric platform

Running on your tenant, governed, audited, and connected to real source systems.

02

Full IP + source ownership

Pipelines, configs, semantic models, runbooks — every artefact yours to extend.

03

Trained in-house team

Documented patterns and walkthrough sessions so your engineers own the next change.

04

Optional managed support

Continue with us for SLAs, monitoring, and roadmap execution — or run it yourselves.

Questions

Frequently asked.

The full six-week build of a production Fabric platform — workspace, lakehouse, medallion architecture, metadata-driven framework, DQ pipelines, and the serving layer. Scope is agreed in week one and locked. Anything outside the agreed scope is a separate change order.

We scope two complimentary discovery sessions before pricing. If your environment needs more than the standard package — exotic source systems, very high throughput, regulatory specifics — we either extend the engagement or split it into a foundation build plus a follow-on phase.

Yes. Source code, configs, schemas, pipelines, semantic models, and documentation are all transferred to your tenant and your repos. There is no Domato-hosted layer, no licensing trap, and no vendor lock-in.

That is the design. The metadata-driven framework, runbooks, and team training are scoped so a competent in-house data team can extend the platform on their own. Ongoing support is available if you want it — never required.

Microsoft Fabric consolidates lakehouse, warehouse, real-time, and AI compute in one governed surface — and pairs cleanly with the rest of the Microsoft estate most Australian organisations already run. For greenfield builds and most modernisations, the consolidation pays back fast.
