Data engineering and Power BI on Microsoft Fabric and Azure

We build data platforms on Microsoft Fabric and Azure Synapse, and the Power BI dashboards and semantic models that sit on top of them. Then we run what we build, with daily health checks and cloud spend kept within budget.

Data engineering

ETL and ELT pipelines on Microsoft Fabric and Azure Synapse that move data from your source systems into a governed, analysis-ready lakehouse or warehouse. Loads are set by configuration, so adding a source or changing a schedule doesn't need a software release.

Power BI analytics

Power BI dashboards, semantic models and real-time KPIs. Each person sees the level of detail their role needs, so the reports get used.

Engineered like software

Git-integrated Fabric workspaces, infrastructure defined as code in Bicep, and deployments through CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps or GitHub.

Operations

We run what we build, with monitoring, patching and automated daily health checks. Each morning the checks review storage, query and pipeline activity and summarise it in plain language, so anomalies and cost spikes are caught early.

Technical leadership

We design the architecture for your whole data estate. When you need a tech lead, a CoVault developer can set delivery standards and lead your team.

How we work with you

Scoped with you

We agree the scope and pricing in a consultation. Larger builds, such as a new platform, are quoted first and start once you've agreed in writing.

Inside your estate

We work inside your Microsoft data estate and to your delivery standards. Only a CoVault developer changes production data, identity or cloud configuration.

AI-accelerated, reviewed by a developer

AI engineering agents help us build faster, and a developer reviews every change before it reaches production. How we build with AI

Data and analytics questions

Do you work with our existing data platform?

Yes. We work inside your Microsoft data estate and to your delivery standards.

How do you charge for data work?

We agree pricing with you in a consultation, based on the work. Larger pieces, such as building a new platform, are quoted first and start once you've agreed in writing. Azure costs are billed to you directly.

Which technology do you use?

Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure SQL, Azure Data Lake Storage, Spark and Python notebooks, and Power BI. Infrastructure is defined as code in Bicep and delivered through Azure DevOps or GitHub.

How do you keep cloud costs under control?

Automated daily health checks review the platform's storage, query and pipeline activity each morning and summarise it in plain language, so anomalies and cost spikes are caught early.

Can you lead our data team?

Yes. A CoVault developer can act as tech lead, owning the architecture, setting delivery standards and directing the team. We do this today for a logistics group.

Do you also build applications on top of the data?

Yes. The team that engineers your data also builds business applications, like our own Co-Fin and Co-Track, so there are no hand-offs between the two.
