The challenge

Manual efforts and evolving schema with outpaced legacy systems

Legacy data systems struggled to handle growing data volumes, evolving schemas, frequent updates, and complex access requirements. Their limited scalability and unreliable refresh capabilities led to stale, inconsistent data. As a result, many businesses resorted to manual processing, causing delays and fragmented insights, ultimately hindering timely decision-making, secure collaboration, and agility across the product lifecycle.



Key challenges

  • Delayed insights from non-scalable data architecture

  • High manual overhead in transformation processes

  • Limited secure access for diverse business units

  • No clear lineage or governance across data layers

  • Schema evolution in critical datasets

The solution

Medallion architecture for evolving schema and RLS to govern at scale

Dynamic data modeling

Metadata-driven schema generation

4-hour schema refreshes

Parallel refresh pipelines

Safe transformation

Access and governance

Maintaining mappings for various business and AAD groups for RLS

Audit-ready admin/user group separation

Role-based access and filtering
