Frequently asked questions 

Are Data Vault and Microsoft Azure a good combination?
Yes — Microsoft Azure and Data Vault are a highly complementary pairing for modern data platforms. Azure provides the scalability, security, and integrated services needed to support enterprise-grade analytics and AI, while Data Vault offers a disciplined, modular approach to integrating and governing data across silos. Together, they enable fast, flexible delivery without sacrificing control or auditability. This webinar explores why the combination works — and where the pitfalls are if not implemented correctly.
What are the key benefits of Microsoft Azure?

Azure offers a scalable, cloud-native foundation that aligns well with enterprise IT strategies. Key benefits include: 

  • Elastic performance and pay-as-you-go infrastructure, reducing reliance on hardware
  • Integrated tooling across data warehousing, pipelining, governance, and AI
  • Seamless fit with existing Microsoft ecosystems, including Power BI and Active Directory
  • Built-in security and compliance certifications
  • Support for hybrid and multi-cloud scenarios, making it a flexible long-term option 
The webinar outlines how these strengths directly support sustainable, future-ready data architectures. 
What are the key benefits of Data Vault?

Data Vault is a proven modelling approach that enables scalable, auditable, and flexible data integration. Its key benefits include: 

  • Insert-only architecture with full history tracking, ideal for audit and compliance
  • Separation of business logic and raw data, supporting agility and modular delivery
  • Support for agile, iterative development, enabling fast delivery of business value
  • Compatibility with automation tools, reducing manual effort and project risk
  • Well-suited for data product thinking, with clear lineage and trust built in 
This webinar explains how Data Vault works in practice — especially in a cloud-native Azure environment. 
Is this webinar focused on strategy or implementation?
The focus is strategic — ideal for business and IT leaders making architectural decisions. We cover implementation considerations, but always from a leadership perspective.
We are considering Azure — is this webinar relevant?
Absolutely. If you are moving to Azure or evaluating it as your cloud platform of choice, this webinar will help you assess whether Data Vault complements that move — and what it means for your long-term data roadmap.
What exactly is covered about Data Vault?
We explain the fundamentals of Data Vault 2.0, where it fits in a modern Azure environment, how it supports data product thinking, and why it’s become the modelling standard for scalable, governed cloud platforms.
Does this session promote IRiS?
IRiS is briefly introduced as an example of automation that plays well with Azure — but the majority of the content is focused on platform design, strategy, and what to watch out for. No hard sell.
Do you show tools in action?
In this session, we offer a high-level walkthrough of architecture and automation. A more detailed demo is available in Part 2 of the series, which you’ll be invited to after this session.
Can I share this with my team?
Yes — the session is free and on-demand, so your broader team can watch anytime.
IRiS is developed and delivered in partnership with leading companies worldwide
