Why so many modern data projects stall  

If you are under pressure to modernise your data platform but are unsure where to begin, you are not alone. Many enterprise data leaders face the same obstacles:

  • Too many choices
  • Conflicting priorities
  • Internal skill gaps
  • Fear of making an expensive mistake

 

Without a clear path forward, progress slows, opportunities are missed and your legacy warehouse continues to deteriorate. Meanwhile, large consulting engagements can feel risky due to the high cost, long lead times, and no guarantee of early results.

The Modern Data Platform Launchpad is designed to break through this inertia by helping you start with clarity, build confidence with early wins, and scale out without creating technical debt.

The Launchpad difference

Launchpad is a clear, calm way to start — and scale — your modern data journey. It replaces lengthy, high-commitment consulting engagements with a modular, phased approach that delivers value fast while building for the future.

Frictionless start

Move forward with a proven plan, shared team alignment, and something tangible to show in weeks, not months.

Built to scale

Get a strong, governed foundation designed for growth. Your platform evolves with you, avoiding costly rework.

Embedded expertise

Work directly with senior experts who stay close to delivery, leveraging the Launchpad framework and modular assets, minimising your team's learning curve.

Road-tested results 

Leverage patterns and methods proven across industries to deliver real, measurable outcomes early - and keep building on them.

How it works

Launchpad follows a simple, repeatable three-phase process, designed to reduce risk and maximise return on investment.

Replacing or augmenting legacy platforms

Data sharing across the organisation

Whether you’re adopting a data mesh approach or simply want to break down silos, Launchpad makes it easy to create governed data products that can be shared and consumed with confidence.

Why Launchpad works

Launchpad makes medallion architecture work.

It combines the agility of small-scale delivery with the discipline of enterprise architecture. The result is a platform that: 

  • Delivers working outputs in the first sprint through best-practice patterns 
  • Uses a phased model and modular assets as and when the business need arises 
  • Reduces risk with Privacy, Security & Governance by design 
  • Supports analytics, AI, and generative AI from day one 
  • Works across leading Lakehouse platforms including Databricks, Snowflake, and Microsoft Fabric on Azure or AWS 

Unlike many other approaches to modern data platforms, you do not need to trade speed for quality. Launchpad is designed to give you both.
