DELIVERING VALUE TO YOUR BUSINESS
Microsoft Data & AI
Microsoft provide market leading Data & AI tooling to allow organisations to leverage the value in their information assets to surface insights to drive decisions across multiple sectors and organisation sizes. Here at Inciper we believe the value that can be realised through effective data management, visualisation, analytics and AI can drive competitive advantage for your organisation.
Visualisation & Analytics
To support data driven decision making, organisations have come to understand that a picture can paint a thousand words. Dashboards and analytics based on multiple sources of information have become the norm for many businesses, and Microsoft tooling provides organisations with the tools to become self sufficient in serving dashboards and reports to end users.
At Inciper, we pride ourselves on delivering quality implementations that can be evolved and enhanced by our customers. With Power BI in Fabric, Microsoft’s unified analytics solution, Microsoft provide a market leading BI toolset to allow connecting to a variety of data sources, modelling and transforming the data and surfacing rich, interactive visualisations that support ‘speed of thought’ analysis by end users.

Data Engineering
The variety and volume of data available to businesses is ever growing. From internal line of business systems to 3rd party data providers, the wealth of data to support data driven decision making allows organisations to gain competitive advantage by using available data.
But how do organisations ensure they can extract, transform and load the data from multiple different sources into a data lake or data warehouse? Microsoft’s data engineering tools provide the mechanism for organisations to leverage their data assets to drive decision-making in a robust, automated, repeatable approach.
Providing Software-as-a-service (SaaS) options like Synapse Data Engineering or Data Factory or Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) options like Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory and Azure Databricks, Microsoft support implementation of robust, repeatable data pipelines from data professionals and citizen developers alike.
Data Management
The value of data to your organisation will be increased with a resilient, future proof data management approach for Data & AI.
Focusing on effective data management aligned to your Data & AI use cases will ensure that the right people can access the right data at the right time. That could be a data lakehouse to support unstructured data and ensure availability for data science use cases, a modern data warehouse to support reporting and analytics or management for real time streaming from IoT devices.
Microsoft provide a plethora of options for data management, and understanding which technologies to use for which use cases isn't always obvious.

AI/ML
It’s highly likely that AI is already making an impact on your daily lives, but how can organisations leverage Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to drive competitive advantage? That might be a small step into generative AI with Copilot to increase productivity or a bigger step into building bespoke Machine Learning models and workflows, predicting outcomes aligned to organisational objectives underpinned with existing data management and data engineering.
Inciper are working with multiple clients at various stages of their journey with AI/ML. Some are focusing on quick wins to prove value, whilst others are looking at embedding and the adoption of machine learning workflows and some focusing on building skills to support their journeys.
Microsoft’s technologies aligned to AI/ML can likely provide a solution to your immediate needs, be that the AI/ML capabilities baked into Fabric & Power BI, assistive AI through Copilot and Azure AI Studio or adoption of Machine Learning model building and workflow through Azure AI Services and Azure Machine Learning.
Strategy & Advisory
Underpinning the above considerations should be a robust, forward-looking Data & AI strategy, tailored to suit the current and future needs of your business. That Data & AI strategy should be business and technology focused to ensure stakeholder buy in and adoption, and will naturally focus on three key areas; Data, Technology and People.
