What we build

One team, the full analytics stack.

We don't hand off between data engineers, BI developers, and AI teams — the same Aberdeen team takes your data from source systems to the boardroom.

Fabric Data Engineering

Lakehouse architecture, pipelines and dataflows that unify Jira, ADO, Smartsheet, ServiceNow, finance, HR and line-of-business systems into one governed model.

Certified Semantic Models

Power BI semantic layers with certified KPIs, portfolio health logic and executive measures — one version of the truth, reused by every report.

Executive Dashboards

Power BI and custom HTML dashboards engineered for the C-suite — from agile delivery command centers to onboarding and compliance cockpits.

Document Intelligence

RAG layers that index charters, status reports, meeting notes and lessons learned — so answers cite the documents behind the numbers.

AI Agents & Automation

Ask-your-portfolio agents, notebook-driven ML models, and PowerPoint report generators — insight delivered to Teams and email, not just a portal.

Microsoft 365 Governance

Security and permissions inherited from Microsoft 365 — SharePoint project sites, document libraries, and role-based access from day one.
