Discover, analyse, and plan the unification of your data landscape into a secure, well‑governed Azure platform. Ready for analytics and AI.
Most organisations have valuable data locked in silos, inconsistent governance, and a patchwork of tooling that slows delivery and raises risk. Rapid Circle’s Data Estate Assessment gives you a holistic, evidence‑based view of where your data lives today, how it’s governed, and what it takes to establish a modern Azure data platform. Complete with a prioritised roadmap that balances speed, security, cost, and compliance.
Why a Data Estate Assessment?
Data isn’t just a technical asset, it’s the engine of transformation, innovation, and competitive advantage. Yet, many organisations struggle with fragmented data sources, inconsistent governance, and limited visibility, making it hard to unlock the true value of their information. The Data Estate Assessment is designed to break down these barriers, providing a holistic, structured analysis of your current data landscape (“AS-IS”), surfacing risks and opportunities, and delivering a tailored action plan for a secure, governed, and AI-ready Azure data platform. By connecting your data strategy to business outcomes, it empowers your organisation to accelerate innovation, drive smarter decisions, and confidently embrace the future. This is not just about technology—it’s about enabling your people, processes, and platforms to thrive in a data-driven world.
