Data Maturity Assessment and Strategy

Our team will assess your governance, architecture, processes, and skills using a structured assessment framework. You will receive clear, actionable recommendations aligned to Microsoft’s data and analytics guidance, outlining how your organisation can strengthen its data capabilities, close gaps, reduce risk, and establish a future‑ready data estate. This ensures your strategy remains aligned with Microsoft Azure and the wider Microsoft ecosystem, enabling you to maximise value across your platforms, tools, and services as your organisation grows.

The Data Maturity Assessment and Strategy engagement is delivered over 10 days, starting at £12,000. Advania UK has access to Microsoft-funded opportunities - contact us to check your eligibility.
