We build the platform your reports depend on.

SQL Server, Fabric, Azure and Databricks work, delivered by people who have kept these systems running in production.

Reference data platform architecture Source systems including SQL Server, SSIS and files flow into an ingest layer, then into a lakehouse, then a semantic model, and finally into Power BI. Azure DevOps runs underneath the whole pipeline.

A platform built to be handed over: versioned, tested, and documented.


Most reporting problems are not reporting problems.

Refreshes that overrun the window, numbers that disagree between two dashboards, a package nobody dares touch since the person who wrote it left. Those are symptoms. The cause usually sits in the model, the pipeline, or the way the platform was stitched together under time pressure.

Bytewave fixes the layer underneath, then makes the reporting boring again.

What we do

One practice across the whole stack. No hand-offs between vendors.

Data platform and warehousing

Dimensional models that hold up as the business changes, query performance work on SQL Server, and warehouses that can be explained to an auditor.

SQL Server T-SQL tuning Star schema Data Vault

Microsoft Fabric and Power BI

Lakehouse and warehouse workloads in Fabric, semantic models with row level security, and reports that refresh on time.

Cloud migration

On premises to Azure, in stages you can stop and resume. Serverless where it saves money, reserved where it does not.

Azure SQL Serverless Landing zones

Lakehouse engineering

Databricks and Snowflake builds, Python transformation layers, and ETL that is tested rather than trusted.

AI and machine learning

Forecasting, classification and document extraction, put next to the data rather than in a notebook on someone's laptop.

Migration without the big bang weekend.

We move one workload at a time, with the old system still running, so there is always a way back. Nothing gets switched off until the replacement has matched it for a full cycle.

Where teams usually start

  • SSRS reports on a server nobody wants to patch
  • SSIS packages with no source control
  • Overnight refresh that quietly misses its window
  • Reports reading straight from production tables
  • Month end reconciled by hand in Excel

Where you end up

  • Paginated and interactive Power BI, side by side
  • Pipelines in Git, deployed by Azure DevOps
  • Incremental refresh with alerting on failure
  • A governed semantic model with row level security
  • Reconciliation running as an automated test

How an engagement runs

Short and specific to begin with. You should know whether we are worth keeping before you have spent much.

Start a conversation

Assess

Two weeks in your environment. We read the packages, profile the data, time the refreshes, and come back with what is actually wrong and what it will cost to fix.

Prove

One real workload, end to end, in the target architecture. Not a slide, not a demo dataset. Your data, your numbers, reconciled against the current system.

Build

The rest of the platform in increments, each one deployed through the same pipeline, each one reviewed with your team rather than presented to them.

Hand over

Documentation your team can follow, a runbook for the things that break at 2am, and enough pairing that nobody is left holding a system they do not understand.

Tell us what is not working.

A slow refresh, a migration that stalled, a report nobody trusts. Describe it in a paragraph and you will get an honest answer about whether we can help.
