Data-Driven has achieved the Advanced Specialization in Analytics on Microsoft Azure, one of only two Australian consultancies to do so. 

With the Microsoft Azure Advanced Specialization, Data-Driven now joins a select group of at least 35 global enterprises with this capability. 

“Being one of the few Microsoft Partners who has achieved the Advanced Specialization in Analytics on Azure, gives our customers confidence that we have the people, processes, and tools required to deliver advanced analytics that allows them to extract more value out of their data and meet their business needs,” Data-Driven’s Managing Director Rodney Joyce said. 

Achieving the Microsoft Advanced Specialisation validates Data-Driven’s capability to deliver end-to-end specialized data and analytics services by demonstrating the company’s approach in deploying cloud platforms according to Microsoft’s best practices and the highest technical standards.

As part of the Microsoft Advance Specialization group, Data-Driven has proven that they: 

• have an excellent understanding of CAF and WAF Microsoft frameworks 
• follow a standardized methodology that helps ensure smooth cloud transition 
• have a prescriptive approach to Data and Analytics that allows customers to do discovery, design, and deployment of modern data platforms and analytics projects rapidly in Azure 
• have extensive expertise and experience in the deployment of cloud adoption best practices 
• are experts in the implementation of the Azure Modern Data Platform, Azure Synapse DW, Databricks, Azure Data Factory, Machine Learning and other advanced analytics tools 

The company has demonstrated key delivery methodologies, processes, and procedures across multiple customers and industries in deploying custom advanced analytics workloads from concept to production.

Aside from this, Data-Driven also has several proven solutions available on the Microsoft marketplace, such as Azure Infrastructure Review and Data Platform Implementation. 

The company developed a cloud cost optimization and governance tool called CloudMonitor, a self-service platform that helps IT Ops teams identify governance gaps, security loopholes and helps monitor and optimize cloud consumption costs with real-time Power BI dashboards and cost-saving recommendations. 

As an Azure Advanced Specialization consulting company, Data-Driven has demonstrated deep knowledge, extensive experience, and a proven track record in planning, designing, developing, and deploying Azure cloud analytics projects from mid-size to enterprise customers. 

The company’s consultants aim to empower customers to confidently use scalable, fit-for-purpose Azure cloud analytics services, meeting their ever-increasing and dynamic business requirements, ensuring they can leverage their entire data estate by building transformative, secure analytical solutions at an enterprise scale. 

“We are delighted and very proud to provide our customers with the best cloud experience to achieve their business objectives, we can do this with confidence knowing we have passed a rigorous audit process and obtained the Microsoft Advanced Specialization,” Data-Driven’s Head of Data and Analytics Deon Jacobs said. 

The Microsoft Azure Advanced Specialization validates the capability of Microsoft partners to deliver best-in-class specialized services to customers in complex analytical solution areas with Azure.

To obtain the Advanced Specialization certification, the company’s requirements should be verified by Microsoft and a third party during a comprehensive audit.
