What we do

One governed lakehouse, not ten silos.

Without a unified foundation, models never reach production.

We consolidate fragmented systems into a lakehouse and modern warehouse, from legacy migrations to real-time pipelines, with quality, security and observability built in.

What we build

A production-grade data foundation.

We modernize without rip-and-replace, plugging into the teams and tools you already run and migrating on defensible timelines.

  1. Lakehouse and warehouse architecture

    A Delta Lake and Unity Catalog design that handles batch and streaming in one place, with ACID reliability and elastic scale.

  2. Streaming and batch pipelines

    Reliable ingestion from every source system, with contracts and tests so data lands clean and on time.

  3. Quality and observability

    Monitoring, alerting and freshness checks that catch issues before they reach a dashboard or a model.

  4. Legacy migration and modernization

    Move off aging warehouses and on-prem stacks without stalling the roadmap.

How it is governed

Governance: catalog, lineage, access.

Centralized metadata, fine-grained access and full lineage, to stay compliant across your data and AI estate.

  1. Unity Catalog rollout

    Centralized access, lineage and policy across the estate.

  2. Data contracts

    Enforce schemas so producers and consumers stay in sync.

  3. Lineage from the start

    Missing lineage and access control turn compliance into a fire drill; we build both in from the first pipeline.

Questions

Common questions.

What does a data platform engagement include?

We consolidate fragmented systems into a lakehouse and modern warehouse, from legacy migrations to real-time pipelines, with quality, security and observability built in. The work covers four things: lakehouse and warehouse architecture, streaming and batch pipelines, quality and observability, and legacy migration and modernization.

Does Blue Orange build data platforms on Databricks?

Yes. We build on Claude and Databricks, and on the lakehouse and cloud your risk and security teams already approve. The architecture is a Delta Lake and Unity Catalog design that handles batch and streaming in one place, with ACID reliability and elastic scale.

Do we have to rip and replace our existing data warehouse?

No. We modernize without rip-and-replace, plugging into the teams and tools you already run and migrating on defensible timelines. Legacy migration moves you off aging warehouses and on-prem stacks without stalling the roadmap.

How does Blue Orange handle data governance?

With centralized metadata, fine-grained access and full lineage, to stay compliant across your data and AI estate. That means a Unity Catalog rollout for centralized access, lineage and policy; data contracts that enforce schemas so producers and consumers stay in sync; and lineage built in from the first pipeline, not added after.

Why does AI need a data platform first?

Without a unified foundation, models never reach production. Level 1 includes the governed data platform every later level depends on, which is why the data platform is built in Stage 2, Build, and scoped in Stage 1, Assess. Quality and observability checks catch issues before they reach a dashboard or a model.

What has Blue Orange built on a data platform?

For Berkadia, a commercial real estate lender, we built an automated valuation pipeline across the lending book on Databricks on Azure, a Level 2 (L2) system that made underwriting 40% faster.
