Data Services

The data practice behind the software practice.

For 4+ years, Affari's core work has been data warehouses and front-end BI dashboards in Qlik and Power BI. That practice continues as one engagement continuum — visualize what you have, architect what's underneath, govern what you trust, and migrate what's next. Start anywhere; the disciplines connect.

01 — Data Visualization

Dashboards that drive decisions, not just display data.

Interactive, decision-ready reporting in Qlik and Power BI — built so the right people see not just what's happening, but why it matters and what to do next.

Interactive dashboards

Dynamic KPI tracking for leadership, operational reporting for teams, and drill-down from trend to transaction.

Automated reporting

Scheduled, consistent reporting that ends manual data compilation and spreadsheet drift.

Data storytelling

Custom visualizations tailored to how your teams actually think and work.

Source connectivity

Live connections across CRMs, ERPs, and cloud databases — one picture from many systems.

02 — Data Architecture & Integration

The structure underneath, built to scale.

Architecture isn't where data lives — it's how well it works when it matters. We design connected frameworks that support performance today and adapt for what's next.

Architecture design

Cloud-native, on-premises, or hybrid — structured for your business today with room to grow.

System integration

ERP, CRM, cloud, and third-party tools connected into a single reliable source of truth.

Data modeling

Logical and physical models, purpose-built data marts, and semantic layers that make reporting fast and simple.

Pipeline automation

ETL/ELT design with monitoring and alerting — repeatable flows from ingestion to insight.

03 — Data Governance

Guardrails that don't slow anyone down.

Governance is clarity and confidence in how data is used — lightweight structures that keep reporting aligned, users empowered, and data trusted across Qlik and Power BI.

Stewardship & ownership

Clear, role-based accountability — who owns what, and what that ownership means in practice.

Access & policy

Tiered, audit-ready permissioning aligned with regulatory and internal standards.

Quality & validation

Validation rules, anomaly monitoring, and remediation workflows tied to root causes.

Metadata & lineage

Source-to-report traceability for audit, debugging, and trust in every number.

04 — Data Migration

Moving is a chance to improve.

We treat migration as an opportunity — not just relocating data, but restructuring it for better reporting and stronger decisions on the other side. Field-level mapping to system cutover, with history intact.

Mapping & validation

Documented logic for every data movement, with built-in validation for accuracy and consistency.

Any environment

Qlik, Power BI, SQL Server, Snowflake, and more — phased transitions or full cutovers, downtime minimized.

Cleanup & optimization

Schema redesign, de-duplication, archiving, and standardization while the data is in motion.

Ongoing sync

Automated ETL/ELT pipelines with alerting, for teams that move data on a schedule.
