Azure data platform & analytics
North Peak Cloud builds the Azure data platform that turns scattered data into governed, AI-ready insight. Whether on Microsoft Fabric, Synapse, Databricks or Power BI, we design the ingestion, storage, modelling and governance that make analytics trustworthy — and lay the foundation your AI workloads depend on, because good AI starts with good data. You get a platform that reports reliably today and feeds generative AI tomorrow.
- Microsoft Fabric, Synapse and Databricks
- Data ingestion, lakehouse and modelling
- Power BI reporting and semantic models
- Governance, lineage and access control
- An AI-ready data foundation
AI on Azure, done right.
AI-ready foundations
Azure AI Foundry hubs and projects, private networking to your models, identity and policy guardrails — the secure base every AI workload needs before it scales.
Cost control for AI & cloud
FinOps for the AI era: token and PTU strategy, model right-sizing, reservations and anomaly detection. We find the waste your invoice is hiding.
Platform engineering
Landing zones as code in Bicep or Terraform, GitOps, policy-as-code and golden paths. Enterprise-grade Azure delivered in weeks, not quarters.
Security & responsible AI
Content filtering, evaluations, data-residency and audit-ready guardrails aligned to the EU AI Act and ISO 42001 — trustworthy AI you can put in front of customers.
Migration & modernisation
Cloud Adoption Framework migrations and Well-Architected reviews that leave you cheaper, faster and ready for AI — not just lifted-and-shifted.

Asked and answered.
Microsoft Fabric or Synapse — which should I use?+
Microsoft Fabric is the newer, unified SaaS analytics platform bringing data engineering, warehousing and Power BI together; Synapse remains strong for established estates. North Peak Cloud helps you choose based on your data, skills and roadmap rather than defaulting to the newest option.
Why does a data platform matter for AI?+
Generative AI is only as good as the data it can retrieve. A governed data platform — clean, well-modelled, access-controlled — is what makes retrieval-augmented generation accurate and safe. Good AI starts with good data.
