Deliverable 1: Design, Develop, and Maintain Relational, Cloud-Based, Power BI, and AI/ Machine Learning-Specific Data Models.
The consultant will design, develop, and maintain data models tailored to meet the organization's needs. This includes creating relational data models to support traditional reporting and analytics, as well as cloud-based data models leveraging modern architectures to enable scalability, performance, and efficient data processing. The consultant will also optimize Power BI data models to ensure fast, reliable, and user-friendly reporting and visualization. Additionally, the consultant will develop AI/Machine Learning-specific data models to support advanced analytics workflows, including feature engineering, data preparation, and integration with AI/ML tools. These models will be designed to align with the organization's business objectives, ensuring data accuracy, consistency, and usability across all platforms.
The consultant will also be responsible for publishing data models to the appropriate platforms, ensuring they are accessible, secure, and optimized for use by stakeholders. This includes publishing models to cloud environments, Power BI, and other relevant systems as required. Comprehensive documentation will accompany all data models, detailing their structure, purpose, and usage. The documentation will include data dictionaries, entity- relationship diagrams, and step-by-step instructions for maintaining and updating the models. This ensures that the models are transparent, easy to understand, and can be effectively utilized by both technical and non-technical users.
The consultant will provide support for the date modeling product upgrade as required and work on updating the date modeling documentation to keep the procedures current.
Deliverable 2: Knowledge Transfer
The consultant will conduct regular training sessions tailored to the skill levels of our team members. These sessions will focus on:
Key concepts and tools related to cloud-based data modeling, Power BI, and AI/ML.
Q&A sessions to address specific challenges or questions from the team.
Training will be designed to build confidence and competence, enabling team members to take ownership of the systems and processes.
The consultant will also work closely with our existing team members throughout the engagement, fostering a collaborative environment where knowledge sharing is a core focus. This hands-on approach ensures that team members are actively involved in the design, development, and maintenance of the data models, rather than being passive observers. By embedding team members in the process, they will gain practical, real-world experience under the guidance of the consultant.
