The Hidden-Silo Problem

Weave every system into a single, living tapestry—so answers appear the moment you ask.

Picture Sarah in Finance. Her monthly close starts with five exports: SAP for payables, Salesforce for billings, a legacy SQL box for inventory, and two cloud apps the marketing team adopted on their own. She drags them into one spreadsheet, prays the VLOOKUPs hold, then emails a “best-guess” P&L that’s outdated before it lands.

Meanwhile, the COO is still waiting on yesterday’s order-to-cash report, Ops can’t see inventory in real time, and IT braces for the next urgent “Can you just pull this data?” ticket.

Why It Hurts

Slow decisions – Leadership stalls while numbers are stitched together by hand.

Duplicate truth – Each team trusts its own copy, fueling finger-pointing when figures clash.

Integration hairballs – Every new app spawns yet another brittle one-off connector.

Innovation drag – Fresh ideas die on the whiteboard because the data plumbing feels impossible.


Imagine One Fabric

You open a dashboard. Revenue, inventory, customer churn—all live, all synced. A new metric idea? Expose it as an API endpoint with two clicks and drop it straight into a workflow or camera-ready slide deck.

No CSV exports. No late-night lookups. Just answers.

How We Make It Happen

Source & Story Workshop
A half-day session maps the systems you rely on—and the stories the data needs to tell. We rank the high-value objects: Order, Customer, Invoice, Part. Clear targets, no geek-speak.

Virtualize & Stitch
Instead of ripping data out and relocating it, we lay a smart “fabric” on top. Think of it as a universal translator: SAP speaks “Order,” the cloud app speaks “Transaction,” the fabric hears both and returns one clean “Sale” to whoever asks.

Expose & Secure
Need Sales margin by product line? It’s now an API you can hit from Power BI, Slack, or a weekend hackathon project. Role-based access, audit trails, and SSO are baked in from minute one—so Finance doesn’t panic and Compliance nods along happily.

Optimize & Govern
Dashboards watch query speed, data freshness, and user demand. Hotspots get auto-indexed, cold tables cool off in cheaper storage. The fabric self-tunes while you sleep.

Cross-Department Wins in the First Quarter

Finance closes the books three days sooner—late fees vanish.

Sales spots low-stock SKUs before promising next-day delivery—refund headaches disappear.

Marketing launches a cross-sell campaign fueled by live usage data—upsells jump 15 %.

Ops tracks order-to-ship in real time—customer “Where’s my stuff?” calls drop by half.

The 30-Day Quick-Start

Week 1 – Map & Mock-Up
We connect three priority systems and build a pop-up dashboard that streams live data—no polish, pure proof.

Week 2 – Pilot Fabric
Key users hammer the fabric with real questions. We tighten joins, refine naming, kill duplicates.

Week 3 – API Rollout
The first five endpoints go live—margin, inventory level, renewal risk, you name it. Slackbot and Power BI start pulling directly.

Week 4 – Go-Live & Go-Big
Wider access, training huddles, backlog of “Can I get this report?” tickets melts. The spreadsheet monsters shrivel.

Why You’ll Love It

Zero rip-and-replace – Your existing systems keep humming; we simply teach them to talk.

Instant insight – Live joins kill manual exports and stale reports.

Future-proof – New apps plug into the mesh, not the mess; old ones retire on your schedule.

Cost clarity – No surprise overages; fabric usage shows up in one neat meter.

Human-friendly – Plain-language object names (“Customer”, “Order”), not cryptic table codes.
