Know exactly where your pipelines stand

The Data Pipeline Health Check is a focused, fixed-scope review of your pipelines, reporting workflows, and failure points — ending in a prioritized roadmap you can act on immediately, with us or without us.

Who it's for

Teams that depend on pipelines nobody fully trusts

Reports that fail quietly — or arrive late
Pipelines only one person understands
An environment inherited after turnover
Modernization plans that need an honest baseline first
Problems it solves

What the Health Check gets to the bottom of

PROBLEM

"We don't know why it broke."

Jobs fail and the first sign is a stakeholder asking where their numbers are. We find the failure points and the monitoring gaps that hide them.

PROBLEM

"It works, but it's slow — and getting slower."

Loads that used to take minutes now take hours. We assess the SQL and job design to show exactly where the time is going.

PROBLEM

"It all lives in one person's head."

Nothing is written down, so every change is a gamble. We map what exists and document the gaps that put you at risk.

What's included

A complete picture, not a sales pitch

ETL pipeline and job review

A hands-on walkthrough of your pipelines and scheduled jobs — what runs, what depends on what, and where the fragile links are.

SQL and performance assessment

A review of the queries and load patterns doing the heavy lifting, with the slowdowns and risks called out plainly.

Monitoring and error-handling review

How failures surface today — and where they don't. We identify the gaps between "something broke" and "someone knew."

Documentation-gap analysis

What's written down, what isn't, and which undocumented knowledge would hurt most to lose.

Prioritized recommendations and roadmap

A written, plain-language report ordered by business impact — quick wins first, larger investments clearly scoped.

How it works

From kickoff to roadmap

STEP 01

Kickoff

We align on goals, set up read-only access, and identify the pipelines and reports that matter most.

STEP 02

Review

We work through your environment hands-on — pipelines, SQL, monitoring, and documentation.

STEP 03

Report

You receive a written assessment with prioritized recommendations and a roadmap you can execute.

STEP 04

Debrief

We walk your team through the findings, answer questions, and make sure the next steps are clear.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does a Health Check take?

It depends on the size of your environment, but a Health Check is measured in weeks, not months. We confirm the exact timeline during scoping, before you commit.

What access do you need?

Read-only access to the systems under review is typically enough. We work within your security requirements and document exactly what access was granted and why.

What do we actually get at the end?

A written report in plain language: what we reviewed, what we found, and a prioritized roadmap ordered by business impact — plus a live debrief with your team.

Is this just a setup to sell us a bigger project?

No. The roadmap is written so you can execute it with your own team, another vendor, or us. Some clients continue into a project or support plan; many take the roadmap and run with it. Both outcomes are fine with us.

What technologies can you review?

SQL Server, SSIS, Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Python, and Excel-based processes — including the hybrid environments where several of those coexist.
