THE CLIENT

A leading consulting agency has assisted US health systems with self-service analytics by integrating data from multiple sources in real-time. The agency's solutions have helped large providers maximize data value, saving clients millions, empowering leaders, and building data trust.

THE CHALLENGE

A leading technology consulting agency, who specializes in providing data solutions for healthcare organizations, faced a critical need to upskill its staff on Microsoft Fabric. This urgency stemmed from a growing trend of healthcare providers migrating to Fabric environments, significantly accelerated by its integration with Epic.

A preliminary workshop revealed specific pain points in their clients' current data processes. As a result, Dura Digital was tasked with equipping the clients staff with the Fabric expertise needed to guide their clients, address technology gaps related to the platform, and effectively leverage its capabilities.

THE SOLUTION

To address the client's need for Microsoft Fabric expertise, Dura Digital developed and delivered a comprehensive, tailored training program. The solution centered around a custom-built curriculum designed to equip their consultants with the skills to effectively leverage Fabric for healthcare data solutions.

The curriculum's design was a collaborative process that involved initiating a preliminary workshop with key stakeholders to pinpoint existing knowledge gaps, understand specific pain points in current processes, and define clear learning outcomes. This direct client feedback was influential in tailoring the curriculum, ensuring its immediate relevance.

Dura Digital developed a structured training program with dedicated sessions covering foundational Fabric topics. To ensure the highest degree of accuracy and alignment with the platform's evolving capabilities, we meticulously reviewed technical Microsoft documentation and incorporated the latest features and official guidance into the training content.

The resulting program provided in-depth knowledge on:
→ Core Fabric components
→ Data engineering practices
→ Building and managing data Lakehouse architectures
→ Developing robust data pipelines
→ Implementing effective data governance and quality frameworks.

Emphasis was placed on practical application, including strategies for integrating Fabric’s internal healthcare industry solution and handling specific data formats.

This multi-faceted approach ensured the training was not only technically sound and comprehensive but also highly relevant to the client's specific operational context and the unique nuances of managing and analyzing healthcare data. The goal was to empower their team to confidently guide clients through Fabric adoption and maximize its value.

THE RESULTS

Fabric training provided by Dura Digital has helped position this organization to proactively address their clients’ needs within an evolving technology landscape.

Participants expressed an appreciation for the well-thought-out and prepared training content, stating they enjoyed learning more about the Microsoft Fabric platform.

The sessions successfully provided a foundational understanding of Fabric's robust and comprehensive capabilities as an end-to-end data solution. This included an awareness of Fabric’s unique industry solutions and features currently in preview, equipping the team with increased insight to begin exploring its application to healthcare data challenges.

Consequently, the team is now better enabled to deliver impactful solutions that maximize data value for their clients by leveraging the power of Fabric.

As organizations increasingly leverage Microsoft Fabric for their data needs, Dura Digital offers tailored solutions and expert guidance to help them unlock its full potential.
