Helping make Microsoft’s nonprofit data warehouse “Quickstart” real

Helping make Microsoft’s nonprofit data warehouse “Quickstart” real

To support Microsoft Tech for Social Impact team’s introduction of the Nonprofit Data Warehouse Quickstart, Neal Analytics created a set of nonprofit focused offerings as a part of its Data Estate Modernization portfolio. These offerings are designed to be used in conjunction with a Common Data Model implementation, such as the script-to-deploy Nonprofit Data Warehouse Quickstart that Microsoft announced.

This Quickstart allows for Power BI-generated analytics and a templatized data warehouse accelerator. Neal’s specialized skillset allows for extensions of this template to adapt to any nonprofit’s scope.

In addition to its unique repository of pre-created connectors, Neal can create additional connectors that allow for easy extension into new scenarios.

With the help of Neal experts to handle the complex technical aspects, nonprofit organizations can deploy the Quickstart to ensure long-term success.

Here are a few examples of Power BI templates that come with the Quickstart:

With the Quickstart, you also get an auto-deployed data warehouse codebase, based on this GitHub repository & this CDM Version.

To pair with this offering & offer acceleration to any customers interested in Data Warehousing & modernization, Neal has created a series of offerings.

Managed deployment assistance

This offering entails a month of services conducted by Neal’s offshore team to assist with configuration, set-up, and implementation of the Quickstart with a 2.5 offshore resource team and a 1-month timeline.
