AnalyticsCreator helps Microsoft data teams turn governed design into deployable data solutions without introducing a proprietary runtime layer. Teams use AnalyticsCreator to define warehouse structures, transformation logic, historisation rules, relationships and dependencies in a central model. From that model, the application can generate native implementation assets for technologies such as SQL Server, SSIS, Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Fabric and Power BI. The approach is designed for organisations that want to standardise how data warehouses and data products are engineered while keeping full control of the resulting code and project artefacts. Generated outputs can be integrated into existing Git, Azure DevOps and CI/CD workflows for versioning, review and controlled deployment across environments. AnalyticsCreator supports dimensional, 3NF and hybrid modelling as well as common engineering patterns including delta loading, Slowly Changing Dimensions, snapshots and historisation. Documentation, lineage and dependency information are maintained alongside the project design, making it easier to assess the impact of proposed changes and keep implementation aligned with the underlying model. The AnalyticsCreator Governed Control Model provides the foundation for this process by keeping business meaning, technical structures and implementation logic connected. Design Intelligence builds on that context by making governed project metadata, lineage, dependencies and design rules available to authorised AI tools and agents. Typical use cases include modernising SQL Server and SSIS estates, building Microsoft Fabric solutions, standardising Power BI delivery and creating repeatable data warehouse and data product engineering processes.

StackAI is an enterprise AI automation platform built to help organizations create end-to-end internal tools and processes with AI agents. Unlike point solutions or one-off chatbots, StackAI provides a single platform where enterprises can design, deploy, and govern AI workflows in a secure, compliant, and fully controlled environment. Using its visual workflow builder, teams can map entire processes — from data intake and enrichment to decision-making, reporting, and audit trails. Enterprise knowledge bases such as SharePoint, Confluence, Notion, Google Drive, and internal databases can be connected directly, with features for version control, citations, and permissioning to keep information reliable and protected. AI agents can be deployed in multiple ways: as a chat assistant embedded in daily workflows, an advanced form for structured document-heavy tasks, or an API endpoint connected into existing tools. StackAI integrates natively with Slack, Teams, Salesforce, HubSpot, ServiceNow, Airtable, and more. Security and compliance are embedded at every layer. The platform supports SSO (Okta, Azure AD, Google), role-based access control, audit logs, data residency, and PII masking. Enterprises can monitor usage, apply cost controls, and test workflows with guardrails and evaluations before production. StackAI also offers flexible model routing, enabling teams to choose between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or local LLMs, with advanced settings to fine-tune parameters and ensure consistent, accurate outputs. A growing template library speeds deployment with pre-built solutions for Contract Analysis, Support Desk Automation, RFP Response, Investment Memo Generation, and InfoSec Questionnaires. By replacing fragmented processes with secure, AI-driven workflows, StackAI helps enterprises cut manual work, accelerate decision-making, and empower non-technical teams to build automation that scales across the organization.

SaaSify is an agentic Cloud GTM platform built to replace the three separate listing processes, offer workflows, and funding paperwork that AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Marketplace usually demand. AI agents handle the repetitive work - drafting and filing listings in roughly 90 minutes, sending private offers straight from Salesforce or HubSpot, and locating and filing co-sell opportunities to partner portals as they appear. What sets SaaSify apart is pairing that automation with hyperscaler experts who stay involved long after go-live, managing FTR approvals, certification renewals, and quarterly program changes across all three clouds. Cloud funding requests move through the same automated system, so committed dollars get claimed instead of lapsing unused. Sales, usage, billing, and payouts for every cloud roll up into one dashboard. SaaSify supports 500+ ISVs, more than $5B in managed marketplace revenue, and a 4.9 out of 5 rating on G2.
