Nidsons — Data, Cloud and AI consulting
Data engineering & ETL

From scattered sources to a single source of truth.

We design and build the ETL and ELT pipelines that pull data from every system you run — databases, SaaS apps, files, and APIs — and land it in one governed, centralized data warehouse your whole business can query with confidence. Senior data engineers, Microsoft-aligned, proven in production.

Why it matters

Most enterprises don't lack data — they lack one place they can trust.

Data spread across ERPs, CRMs, spreadsheets, and SaaS tools forces teams to reconcile numbers by hand — and erodes confidence in every report. We fix that at the foundation: robust data integration and ETL/ELT pipelines that consolidate every source into a governed, centralized data warehouse.

The result is a modeled, documented platform your analysts and executives can self-serve — with SQL, Power BI, or whatever they prefer — knowing the figures reconcile to a single source of truth.

How the pipeline works

Four stages, from raw source to trusted report.

01

Connect every source

One integration layer for databases, SaaS apps, files, and APIs — no more manual exports.

FAQ

Data engineering, answered plainly.

What is the difference between ETL and ELT, and which do you use?

ETL transforms data before loading it into the warehouse; ELT loads raw data first and transforms it inside a cloud warehouse that can scale compute on demand. We use whichever fits your platform and workload — typically ELT on Microsoft Fabric, BigQuery, Snowflake, or Databricks, and ETL where governance or source constraints call for it.

Which source systems can you integrate?

Databases (SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL), SaaS apps (Salesforce, SAP, Dynamics, HubSpot), files (Excel, CSV, Parquet), and REST/GraphQL APIs. If it holds data your business runs on, we can pipe it into one governed warehouse.

How do you keep the data trustworthy?

Every pipeline is version-controlled, monitored, and tested. We add data-quality checks, lineage, and a modeled semantic layer so the numbers in your reports reconcile to a single source of truth — and you can see exactly where each figure came from.

Do we have to move to a specific warehouse?

No. We are platform-flexible and build to your destination of choice — Microsoft Fabric & OneLake, Azure Synapse, Google BigQuery, Snowflake, or Databricks — optimizing for cost, governance, and the tools your team already uses.
