FEATURES
Instantly Operationalize Your Data Workloads
Best Practice Engineering Guiderails with MS Excel Add-in
The elemental frameworks include a Microsoft Excel Add-in to support elegant, layered and patterned architecture of your data workloads on Azure. This enables rapid development of enterprise class solutions that scale.
​
The Add-in provides tools and techniques to configure workloads directly in Excel sheets, and one-click deployments to the elemental metadata store.
Additional utilities automate repetitive tasks associated with modeling, mapping, documentation and Power BI report building.
Excel Add-in menu offering many best-practice utilities, including one-click updating of metadata to database.
Parameterization & Metadata Repository
By leveraging parameterized workload resources, such as Azure Databricks or Synapse notebooks, or Azure Data Factory pipelines, with a metadata configuration repository, teams can rapidly configure and iterate workloads using our Excel Add-in. This approach decreases build and maintenance times significantly.
​
Workload configurations happen at the speed of Excel and one-click deployments to the metadata repository.

Recurring Schedules in Logic Apps & Ad-hoc Executions in Power BI
By employing Microsoft's Logic App scheduling best practices and utilizing an integrated Power BI 'Trigger Schedule' report, the elemental frameworks provide two secure mechanisms for running workloads. This approach eliminates the need for Contributor level access to underlying Azure resources, such as Data Factory, Databricks, or Synapse workspaces.

Intelligent Restarts-on-Failure Reduce Operational Delays
The elemental framework's built-in restart capabilities enable teams to configure workloads to bypass previously completed steps in the event of an error and restart scenario.
Coupled with real-time reporting and notifications, this feature significantly reduces operational delays caused by unforeseen errors.

Real-Time Reports Improve Administrative Tasks
Our suite of elemental real-time reports enables developers and administrators to monitor the progress of executing workloads.
​
Process detail pages provide deep insights into execution contexts, return values, and error messages.

Alerts & Notifications
Stay productive knowing the elemental framework will send notifications of key workload events, including completion, success and failure.
Configurable Logic Apps allow for extremely sophisticated, customized, event-driven workloads post-execution.

BENEFITS
Secure Azure Cloud-Native Workloads Productionized at Scale
Secure
Achieve compliance even with the strictest data and application governance requirements.
The elemental frameworks host administrative tasks, tools, and utilities within secure, cloud-native containers in Azure. This architecture eliminates the requirement for Contributor-level access to Azure design studios and workspaces for administration and executions.
As a result, enterprise teams can securely administer and configure analytics, ELT, ML & AI, or other data workloads without Contributor access rights to underlying Azure resources.
​
In addition, built-in best practices solution patterns ensure proper architectural patterns, including the utilization of Azure Key Vaults, Entra ID principals, and governed access control to all layers in the framework.
Scalable
Benefit from everything the elemental frameworks offer at scale.
Experience virtually no performance, delivery time or administrative KPI degradation as teams grow from single-digit workloads to 1000's of managed and orchestrated activities.
Native & Open Architecture
Enjoy the ease of a framework built 100% cloud-native in Azure.
​​
No proprietary/black-boxes. No vendor-capture. Extremely short learning-curve for Azure experienced teams.
Agile
Remove bottlenecks and enjoy extremely rapid delivery times.
​
Parametrizing activities reduces the complexity and time associated with creating, maintaining and enhancing workloads. For example, one dataflow pipeline per source (e.g. SalesForce) can be reused for all source object (tables, parquet files, etc.) activities, as opposed to one per object.
This results in ELTs with single-digit pipeline counts versus dozens or even hundreds of dedicated pipelines, or single entry-points for multiple notebook executions in Azure Databricks or Synapse.
Robust Enterprise-Grade Workloads
Meet tight SLAs and manage complex workloads with ease.
Abstracting workload execution away from the Azure interface enables increased security and governance of native resources. Additionally, workloads can be executed on a scheduled or ad-hoc basis.
​
Combined with cloud-native architecture in Azure, workloads built on elemental frameworks have proven to scale out for the most demanding enterprise conditions.
