Frequently Asked Questions
Premier Group designs and configures scalable data architectures across Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS), Databricks, and Snowflake.
A database stores structured, processed data for daily transactional use, whereas a data lake stores massive volumes of raw, semi-structured, and unstructured data for big data analytics.
Custom APIs automate data exchange between incompatible systems—such as ERPs, CRMs, and finance software—eliminating manual re-entry and latency.
Generative AI needs cleansed, unified data to retrieve accurate contextual information and avoid generating hallucinations or leaking miscategorised files.
