Your Data Is Already There.
It Just Needs to Connect.
MDI builds enterprise data integration services on Microsoft Fabric — connecting SAP, ERP, IoT, cloud, and on-premise systems into a single governed platform. Real-time pipelines. No batch lag. No brittle ETL maintenance tax.

One governed platform — always live
Real-Time Data Integration
The Problem
Your operational data — sensor readings, production counts, despatch confirmations — lands in the lakehouse hours after the event. By the time a dashboard refreshes, the shift manager has already made the decision on gut feel. The data that should have driven the decision is still sitting in a batch queue.
What We Build
We implement Fabric Eventstream and Azure Event Hubs to capture operational data as it happens — sub-second latency from IoT sensor, SCADA, MES, or any streaming source into OneLake. No batch window. No scheduled refresh. The platform is always current.
Data latency from production floor to dashboard
Continuous integration — no nightly batch windows
Exception alerts automated, zero manual triage
SAP & ERP Data Integration
The Problem
SAP sits at the centre of your business — purchasing, production orders, financial postings, stock movements. But getting that data into your analytics layer cleanly is where most integrations fail. OData feeds timeout. BAPIs need custom ABAP. Direct database connections violate SAP licensing. The result is a reporting environment that's perpetually three steps behind the ERP.
What We Build
MDI has production SAP integration experience across SAP Business ByDesign, SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC, and Oracle ERP. We connect using certified OData V4 APIs, Fabric Mirroring, or Azure Data Factory SAP connectors — whichever fits your licensing model and data volume without custom ABAP.

Data Pipeline Migration to Fabric
The Problem
Azure Data Factory pipelines that made sense in 2020 are now a maintenance tax. Every schema change breaks three downstream jobs. SSIS packages run on a server nobody has touched in four years. Informatica licences are renewing at a cost that no longer makes sense. The data engineering team spends more time fixing pipelines than building new capability.
What We Build
We audit your existing ADF, SSIS, or Informatica estate, classify each pipeline by complexity and criticality, and migrate to Fabric Dataflows Gen2 and Mirroring. The result is fewer moving parts, no separate orchestration layer, and integration logic that lives inside the same governed workspace as your analytics.
Reduction in pipeline maintenance overhead post-migration
Separate orchestration servers to maintain
Workspace for all integration logic — not scattered across services

Data Integration FAQs
How long does a typical data integration project take?
A focused single-source integration (e.g. SAP ByDesign into Fabric) typically takes 4–8 weeks from kick-off to production. A full enterprise integration across 5–10 source systems with a medallion architecture build is a 3–4 month engagement. We give a firm timeline after a 1-hour discovery call where we scope the source systems and data volumes.
Do we need to replace our existing Azure services to work with you?
No. We work with what you have. If ADF pipelines are running and working, we leave them running. We build on top of or alongside your current estate, and migrate selectively where the business case for Fabric Mirroring is clear. We don't rip and replace — we improve incrementally.
Can you integrate with on-premise systems?
Yes. We use the On-Premises Data Gateway for ADF and Fabric connections to on-premise SQL Server, Oracle, and file shares. For plant-floor OT systems (SCADA, PLC, MES), we use Azure IoT Hub or Event Hubs with edge agents where needed.
What is your approach to data governance during integration?
Every integration we build follows a medallion pattern — raw data in bronze, validated and conformed data in silver, business-ready aggregates in gold. Access controls, sensitivity labels, and lineage tracking are configured from day one, not retrofitted later. Microsoft Purview is configured as part of the workspace setup.
Do you support ongoing maintenance after go-live?
Yes. We offer a retainer model for pipeline monitoring, incident response, schema change management, and new source onboarding. Most clients start with a 3-month post-go-live support agreement and convert to an ongoing retainer once they see what proactive management looks like.
