Ardene

Full Centric Planning Implementation

Owned end-to-end — from the integration spec through schema architecture, pipeline build, and go-live validation.

How This One Was Run

Spec to go-live, one full Centric Planning rollout.

Ardene needed a full Centric Planning implementation. That meant owning every layer — the integration spec, the connections between source systems and the platform, the schema across staging, data warehouse, and master data, the ADF pipelines, the stored procedures, and the validation all the way through go-live.

01

Discover & Spec

Defined the full integration spec — what data was needed, what format it had to arrive in, what the mandatory fields were, and how it would map across each layer.

02

Architect

Designed the schema across all three layers — staging, data warehouse, and master data — and planned the migration of the pipeline layer onto Microsoft Fabric Warehouse.

03

Build & Migrate

Built the ADF pipelines, wrote the stored procedures, set up the system connections between source and target, handled the Fabric migration, and secured credentials through Azure Key Vault.

04

Validate & Go-Live

Validated data consistency across all layers, produced reporting for the business team, and supported the cutover through go-live.

The Result

A system the client team runs without needing to call anyone.

A full Centric Planning data layer live in production — spec to go-live, every connection and every layer owned end-to-end.
