Days, not years
Building a reliable lakehouse in-house takes one to three years and needs data engineers who are hard to hire and keep. SchemaVortex is delivered ready to run, and your existing BI team operates it.
Self-managing data lakehouse
SchemaVortex turns the data in your ERP, CRM and line-of-business systems into a governed lakehouse, with as much history as you choose to keep. It runs inside your own Azure subscription, on open Parquet and standard SQL. There are no pipelines to develop and no data-engineering team to hire.
The difference
Building a reliable lakehouse in-house takes one to three years and needs data engineers who are hard to hire and keep. SchemaVortex is delivered ready to run, and your existing BI team operates it.
A product with costs you can plan around, instead of a build that keeps adding people. Microsoft bills the Azure it runs on to you directly, with no reseller markup and nothing idling between jobs.
The only vendor-specific part is the platform software, and it runs in your tenant, operated by your team. Your data stays in open Parquet and is queried with standard SQL, so it stays yours with or without us.
The platform
Everything between your operational systems and your dashboards, delivered as one governed product you run yourself.
SchemaVortex is deployed into the Azure subscription you already run. Your data is not sent to a provider's cloud.
Typical SaaS
It is copied into the provider's cloud and held on their multi-tenant platform. You rent access to data that now lives somewhere you do not control.
SchemaVortex
It is deployed into your Azure subscription and run by your own team. The platform manages its own Azure resources, and there is no vendor access. Your data is governed where it lives and never leaves your tenant.
Built-in connectors for the SQL databases and systems you already run, plus a developer SDK to push in anything custom.
A complete lakehouse, delivered ready to run: ingestion, history, governance and serving in one product, with nothing to assemble or integrate.
Four gates, data classifications that decide who reads each column, and a full audit trail, all active from the moment your first table is discovered.
See how governance worksMart views, Vault tables and Sandbox views can change through proposals: checked against the current state, applied by a person entitled to apply them, under their own name, on the record.The AI Assistant proposes and never applies.
See how proposals workAI Chat explains your schema from metadata only, on your own Azure OpenAI. The AI Assistant lets a coding agent work for a user, under that user's own permissions, with every action logged.Neither sees more than the person asking.
How AI is governedOnce the platform is set up and handed over, your BI team operates it and builds the models, all from the browser.
The data pipeline
Set it up once, and SchemaVortex runs it from there, automatically.
See the storyboardPoint SchemaVortex at any SQL source, and it discovers the tables, columns, types and keys automatically, with no connectors to build. Non-SQL sources come in through the Producer SDK.
What it connects toYour data owners approve which tables and columns may enter the Vault, then classify the data only some people may read. Nothing lands unapproved.
How approval worksYour BI team configures the Vault and the Mart. It decides which data keeps its history and shapes the masked, approved views your analysts work from.

Ready-to-use data reaches the tools your team already uses, such as Power BI, Excel or any SQL client, with no servers to run in between. Access is decided as each query runs.
Highlights
Governance
Every column from every source passes four gates before anyone sees it. Access is decided at query time, so every query returns only what its reader may read, and there is no separate masked copy to keep in sync.
See how governance worksThe Vault
When a source adds a column or changes a type, one edit to the Vault table stores it as a new, versioned column and keeps the old, so the columns existing reports read do not change underneath them.
How the Vault worksLineage
Trace any column back to the source column it came from, or see everything a change would touch. The platform answers both from the views it runs, so view- and column-level lineage is always current.
Explore lineageThe Catalog
A single catalog across the Vault and the Mart, with a schema browser, a live SQL editor and one-click lineage on any column. It is built in, so there is nothing to deploy or scan.
Explore the catalogOpen by design
Your data is open Parquet in your own storage, and your team queries it with standard SQL. The whole platform runs in your subscription, so there is nothing to migrate away from.
Why it is openData and work product stay yours. The platform software runs in your tenant, operated by your team.
