They represent different parts of the workload and cost model. Estimate data retention alongside query, transformation and concurrency requirements rather than assuming data size alone determines expenditure.

Reconcile representative data, validate transformations and access controls, measure workload performance and observe consumption. Agree acceptance criteria before migrating the full estate.

No. Ownership, classification, retention, permissions and quality checks still need definition. Establish these responsibilities before expanding access or introducing new analytical workloads.

Identify source systems, business questions, data owners, update frequency and the people who will use the results. Set requirements for access, residency and retention where applicable. A platform is easier to evaluate when the first workload and its success criteria are specific.

Use a representative workload and record the relevant compute, storage and data-transfer activity. Test scheduling, concurrency and administrative controls. Avoid projecting a production bill from a small demonstration without accounting for growth, refresh frequency and the actual commercial terms.

Check ingestion, transformations, data quality, access controls and the reports or applications that consume the data. Reconcile important results with the source system. Assign owners for failures and schema changes so the pipeline remains useful after the initial migration.

Start with your current environment, the business problem, quantities and intended timeline. List data sources, volumes, refresh frequency and intended users. Identify access, governance and data-location requirements. Define a representative workload, budget controls and quality checks. Request a written scope that separates product entitlements, implementation work and ongoing support. Keep passwords, licence keys and sensitive customer data out of an initial enquiry.
