AnalyticsCreator is a metadata-driven design application for data warehouse automation and data product engineering across the Microsoft data stack.
At its core is the AnalyticsCreator Governed Control Model, which keeps business meaning, data structures, transformation rules, dependencies and technical implementation connected in one controlled project model. Data teams design the required architecture in AnalyticsCreator, then generate native Microsoft assets from that design.
Generated assets can include SQL Server objects, SSIS packages, Azure Data Factory pipelines, Microsoft Fabric components, deployment artefacts and Power BI semantic models. AnalyticsCreator supports dimensional, 3NF and hybrid modelling approaches together with ingestion, transformations, delta loading, historisation, Slowly Changing Dimensions, snapshots and repeatable data-processing patterns.
Changes made in the model can be propagated across dependent project assets, while lineage, documentation and impact analysis remain connected to the underlying design. This helps teams reduce repetitive engineering work, standardise delivery and understand the effect of change before regenerating affected assets.
AnalyticsCreator generates native Microsoft technology rather than requiring a proprietary runtime. Organisations retain ownership of the resulting implementation and can integrate generated assets into existing Git, Azure DevOps and CI/CD processes.
Design Intelligence extends this governed project context into AI-assisted data engineering by giving authorised AI tools and agents structured access to metadata, lineage, dependencies and design rules.
Typical use cases include enterprise data warehouse development, Microsoft Fabric adoption, SQL Server and SSIS modernisation, governed Power BI delivery, SAP-to-Microsoft analytics architectures and repeatable data product engineering.
