He operates in a federated mode where some data activity are always centralized under him (e.g. Governance) and some are centralized for some business unit whitout the need skills while others are decentralized becaus the business entities have the needed skills. We tend however to centralize the data activities.

|
|
- **Microsoft Fabric** (BI / Power BI, or primary platform depending on the option selected)
|
|
- **SAS Viya** (regulated actuarial analytics)
|
|
|
|
The underlying platform is Microsoft Azure
|
|
|
|
Two architecture scenarios are currently under evaluation:
|
|
- **Databricks-primary** (v8.0) — current reference architecture
|
|
- **Fabric-primary** (v1.0) — strategic variant under study
