- Manual reporting: Excel is great, but we’re now in the age of AI. Use cutting-edge technology to boost the speed and quality of your reports.
- Management by gut feeling: Intuition is fine – but when it comes to far-reaching business decisions, clear dashboards with current KPIs are better.
- Your system has hit the ceiling: Company knowledge must be able to keep pace with your growth: Connect new sites, countries and data sources with ease going forward.
- Issues with security & compliance: Company data is a treasure that not only needs to be uncovered but also protected. With data analytics, governance, GDPR and audits become manageable.

Secure, scalable and affordable: Thanks to cloud deployment, implementation and operating costs stay manageable while you still get powerful analytics, data governance and compliance. The result: Full data power like the “big players” – with a system that grows with your business.
Data analytics for midsize businesses
End the era of isolated solutions and scattered data: With big data technology from Microsoft Fabric you merge departmental solutions into company-wide architectures. And so you can stay focused on your core business, our co-managed operation model lets you drive the business while COSMO CONSULT delivers targeted expertise for architecture, performance and security.
The big plus: Microsoft Fabric makes the integration of ERP, CRM and classic Office solutions from Microsoft 365 practically effortless – no more homegrown fixes, no more media breaks, no more time-consuming manual data collection.
Data & analytics for large enterprises
Complex business requirements and organizational structures are a tough nut to crack for many software vendors – but not for the market leader: With Microsoft data analytics technology you can easily set global standards for data, governance and compliance and ensure top performance and quality across all regions and business units. With extensions such as Azure AI/ML and Copilot you bring cutting-edge AI capabilities into daily operations – without overwhelming your teams.
Thanks to Fabric’s open architecture, existing ERP ecosystems like SAP, Dynamics 365 or legacy systems are integrated end to end. The platform is scalable at any time, ensures maximum availability and, with its clear role model, supports a global responsibility architecture down to your most remote subsidiary.
How do the data analytics solutions work?
A stable building needs a solid foundation: COSMO CONSULT relies on market-leading Microsoft Fabric technology as the central data platform. It brings together all core capabilities for a modern data analytics infrastructure: OneLake for central data storage, pipelines to connect ERP, CRM and IoT sources including mobile devices, and Dataflows for transformation and modeling. And with Power BI you get dashboards with role-based access rights and can immediately start with your self-service analytics.
Combined with Purview for governance, Azure AI/ML for forecasting and the advanced AI agent Copilot, Microsoft Fabric enables end-to-end processes, high-performance reporting and consistently high data quality – secure and scalable in cloud, on-premises or hybrid deployment scenarios.
Full integration across all systems
Distributed company knowledge needs to be connected – otherwise it remains unused. That’s why you need a technology that is truly connecting in every sense: Open APIs and connectors integrate Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP and CRM, SAP, e-commerce, logistics, databases and IoT/OT seamlessly into the platform.
All data flows into Microsoft Fabric OneLake, creating a central data foundation. Power BI makes information available right where people work on concrete tasks – in Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Outlook and other Microsoft 365 applications. Your benefits: End-to-end processes without media breaks, consistent data across all sources and unified KPIs for planning and steering. At the same time, governance rules, clearly defined roles and data lifecycle management ensure high data quality and security.
Get your business ready for the future with a modern big data architecture that grounds your decisions in a solid knowledge base. It grows with you and helps strengthen compliance across departments and processes.
Intelligent, data-driven processes with data & analytics solutions
With Power BI you turn raw data into valuable business knowledge that can be converted directly into competitive advantage. Dashboards highlight deviations, trends and previously unknown potential. Copilot accelerates and simplifies your analyses. And automated workflows immediately trigger all necessary follow-up processes. That’s what intelligent business management looks like – from forecasting through to concrete action lists.
Dive into a new world of integrated, data-driven processes where every department can perform at its best: Sales focuses on the pipeline, purchasing optimizes costs, manufacturing ensures top quality. The result: higher productivity, well-founded decisions and predictable growth.
Flexible and secure in the cloud
The COSMO data analytics platform is highly flexible in terms of deployment – tailored to your needs. We recommend using it in the cloud (SaaS) so you benefit from rapid implementation, minimal maintenance and automatic updates. On-premises gives you maximum autonomy and data sovereignty, which can be crucial in specific compliance scenarios. As an alternative, a hybrid deployment combines both worlds and strikes the perfect balance between flexibility and ownership.
