AI-Ready Data Platforms

Pipelines and warehouses agents can read.

Twistag designs, builds and runs the data platform that reports, teams and AI agents read from every day: clean, current and connected to the ERP and CRM, in the company’s own cloud.

Why a data platform

Most AI stalls on data: spread across systems, out of date and owned by no one.

  • 01Three versions of the same number. Finance, sales and operations each report their own.
  • 02Yesterday’s data for today’s decisions. Exports and manual refreshes set the pace.
  • 03Agents with nothing reliable to read. Pilots work on samples, then fail on the real thing.
What gets built

One platform for reports, teams and agents.

Every source is ranked by what fixing it is worth before anything is built, and every data product reports against a number agreed with leadership.

How it runs

Six to twelve weeks to the first data product.

Discovery fixes the scope first. The platform grows once the number agreed with leadership has moved.

Questions

About AI-ready data platforms.

What does it cost?

Cost follows scope: the systems to connect, how mature the current data layer is and how long the team stays. A proposal follows within a week of the first call.

How soon can work start?

A thirty-minute call, a written proposal within seven days, and a discovery sprint of two to four weeks to confirm scope before the build.

Which clouds and warehouses does Twistag use?

AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure; Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks and Redshift. Twistag extends what is already in place before adding anything new.

Does the company need a data platform before starting with AI?

No. Data preparation comes first wherever it is needed and is scoped as part of the plan.

Who owns what is built?

The client owns everything: source code, infrastructure as code, pipelines, models and documentation, handed over in full with training for the team.

Can the internal team run it afterwards?

Yes. Engineers pair during the build, every system is documented, and handover walkthroughs happen before the engagement ends.
