Data and AI consultancy specializing in BI migrations and modern data platforms
Dufrain is a data and AI consultancy operating across strategy, engineering, and analytics for mid-market clients. The stack reveals a modern, Microsoft-centric approach (Power BI, Azure Data Factory, Fabric, Synapse) alongside open-source analytics tools (Databricks, Spark, Delta Lake), reflecting a shift toward cloud-native data platforms. Pain points cluster heavily around legacy system migrations and real-time reporting—the company is actively helping clients move from older BI tooling (implied by QlikView, Teradata, MicroStrategy in specialties) into contemporary stacks, while building out data governance and AI readiness.
Dufrain advises data and analytics teams at enterprises on migrations, BI implementation, data strategy, and advanced analytics. Based in Edinburgh with 51–200 employees, the firm operates across data foundations, platform engineering, migration projects, and AI services. The hiring profile is data-heavy (5 open roles in data, 1 in engineering), concentrated at mid and lead levels, indicating a consultancy scaling specialist capacity rather than building a large software org. Work spans legacy system decommissioning, modern platform implementations on Azure and Databricks, data governance design, and real-time reporting solutions.
