Assess, architect, migrate, enhance.
Architect
Target data platform, governance and security design.
Migrate
Priority use cases converted with automated agent-driven conversion.
Enhance
New use cases, self-service analytics and ongoing optimisation.
Enablement runs throughout — training, team blending and autonomy.
A coordinator orchestrates specialist agents across the lifecycle.
A coordinator agent, backed by retrieval, a sandboxed coding agent, memory and a knowledge base, directs specialist agents through every stage of the migration.
Core orchestration

- User Proxy Agent & Conversational UI
- Retrieval Agent — LLM + search
- Coding Agent — SLM in Docker sandbox
- Memory — history of work
- Knowledge Base — coding guidelines & rules
Assess & Extract
- Assessment Agent
- Data Extraction Agent
- Report Parsing Agent
Convert & Load
- Mapping Agent
- Transformation Agent
- Loading Agent
- Generation Agent
Validate
- Data Validation Agent
- Report Validation Agent
Operate & Govern

Agentic delivery reshapes the team — humans stay in the loop.
| Role | Traditional | With Switchblade | How the agents help |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data Engineer | 2–3 FTE | 1.5 | Agent handles pipeline and artefact generation |
| BI Developer (Power BI) | 2 FTE | 1 | Most reports scaffolded by the agent |
| Qlik SME | 1 FTE | 0.5 | Agent replaces much of the manual effort |
| QA / Data Tester | 1 FTE | 0.25–0.5 | Agent automates ~80% of checks |
| Project Manager | 1 FTE | 1 | Needed for business coordination |
| Fabric Architect | 1 FTE | 1 | Retained to verify the architecture |
| Business Analyst | 1–2 FTE | 1 | Requirements and UAT still led by humans |
| Total | 8–10 FTE | 5–6 FTE | ~50%+ resource savings |
Projected estimates; actual outcomes depend on scope and complexity.
Secure, Self-Hosted Deployment
Deployed inside your own Azure tenancy.
Switchblade is deployed into an isolated Azure subscription in the customer's own tenancy, hosted on Azure in the customer's own geographical region for data residency. Data created by the platform stays within the boundaries of the customer's Azure environment.
- Hosted on Azure in the client's chosen region — deployed in their own geographical location
- Data and metadata gathered during migration never leave the customer's Azure tenancy
- Private endpoints keep traffic on a private route within the customer network
- Entra Managed Identity provides secure identity management
- Azure AI content safety with prompt shields protects against LLM attacks
- Defender for Cloud adds AI-specific threat protection and leakage prevention
