We're proud to share that phData has earned the Agentic AI Consulting Services category of the AWS AI Competency!

This recognition reflects what it takes to put agentic AI to work. We build for security and scale, design AI responsibly from the start, and deliver results in production for enterprise customers on AWS.

Thank you to our customers and to our Amazon Web Services partners for the trust they place in us, and to our delivery teams who turn agentic AI ambition into business value.

Unstructured document processing usually requires complex extraction models, tedious schema mapping, and messy manual pipelines.

In our latest walk-through, we demonstrate how to leverage a domain-agnostic Snowflake Inc. Cortex skill to ingest OCR files, like clinical PDFs and docs, model them automatically, and query them using natural language.

Key highlights from the demo:

1. Automated Scaffolding: End-to-end repository creation, privilege checks, and Python notebooks generated on the fly.

2. Dynamic Schema Discovery: Automatic schema inference across varied document layouts.

3. Self-Learning Feedback Loop: User corrections in the built-in Streamlit app automatically generate new prompt rules to improve model extraction over time.

4. Cortex Search & Q&A: Ask plain-English questions to query structured outputs or chat directly with your document repository.

Giving everyone access to Claude takes an afternoon. Keeping spending, access, and information in check takes a plan.

Power Digital Marketing is rolling out across a growing user base. We ran a 51-control review covering SSO, Okta groups, spend-tier roles, model governance, connector restrictions, and Cowork and Code access.

What they got:
- 15 governance decisions documented for their owners.
- Users are grouped into tiers, so higher capabilities and spend limits follow completed training.
- Claude spent charges back to individual departments.
- 6 deliverables, including a Streamlit app for usage attribution.

Governance is 1 of 4 workstreams in how we activate Claude for enterprise teams. It’s the one that keeps the other 3 sound as usage grows.

At phData, we use Slack to help build community. Our channels connect people across interests, humor, and sometimes just pure randomness:

📚 -books
☕ -coffee-snobz
😂 -jokes
🎬 -movies-and-tv
🐶 -pet-pictures (arguably our busiest channel, social or otherwise)
👋 -michael-mike (yes, a channel for everyone here named Michael or Mike)

Bringing people together takes steady effort. We're always on the lookout for people who want to be part of our team of Mikes and pet lovers (disclaimer: we also hire people without pets and not named Mike).

Ryan Leonard, a Senior Applied AI Solutions Architect at phData, just earned his Amazon Web Services Golden Jacket, with certifications across the Foundational, Associate, Professional, and Specialty tracks.

Ryan's work on responsible AI controls for autonomous agents on AWS rests on two ideas: build controls around risk from day one, and set clear limits on what an agent can do.

Controls like these separate an agentic AI demo from one a client can trust in a production workflow.

Congrats, Ryan. Well earned!

Token usage tells you what AI costs. It doesn’t tell you what it’s worth.

Developers spend only about 11% of their week writing code. The rest is meetings, design, testing, and thinking. Faster code alone can’t be the whole story.

To see AI’s impact on engineering, measure four things:
- Speed
- Developer effectiveness
- Software quality
- Business impact

Not sure how to start tracking them? Daniel Pierce, phData’s principal software engineer, walks you through it: https://www.phdata.io/blog/engineering-productivity-ai-impact/

A $9B+ cruise line calculated employee incentives on a decade-old Oracle and MS Access system. Every daily run took 6 to 8 hours, and nobody could safely change it.

Each of its three brands had its own rules, and a decade of them had gone undocumented. Every exception meant another Access workaround.

phData rebuilt the logic as modular dbt models on Snowflake Inc., with validation checks that reconcile every run against the legacy output.

The results:
→ Daily batch time down from 6-8 hours to 3-4 hours
→ Less than 1% variance from legacy output, confirmed before cutover
→ 3 brands on 1 platform, with the Oracle and MS Access systems retired
→ Rebuild and migration finished in about 6 to 7 months

Finance and operations gained confidence in the numbers without line-by-line audits. Business users now handle exceptions like split commissions in a Streamlit app, and the incentive logic is auditable and maintainable for the first time.

dbt Labs says the data foundation that makes analytics trustworthy is the same one that makes AI trustworthy.

At dbt Summit, dbt made dbt v2 and dbt State generally available (dbt reports an average 15-30%+ drop in warehouse compute with dbt State). It also announced dbt Wizard, an agent built for analytics engineering (public preview), and out-of-the-box context integrations with Anthropic and a plugin for ChatGPT.

Customers keep asking us how to build a data foundation solid enough for AI. As a 4-time dbt Partner of the Year, our answer starts with a tested, governed transformation layer, so AI applications work from trusted data. dbt v2 makes that layer faster, and the new integrations put its context in front of agents.
