Enterprise Program Brief
Deliver a bounded customer engagement using an existing platform project, not a greenfield build from scratch. Proposed instructor-led duration; delivery subject to environment and lab validation.
Program Snapshot
Engagement scoped to cohort
VNode ITeS delivers Forward Deployed Delivery Practicum as an MCT-led VNode ITeS program for Engineers, Customer-facing consultants, Solution engineers. Typical duration is 24 hours (Private cohort). Delivery stays scoped to how your teams will actually use the platform after the room empties. Private cohorts can shift emphasis by role mix, workspace or repo constraints, and rollout timing.

Program Outcomes
Enterprise Delivery
VNode-designed, vendor-aligned instructor-led program. Scope role mix, delivery format, and rollout goals for your cohort.
Curriculum
Proposed instructor-led duration; delivery subject to environment and lab validation.
Module 1 · 6 hours
Interview simulated stakeholders and qualify a constrained opportunity.
Concept and design 3h · applied exercise 2.25h · review 0.75h. Included within module duration; no extra hours. Refine during delivery planning without silently changing published course hours.
Applied exercise: Customer discovery and qualification
Interview simulated stakeholders and qualify a constrained opportunity.
Expected output. Customer discovery and qualification brief
Acceptance. The discovery brief supports a bounded, measurable opportunity with named owners.
Module 2 · 6 hours
Negotiate scope and a staged delivery plan for the existing project.
Concept and design 3h · applied exercise 2.25h · review 0.75h. Included within module duration; no extra hours. Refine during delivery planning without silently changing published course hours.
Applied exercise: Scope and delivery design
Negotiate scope and a staged delivery plan for the existing project.
Expected output. Agreed scope and implementation plan
Acceptance. The delivery plan is accepted against a clear scope and testable completion criteria.
Module 3 · 6 hours
Adapt the existing implementation to a scope change and explain trade-offs.
Concept and design 3h · applied exercise 2.25h · review 0.75h. Included within module duration; no extra hours. Refine during delivery planning without silently changing published course hours.
Applied exercise: Delivery under changing constraints
Adapt the existing implementation to a scope change and explain trade-offs.
Expected output. Iteration and change-decision record
Acceptance. A scope change produces a justified decision and demonstrable bounded solution adjustment.
Module 4 · 6 hours
Conduct an acceptance review and hand over the bounded solution with unresolved risks recorded.
Concept and design 1.5h · applied exercise 3h · review 1.5h. Included within module duration; no extra hours. Refine during delivery planning without silently changing published course hours.
Capstone: Customer acceptance and handover
Conduct an acceptance review and hand over the bounded solution with unresolved risks recorded.
Expected output. Assessed customer delivery dossier
Acceptance. The customer dossier supports an explicit acceptance decision and accountable handover.
One 24-hour practicum. A cohort selects one platform edition. Editions are alternatives and do not add hours or create extra courses.
Employee service request. Adapt the agent, controlled action and authenticated publishing design
Engineering prerequisite: Copilot Studio Agent Engineering
Selected edition uses the same 24-hour practicum; editions are alternatives, not additive stages.
Enterprise knowledge and request assistant. Adapt retrieval, bounded tools and deployment decisions
Engineering prerequisite: Applied AI Engineering with Microsoft Foundry
Selected edition uses the same 24-hour practicum; editions are alternatives, not additive stages.
Service operations data product. Adapt analytical metrics, ingestion contract and conversational analytics
Engineering prerequisite: Microsoft Fabric Data and AI Solution Engineering
Selected edition uses the same 24-hour practicum; editions are alternatives, not additive stages.
Governed operational lakehouse. Adapt pipeline, analytical serving and bounded AI consumption
Engineering prerequisite: Databricks Data and AI Solution Engineering
Selected edition uses the same 24-hour practicum; editions are alternatives, not additive stages.
Conduct an acceptance review and hand over the bounded solution with unresolved risks recorded. Assessed customer delivery dossier Evidence of relevant access, quality and risk controls Demonstration and limitations record
Scenario-based practical assessment Adapt an existing solution to an agreed customer scope 30% Demonstrate measurable acceptance and a handled scope change 25% Assign customer, delivery, risk and operating responsibilities 25% Present an explicit acceptance decision and actionable handover 20% Proposed VNode outline-level assessment; no vendor accreditation or completed lab validation implied.
Step-by-step lab instructions; Runnable solution code; Packaged source datasets; Executed environment validation
Count teaching hours, not calendar days. Exclude breaks. Split into 4-hour or 8-hour teaching sessions; schedule complex project work in contiguous blocks.
Delivery Models
Engagement Fit
Enterprise Customization
Tailor this program to your organization's priorities: Deliver a bounded customer engagement using an existing platform project, not a greenfield build from scratch.
Resources
Yes. Most enterprise clients prefer private delivery scoped to role mix, timezone, and rollout timeline. We align lab environments and scenarios to your tenant context where applicable.
Enterprise Proof
“The Microsoft Fabric implementation program gave our data engineering team a structured path from legacy pipelines to a modern lakehouse architecture.”
“We needed a partner who understood both the technical depth of Azure OpenAI and the governance requirements of an enterprise.”
Banking & Finance
The focus was not just on tooling knowledge, but on helping teams work from a shared operating model as they adopted a more modern data platform.
Healthcare
The engagement helped product and engineering stakeholders move from interest in AI to clearer implementation choices, security expectations, and prototyping discipline.
