The world's greatest detective. One tough case

A drizzly morning at 221 Baker Street finds Sherlock digging into a new and peculiar case—one involving no stolen jewels, no hounds howling on a dark moor, and no cryptic letters. 

 

Instead, the client is the recently appointed CEO of mid-sized business: 500 employees, a stable yet stagnant revenue stream, challenged by aggressive competitive encroachment on the customer base.   

Once a market leader, the business has struggled to maintain competitive pace. It is floundering and without a clue as to why.

Turning around company fortunes will require a wide-ranging operational review. The CEO explains it is imperative she gain insight to the root cause of dipping profitability, soaring overheads and customer turnover. 

She suspects the answers are buried deep within the company’s own data.

 

Sherlocks task? To uncover them using a singular tool: Microsoft Fabric. 

 With Fabric as his digital magnifying glass, Holmes launches the most modern investigation he has ever taken on.
