We're one of the UK's largest telecommunications companies, supporting 42 million customers, 300 DBT users, 100 DBT projects and spending millions of dollars on compute annually in a single-tenant environment. At this scale, inefficiency isn't a nuisance…it's a cost.

In this session, we'll demonstrate how DBT Fusion cut wait times, reduced spend and broke reliance on CI/CD. With state-aware orchestration, instant SQL validation and column-level lineage, we've transformed how we build and ship data. We'll show how implementing Static Analysis raised quality, consistency, and trust.

Crucially, we'll demonstrate the before-and-after as we quantify the measurable gains achieved with DBT Fusion in terms of cost and speed.

We'll share the setup, challenges, wins and finally - explore what's next for us, whether thats AI, DBT skills and agentic workflows.

This is about more than tooling, it's about unlocking speed and intelligence at scale.
