Alluvial: The Portal We Didn’t Know We Needed

From internal fix to enterprise-ready platform.


It started with a simple question:

“Why do we keep rebuilding the same thing?”

Every major program had its own dashboard. Its own viewer. Its own workaround. GIS in one place. BIM in another. KPIs buried in spreadsheets. And every time a new project launched, the same debates surfaced — licenses, environments, delivery format, and who would fund what.

It wasn’t scalable. It wasn’t fast. And it definitely wasn’t modern.

So we built Alluvial — a modular portal where project data becomes insight, and insight becomes action. Today, it powers digital twins, dashboards, and document intelligence across Jacobs. And soon, it’ll be available for other enterprises too.


One Portal, Many Front Doors


ModuleWhy It Matters
DashboardsLive KPIs and geospatial overlays — no license sprawl.
Data Lake StorageSecure, centralized, and cloud-native.
Custom AppsStreamlit, Flask, Shiny — containerized and deployed in minutes.
Paginated ReportsWhen PDF is still the deliverable.
BIM Viewer3D/4D/5D models directly in the browser.
AI Document IntelligenceTranslate or extract without exporting.

Connected directly to Power BI, EVS, and Autodesk Construction Cloud.


When You Solve for Friction, Everything Changes


  • Consultants blocked by license debates become teams with one governed access model that just works.
  • Developers stuck on localhost become contributors to production in a single pull request.
  • Power BI users with nowhere to publish become insight providers at scale.

Solve for ease. Remove friction. And listen to the people on the ground — that’s where the real margin lives.


The Impact on Delivery


“Three-day Excel reconciliation became two clicks — and we can finally see usage.”
— Project Controls Lead

“Clients ask for Alluvial on every bid — it’s part of the brand now.”
— Analytics Architect

“We translated a 350-page regulation in eight minutes. No data ever left our environment.”
— Principal Economist


Why It Matters to Enterprise Leaders


  • Fast onboarding — Project setup, publishing, and access in hours — not weeks.
  • Developer velocity — Container-based deployment with a GitHub-first workflow.
  • Built-in governance — Role-based access, usage tracking, and deployment lineage by design.

What’s Next


  • Azure Marketplace Listing (Coming Soon) — Deploy Alluvial into your Azure subscription. Pay through your existing agreement. Integrate with your SSO and identity model on day one.
  • Conversational AI Add-ons — Interact with your data in natural language.
  • Deeper Microsoft Fabric Integration — Support for DirectLake, BIM+GIS workflows, and data engineering.

Build once. Deploy everywhere. Never rebuild the plumbing.


Alluvial started inside Jacobs. Now it’s being prepared for enterprises that are done wasting time on tools and ready to deliver insights without delay.
