Microsoft Fabric when it helps reporting—not because it is trendy

We decide when Fabric helps you report better, what can stay in Power BI as-is, and how capacity is owned—without a science project.

The problem we solve

Fabric is not mandatory for every Power BI estate. We assess whether a lakehouse/warehouse path, or sticking with Power BI Import from SQL, is the cheaper trustworthy way to report—then implement a thin slice if Fabric wins.

What you get

What ships in a focused first engagement—not a vague transformation promise.

  • Deliverable 1: Fit assessment: stay as-is vs move selected data into Fabric
  • Deliverable 2: Capacity sizing advice based on how people actually use reports
  • Deliverable 3: One subject-area slice (data → model → report) if you proceed
  • Deliverable 4: Workspace and ownership recommendations
  • Deliverable 5: Cost and operations checklist for whoever pays the bill
  • Deliverable 6: Decision log of what not to migrate yet

How it works

A realistic sequence with calendar time, assuming prompt access and stakeholders.

  1. 01

    3–5 days

    Workload interview

    Capture how fresh data must be, how many people hit reports at once, and who builds models today.

  2. 02

    2–3 days

    Architecture decision

    Produce a written recommendation with cost and skill implications.

  3. 03

    2–4 weeks

    Vertical slice (if proceed)

    Implement one subject area end-to-end and measure refresh and interactive behavior.

Practical details

The decisions that matter before the first report goes live.

  • 01If Import from clean SQL already reports well, we say so—Fabric is not a vanity upgrade.
  • 02Open access without monitoring is how capacity bills surprise finance.
  • 03Many teams keep curated finance models in Power BI even when Fabric exists for engineering data.

Frequently asked questions

04

Buyer questions answered

No. If your current Power BI approach is enough, we say so. Fabric is recommended when engineering and BI share a real platform need.

One to two weeks for a written recommendation. A vertical slice adds two to four weeks.

Current model sizes, refresh timelines, concurrency estimates, and who pays the capacity bill.

Microsoft list pricing changes; we advise on sizing logic. Commercial quotes go through a Microsoft partner path.
