Migration and Modernization

Migrate from your current platform with MigrateFAST

MigrateFAST, our migration accelerator, automates the repeatable conversion so our engineers spend their time on the judgment calls.

Reporting and BI platforms

Dashboards, reports, and semantic models are rebuilt in Power BI. The work is recreating report logic and calculations, not moving storage.

Migrating from
  • Tableau
  • MicroStrategy
  • Qlik
  • SAP BusinessObjects
  • Cognos
  • SAP Crystal Reports
Lands in
  • Power BI

Data platforms and pipelines

Warehouses, lakehouses, and ETL are rebuilt on a modern data platform. Schemas and data move; transformation logic and stored procedures are rewritten for the destination.

Engagement steps

Assessment

No cost

Assess your reporting and data landscape, identify pain points, and evaluate which destination platform fits, with a clear analysis to inform your decision.

1–3 weeks

MVP engagement

No cost

Migrate two to three medium-complexity reports to validate performance and usability, then build a detailed plan and cost estimate for the full transition.

4 weeks

Migration

Migrate all organizational reports in phases, with change management and ongoing performance monitoring.

Depends on volume

Training and CoE

Build essential Power BI skills through targeted sessions, and stand up a Center of Excellence for ongoing governance and adoption.

No cost. No obligation. You get a clear picture of scope, effort, and ROI in one to three weeks.

Why migrate

One source of truth

Reports, data preparation, and pipelines read from the same governed model on Fabric, Databricks, or Snowflake.

Lower platform cost

Legacy licenses and support contracts retire as their workloads move.

Governance by default

Lineage, security, and row-level access defined once for the whole estate.

Ready for AI

Copilot and agents answer from a model that returns one consistent number.

Migration FAQs

How long does a migration take?

Assessment runs one to three weeks and an MVP engagement four weeks. Full migration timelines depend on data landscape and complexity, both of which are scored during discovery so the plan carries dates before work starts.

What does the free assessment cover?

An inventory of your current BI assets, complexity and similarity scoring, dependency mapping, and an effort and ROI estimate. It comes at no cost and no obligation.

Which source platforms do you migrate from?

Reporting platforms (Tableau, MicroStrategy, Qlik, SAP BusinessObjects, Cognos, and SAP Crystal Reports) move to Power BI. Data platforms and pipelines (Alteryx, Informatica, and Azure Synapse) move to Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, or Snowflake, depending on the estate you already run.

How accurate is the automated conversion?

Up to 80% of conversion completes automatically. Remaining items surface in visual diff review, return to the agents for automated fixes, and re-validate until they pass.

How is governance handled after migration?

Lineage, security, row-level security, and workspace standards are configured as part of the governance stage, then supported through hypercare and a Center of Excellence.
