Unifying Data, AI, and Business Intelligence in One Platform

Fabric Migration Services

Fabric migration services help organisations move their data, analytics and reporting workloads into Microsoft Fabric. These services cover planning, technical migration, governance, optimisation and user adoption so the platform can be used securely and effectively for business intelligence, data engineering, real‑time analytics and AI.

Problems You May Have

Siloed data and duplicated pipelines

Multiple copies of the same data across systems cause wasted cost, inconsistent metrics and slow discovery.

Slow or brittle analytics

Legacy ETL and batch‑only processes make insight delivery slow and error prone.

Lack of governance and visibility

No unified lineage, policy enforcement or centralised access control across BI, engineering and data science.

Unpredictable cost and poor scaling

Inefficient capacity management and improper workload placement lead to overspend or performance issues.

Low self-service adoption

Business users lack trustworthy semantic models, tooling or guidance to create their own insights.

Difficulty productionising AI

Inefficient capacity management and improper workload placement lead to overspend or performance issues.

How we solve them

Automated Data Ingestion
Our Accelerator uses a metadata‑driven, configuration‑based ingestion process that records sources, validation rules and credential references. Configurations reference Azure Key Vault for secure secret storage, giving a fast, repeatable and auditable intake pipeline.
Data Validation
Column‑level, customisable checks (nulls, ranges, types, regex). Failures surface in Power BI alerts and simple dashboards so data custodians can quickly prioritise and fix issues.
Transformation Configuration
A structured manifest governs transformations by explicitly defining their order and dependencies. This ensures each transform runs in the correct sequence, simplifies maintenance, and keeps downstream datasets consistently up to date and responsive to change.
Antares Fabric Framework
The Antares Fabric Framework provides prebuilt, industry‑aligned data models and report patterns to speed the move from raw sources to Power BI insights. These ready‑to‑use assets let organisations deliver common analytics faster and get more value from their data.

FAQ’s

What is Microsoft Fabric?

Microsoft Fabric is an all-in-one analytics solution for enterprises that covers everything from data movement to data science, real-time analytics, and business intelligence. It offers a comprehensive suite of services, including data lake, data engineering, and data integration, all in one place.
What are the benefits of Microsoft Fabric?

Microsoft Fabric simplifies your analytics needs by providing a highly integrated, end-to-end, and easy-to-use product that is designed to work seamlessly with your existing data sources and tools. With Fabric, you can enjoy the following advantages:
– Access to an extensive range of deeply integrated analytics in the industry.
– Shared experiences across experiences that are familiar and easy to learn.
– A unified data lake that allows you to retain the data where it is while using your preferred analytics tools.
– Centralised administration and governance across all experiences.
Is Power BI still available as a standalone product?

Power BI is now part of Microsoft Fabric. While Pro and Premium Per User licences remain available, enterprise capacity is licensed through Fabric (F SKUs).
Do existing Power BI reports still work?

Yes. Your current Power BI content and workspaces remain fully functional. They are simply enhanced by Fabric capabilities.
What are F SKUs?

F SKUs are the new Fabric capacity licences, replacing Power BI Premium P SKUs. For example, F64 capacity replaces the old P1 licence.
What’s the difference between Power BI Pro, PPU, and Fabric?

• Pro: Per-user licence for report sharing.
• PPU: Premium Per User, offering advanced capabilities on a per-user basis.
• Fabric (F SKUs): Capacity-based licences enabling enterprise-wide analytics.
What is OneLake and how does it work with Microsoft Fabric?

OneLake is the foundation on which all the Fabric services are built. It is also known as Microsoft Fabric Lake. It is built into the Fabric service and provides a unified location to store all organisational data where the experiences operate. OneLake is built on top of ADLS (Azure Data Lake Storage) Gen2. It provides a single SaaS experience and a tenant-wide store for data that serves both professional and citizen developers. OneLake eliminates today’s pervasive and chaotic data silos, which individual developers create when they provision and configure their own isolated storage accounts. Instead, OneLake provides a single, unified storage system for all developers, where discovery and data sharing is trivial and compliance with policy and security settings are enforced centrally and uniformly. All the Microsoft Fabric compute experiences are prewired to OneLake, just like the Office applications are prewired to use the organisational OneDrive. The experiences such as Data Engineering, Data Warehouse, Data Factory, Power BI, and Real-Time Analytics use OneLake as their native store. They don’t need any extra configuration.
Is Fabric only for large enterprises?

No. Fabric is designed for businesses of all sizes. Smaller organisations can start with Pro or PPU licences, while larger enterprises benefit from Fabric capacity.
How can I get started with Microsoft Fabric?

To get started with Microsoft Fabric, you need to have a Microsoft 365 account and a Fabric subscription. You can sign up for a free trial or purchase a subscription from the Fabric website. Once you have a subscription, you can access the Fabric portal and start creating your workspaces, lakehouses, and experiences. You can also use the Fabric documentation and tutorials to learn more about the features and capabilities of the platform.
