One set of data everyone trusts, instead of many copies nobody does.
We see Microsoft Fabric as the common foundation for reporting, Copilot and agents. That means OneLake, a Lakehouse and permissions managed in one place, with automated deployments and costs kept under control. You might be moving off Tableau, replacing an ageing data warehouse, or not have a workable platform at all yet. The route is different every time. The destination is the same.
What really matters
Three routes, and we have taken all of them
First, moving the front end from Tableau or Qlik to Power BI. Second, replacing a Synapse, SQL Server or SSIS back end with a Lakehouse. Third, building from scratch to replace an Excel landscape that has grown over the years. Chances are we already know your source system.
Phased migration, while the business keeps running
We run the old and new environments side by side until the numbers match. Each phase is reconciled with the business teams and signed off by them. At Telefónica Germany, this worked without a single day of downtime.
Built for what comes next
Permissions, cost control and deployments are part of the build from the start. A platform that stays manageable once the project is over can also support Copilot and agents. That is exactly what we design it for.
How we approach it together
We measure before we touch anything
Which reports are actually used? Which are copies? Which load processes only still run out of habit? A pilot on your real data shows whether the architecture holds up. Only then do you decide, with the figures in front of you.
Phase by phase, signed off by the business
Capacity and workspaces are set up as code. The data layer is built or migrated, followed by semantic models and reports. Old and new figures sit side by side until they agree.
We are done when you no longer need us
Your developers work alongside us in every phase and gradually take over. On the cut-over date, we switch off the old platform. If you like, you can keep us on to run things afterwards.
Five specific improvements to one of your reports
Many reports are slow or contradict each other, and the visuals are almost never to blame. Describe a report to us, and we will come back to you with a secure way to share it, then send you five specific improvements. Free of charge.
What you get
Where the scope is clear from the outset, we work to a fixed price; ongoing operations are billed as a monthly flat fee. We discuss figures in person after the assessment, when both sides know what is involved.
Short Assessment: ETL Replacement

For companies of every size
For a mid-sized business, a data platform often means an end to twenty Excel files that everyone maintains differently. We build you a lean, clean foundation on Fabric that talks to your ERP. It fits a team of ten as well as a company of several hundred.
Invoice and inspection-deadline agents for facilities management
Every maintenance invoice is checked against its contract, and no inspection deadline slips through. How it works at a facilities management provider with 600 properties.
Around 3,100 invoices arrive each month across 600 properties, from lift companies, cleaning firms, gritting and snow-clearing services and inspection bodies. The framework contracts are spread across three folder structures; the inspection reports sit in the property managers' inboxes. Maintenance visits billed twice come to light at year-end. Missed inspection deadlines come to light when the insurer spots them. And the monthly reporting to the owners is put together by hand in Excel.

See the solutionFrequently asked questions
We use Tableau. Is switching to Power BI really worth it?
The assessment answers that with figures. It shows what is used, what is merely a copy and what your current estate costs. At Telefónica, of 1,000 reports, only those someone genuinely needed were migrated in the end. You can then make the decision without any pressure.
Why a Lakehouse rather than a rebuilt warehouse?
Because it lasts longer. A Lakehouse with Direct Lake serves reporting and AI from the same data. Where it is simpler, we mirror sources. That beats building load processes that someone will have to replace again in three years.
How long does the old environment keep running alongside?
Until the numbers match. Every phase is checked against the legacy data and approved by the business teams. Nothing is switched off before the agreed cut-over date.
What if we use Databricks or SAP?
Then we connect both as sources. Fabric remains the target, because that is where reporting, agents and Copilot share one foundation. We come from large enterprise landscapes and know which shortcuts come back to bite you.
Shall we talk about your first process?
In a Short Assessment we sit down with your business team and IT and look at one process together. You leave with a clear target design and an effort estimate we stand behind. Free of charge.
