Designing a modern Microsoft Fabric architecture and an executive adoption plan
A blueprint leadership could act on: how the move off on-prem SQL would work, what it would cost, and why Fabric was the right platform to build on.
An aging on-prem estate, and no architecture to replace it with.
The client needed a clear architectural blueprint for moving from an aging on-prem SQL environment to Microsoft Fabric.
The legacy BI estate could not scale for growing data volumes, self-service, or executive reporting — and there was no modern architecture to support cloud scale.
The on-prem estate still ran, but it had nowhere left to grow.
We engaged Dataracity to lead the design and recommendation phase of one of our client's enterprise data architecture projects on the Microsoft platform. From the outset their expertise was evident — they introduced us to Microsoft Fabric and provided a robust framework rooted in industry best practices. Beyond high-level strategy, they delivered tangible assets including detailed system architecture diagrams, data flow charts, and comprehensive price modeling. Their technical execution is just as impressive as their strategic planning. I highly recommend Dataracity for any organisation looking to modernise their data stack with precision and clarity.
