Case study
On-premise Data Warehouse migration to Microsoft Fabric
Full migration of an on-premise DW to a Lakehouse architecture on Microsoft Fabric.
Problem
An on-premise Data Warehouse limited scalability and modernization. Modeling, pipelines, SQL procedures and reports had to move to the cloud without losing consistency.

Solution
- Dimensional modeling and schema optimization on the new platform.
- Built and tuned ingestion and transformation pipelines with Fabric.
- Migrated and re-implemented SQL procedures to the Lakehouse environment.
- Published and tuned Power BI reports and dashboards connected to the Lakehouse.
Results
- Modern, scalable, cloud-based platform.
- Standardized ingestion and transformation pipelines on Fabric.
- Reports served directly from the Lakehouse.
