In brief

Indicative duration: 2 to 9 months depending on volume
Format: Fixed price per batch or time and materials
Method step: Transverse

Who it is for

Companies modernising their data platform, towards Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Snowflake or BigQuery
Companies changing BI tools, for example from Qlik, SAP BusinessObjects or Tableau to Power BI
Groups consolidating their tools after an acquisition

The problem we solve

A migration rarely fails on technology. It fails when users can no longer find their figures

How we work

Inventory and rationalisation before migrating
Conversion of models and calculations, not just screens
Parallel run and reconciliation of figures, indicator by indicator
Cutover in waves, change management, switch-off of the old tool and maintenance of the new one

What you get

An inventory and a migration plan
Converted, documented models
A reconciliation report on the figures
A training and communication plan
A switch-off plan for the old tool

Tools

Power BI, Qlik, Tableau, SAP BusinessObjects, MicroStrategy, Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Snowflake, Google BigQuery, Talend, Informatica, SAP BW, and any other BI tool or data platform

Frequently asked questions

Is migrating from Qlik to Power BI just converting reports?

It is mostly converting calculations and definitions, then proving that the figures match. We use it as a chance to rationalise the estate and certify the datasets

How long should both tools run side by side?

At least one full month-end close, and until every discrepancy is explained
