Our Migration Assistant for Cognos expedites report and model migration to Microsoft Fabric and consolidates timelines.
Migrating to Microsoft Fabric
Migrating analytics platforms change how data is accessed, governed and used across the business. As organizations adopt Microsoft Fabric, that shift accelerates, with a unified data foundation through OneLake and new opportunities to streamline analytics, AI and reporting.
Many organizations are operating a broader ecosystem that includes platforms like Snowflake and Databricks. Migrating to Fabric often means more than moving data: it requires rethinking interoperability across platforms, along with how data is modeled, governed and accessed by teams.
It’s a complex undertaking. Without the right preparation, a migration can disrupt critical reporting, erode trust in data and create confusion for users. But with a deliberate approach, organizations can modernize with confidence—preserving what works, improving what doesn’t and fully realizing the value of a more connected data ecosystem.
