Our Proven Microsoft Fabric Implementation Process
Our consultants help you plan, implement and optimise Microsoft Fabric solutions that support your business goals.
1
Discovery, Architecture & Readiness Assessment
We begin by assessing your current data maturity. Our consultants conduct a deep-dive audit of your existing infrastructure - whether it’s SQL Server, Azure Synapse, or disparate on-premise sources - to identify migration pathways. We define your core business objectives and determine the optimal Fabric capacity and architecture to meet your performance and budget needs.
Strategic Roadmap & OneLake Design
2
Before moving data, we design the destination. We create a tailored Microsoft Fabric strategy that maps out your unified data estate, including OneLake structure, security roles, and governance policies. This phase delivers a clear blueprint for how data will flow from source to insight, ensuring your new environment is scalable, secure, and ready for AI integration.
Migration, Development & Enablement
3
We execute the transition with precision. Our team handles the technical migration of pipelines, notebooks, and semantic models into Fabric, ensuring zero downtime. Once the platform is live, we focus on user enablement - providing hands-on training for your analysts and engineers so they can confidently build, manage, and innovate within the new environment.
Microsoft Fabric Consulting FAQs
How much does Microsoft Fabric consulting cost in Australia?
Microsoft Fabric consulting costs typically range from $200 to $250+ per hour for specialist Australian firms, with initial architectural assessments or PoC projects starting between $5,000 and $20,000. Because Fabric is an enterprise-grade SaaS platform that unifies data engineering, warehousing, and analytics, the total investment depends on the number of data workloads and your required capacity (F-SKUs). For full-scale migrations from legacy SQL or Synapse environments into a Fabric Lakehouse, projects often range from $25,000 to $60,000+.
To receive a tailored cost breakdown for your specific data estate, we recommend booking a scoping call with our senior architects.
What does a Microsoft Fabric consultant actually do?
A Microsoft Fabric consultant specialises in designing and implementing a unified data architecture that connects your entire organisation through "OneLake." Unlike traditional setups that require managing separate services for data moving and storage, our consultants architect a single SaaS environment that handles everything from ingestion to insights. We focus on:
Lakehouse Architecture: Designing scalable Delta Lake tables for high-performance querying.
Data Factory Pipelines: Automating complex ETL/ELT processes to move data from any source into Fabric.
Synapse Data Engineering: Building robust data warehouses using Spark or SQL endpoints.
Unified Governance: Implementing Purview and security protocols to keep your data compliant.
Explore how we help businesses simplify their data stack on our Case Studies page.
How long does a Microsoft Fabric implementation take?
A typical Microsoft Fabric implementation project takes between 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the volume of historical data and the complexity of your current infrastructure. Because Fabric is a "Software as a Service" platform, we can deploy the environment quickly, allowing us to spend more time on data modelling and value-added analytics.
Proof of Concept (3-4 weeks): Setting up a core Lakehouse with 1-2 key data sources to prove ROI.
Standard Migration (6-8 weeks): Moving existing SQL or Power BI workloads into the unified Fabric environment.
Enterprise Evolution (10+ weeks): Full-scale data mesh implementation with real-time analytics and executive dashboards.
Many of our Fabric clients also utilise our Power BI consulting services to visualise the data we architect in Fabric.
Why should we hire a Microsoft Fabric consultant instead of using in-house resources?
Hiring a Microsoft Fabric consultant provides the specialized architectural knowledge required to navigate a brand-new platform, preventing costly configuration errors that lead to high monthly "capacity" costs. As Microsoft Fabric is a recent evolution in the data space, most in-house teams lack the deep experience required to manage the nuances of OneLake and Fabric’s unique compute-sharing model.
By partnering with an external Microsoft Fabric expert, you ensure your data architecture is future-proofed and optimised for performance from day one. Our team works alongside your staff to provide comprehensive knowledge transfer, ensuring your organisation is self-sufficient once the initial implementation is complete.
Can a Microsoft Fabric consultant integrate my legacy data sources?
Yes, our Microsoft Fabric consulting team specialises in building automated pipelines that ingest data from legacy on-premise servers, cloud databases, and third-party SaaS applications into OneLake. Microsoft Fabric is designed to be the "connective tissue" for all your business information, regardless of where it currently lives.
We create robust connections for high-value sources including SQL Server, SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce, as well as modern cloud stacks like Snowflake or AWS. By unifying these disparate sources, we eliminate data silos and provide your leadership team with a single, trustworthy view of business performance.
