Our Process

How we move you from Tableau to Power BI

We don't "lift and shift." We re-engineer your analytics for performance, governance, and scale in the Microsoft ecosystem — in 12 weeks or less.

Methodology

Four phases. Twelve weeks. Zero downtime.

A structured, transparent process designed to minimize risk and maximize adoption.

01

Discover & Assess

Week 1–2

We scan your Tableau environment to inventory every workbook, data source, and user. We identify what to migrate, what to retire, and what to re-engineer.

  • Full workbook & data source inventory
  • Usage analytics — who uses what, how often
  • Complex calculation flagging (LOD, table calcs)
  • Stakeholder interviews & priority mapping
02

Architecture & Design

Week 3–4

We design the Power BI deployment: workspace structure, security model, and a clean Star Schema semantic model that replaces scattered Tableau data sources.

  • Star schema data modeling
  • Row-level security (RLS) architecture
  • Workspace, app & gateway planning
  • Mockups for critical dashboards
03

Migrate & Build

Week 5–10

The heavy lifting. Our automated tools extract logic and convert where possible. Our experts manually refine complex calculations into DAX best practices.

  • Automated logic extraction from .twbx files
  • DAX measure development & optimization
  • Report reconstruction with Power BI visuals
  • Data pipeline implementation (Fabric/Azure)
04

Validate & Enable

Week 11–12

We parallel-run both systems to confirm numbers match. Then we train your team, hand over documentation, and officially cut over.

  • Side-by-side data validation (UAT)
  • Performance tuning & optimization
  • Admin & analyst training sessions
  • Full documentation & data dictionary
Deliverables

What you walk away with

Every engagement produces tangible, documented outputs — not just migrated files.

  • Comprehensive Migration Plan & Timeline
  • Re-engineered Star Schema Data Models
  • Validated Power BI Reports & Dashboards
  • Row-Level Security (RLS) Implementation
  • Full Documentation & Data Dictionary
  • User Training & Handover Sessions

Typical Migration ROI

Most organizations see ROI within 6–9 months through licensing consolidation and reduced maintenance burden.

Beyond Migration

We also help with

Migration is our flagship — but we support the full lifecycle of your Power BI journey.

Training & Enablement

Tailored Power BI training for Tableau analysts — focusing on DAX, data modeling, and the differences that matter.

Governance Setup

Center-of-excellence frameworks, sensitivity labels, certification workflows, and RLS so your data is trusted from day one.

Data Engineering

Clean pipelines in Azure or Fabric to feed your semantic models with reliable, well-structured data.

Ongoing Support

Already on Power BI? We optimize slow reports, tune DAX, and provide support for critical dashboards.
