What is Microsoft Fabric?

One platform. Every workload. Power BI included.

Microsoft Fabric is a unified, cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) analytics platform that brings together data integration, data engineering, data warehousing, real-time analytics, and business intelligence into a single platform, all operating over a shared storage layer called OneLake.

Power BI is one of the core workloads within Fabric. That means the Power BI content you already rely on continues to work, while sitting alongside data engineering, warehousing, and real-time analytics in one unified environment.

If you use Power BI today, Microsoft Fabric is your natural next step.

Data Factory

Data ingestion, orchestration and transformation

Data Engineering

Spark, notebooks, Lakehouse, and large-scale transformation

Data Warehouse

SQL-based warehousing and analytics

Real-Time Intelligence

Streaming and event-driven analytics

Power BI

Reporting and analytics, built into Fabric

OneLake + Governance

Shared storage, discovery, security and control across all workloads

Already in Power BI? Here's why Fabric is your next move.

Three reasons organisations with existing Power BI investments are moving to Fabric now.

Step 1

Power BI becomes part of a broader platform

Fabric brings together reporting, data engineering, warehousing and storage in one environment — instead of separate services stitched together. Your existing Power BI content sits inside that broader platform without needing a rebuild.

Step 2

Fresher data, less duplication, less infrastructure

Fabric gives your Power BI reports access to data managed directly in OneLake — reducing duplication, improving freshness, and removing the need to manage separate storage and pipeline infrastructure.

Step 3

Governance is easier to build in early

Fabric brings shared storage, lineage and governance capabilities into the platform from the start. Building governance in early avoids the workspace sprawl and security gaps that become expensive to fix later.

a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

Microsoft Fabric is a unified, cloud-based SaaS data platform that brings together data integration, data engineering, data warehousing, real-time analytics, and Power BI into a single product. Power BI is now one workload within Fabric — meaning every Power BI user already has a path into Fabric.

What does a Microsoft Fabric consultant do?
a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

A Microsoft Fabric consultant helps your organisation design, implement, and govern a Fabric platform — from tenant setup and workspace structure, to OneLake configuration, data pipelines, semantic models, and Power BI reporting. At Metis BI, we approach every engagement governance-first.

What types of organisations can benefit from Microsoft Fabric?
a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

Any organisation already using Power BI, or considering a modern data platform, can benefit from Fabric. We work with mid-market organisations, charities, healthcare teams, and enterprises where governance and structured adoption matter. If you have data spread across multiple tools and no single source of truth, Fabric is worth exploring.

How do you approach a Microsoft Fabric project?
a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

We start with a discovery phase to understand your current data estate, objectives, and governance requirements. From there we recommend the right engagement — PoC, Accelerator, Migration, or Governance review — and deliver with clear milestones, open communication, and governance built in from day one.

How do you charge for Microsoft Fabric services?
a close up of a white arrow pointing to the right

Our pricing varies depending on the engagement. We offer fixed-scope engagements for the Accelerator and PoC, and flexible arrangements for governance reviews and migration planning. We will always provide a clear proposal with defined scope and investment before any work begins.
