The MSBI development company for the Microsoft stack behind your reporting

A focused migration or a consolidation project suits a fixed-scope engagement with an implementation partner — the skill set for SSIS, SSAS and a cloud migration together is specific and doesn't need to be permanent in-house capacity for a one-off project. If your organisation runs a large, actively changing SQL Server BI estate long-term, having engineers who know it well embedded with your team pays off over time. We'll give an honest read during scoping rather than default to either.

The size and tangle of the existing estate drives most of the cost — a handful of well-documented SSIS packages is quick work, while years of accumulated, undocumented packages and duplicated SSAS logic across multiple cubes takes considerably longer to untangle safely. A migration to Azure or Fabric adds its own timeline on top, driven by data volume and how much downtime the business can tolerate. A consolidation of an existing estate typically runs a few weeks to a couple of months; a full migration is usually a few months depending on scope.

We run migrations with a parallel-run period specifically so the new environment is validated against the old before anything on-premise is decommissioned, which minimises the exposure of any single cutover. Access controls, gateway credentials and service accounts are reviewed and hardened as part of the migration rather than carried over unexamined, and data moves through your own Azure tenant rather than any infrastructure outside your control.

If the current on-premise SSIS, SSAS and SSRS estate is small, stable and not under licensing or hardware pressure, migrating for its own sake adds cost and risk without a clear return. We'd rather harden and document what you have — proper logging, gateway configuration, service account hygiene — than push a migration that doesn't earn its keep yet. The right time to move is usually when hardware, licensing or a genuine scale need forces the question.

Alongside it, almost always. The Microsoft BI stack — SSIS for integration, SSAS for shared modelling — typically feeds Power BI rather than replacing it: an SSAS tabular model becomes the governed source that Power BI reports connect to, and SSIS keeps that model's underlying data current. We build MSBI work with that relationship in mind rather than treating it as a separate, competing platform.

Yes, and it's a common starting point. We audit the existing SSIS packages, SSAS models and SSRS reports, document what's there, and give an honest assessment of what to keep, consolidate or retire. Sometimes hardening what exists is the right call; sometimes years of duplicated logic mean consolidating into a single model costs less long-term than continuing to maintain several conflicting ones.
