Microsoft Fabric Accelerator

Get your Microsoft Fabric investment delivering value in 10 weeks.

Our Microsoft Fabric Accelerator is a focused programme that helps you get started with Fabric or get more from an investment that’s stalled or isn’t delivering as expected. In 10 weeks, we’ll help you deliver a working business use case, with the right foundations for what comes next.

You have the tool, we have the tactics

If you know how to unlock its full potential, Microsoft Fabric is an incredible data tool. Unfortunately, users are busy and pressed to get results, leaving little time to tinker with and try out the platform to see what works. As a result, this tool (and the money the organisation has spent on it) goes to waste.

We’ve created our 10-week Microsoft Fabric Accelerator programme to empower you to use the tool to your ultimate advantage and reveal the full extent of what you can achieve.

Arrange your Fabric Accelerator

Scope shapes the timeline. Our Fabric Accelerator runs ten weeks from first mapping to embedded business-as-usual.

Define (weeks 1-2)

We map your estate, gather your requirements, and design the solution.

Deploy (weeks 3-4)

We stand up both the Fabric environment and security model.

Activate (weeks 5-7)

The first data sources are onboarded and we land your first Lighthouse use case.

Scale (weeks 8-9)

Priority sources and use cases are added to compound the value.

Transition (week 10)

We hand over to business as usual, with the operating model embedded.

We can move a tightly-focused Lighthouse Project quickly, depending on what’s in scope.

The most common Fabric mistake is standing up the platform, but not knowing where to go from there.

Choosing a Lighthouse use case that has obvious value makes it real enough to survive the demo.

We make sure the right controls, security and governance are in place from the outset, so you can build on your Fabric investment without creating problems for later.

Each project builds on the last, so the Accelerator is the start of a programme, not a one-off.

The most common Fabric mistake is standing up workspaces and then looking for something to do with them.

Fabric makes governance easy to skip because the platform makes it easy to start, but implementing it from the start avoids pain down the line.
