The fragmented and reactive development of data solutions has driven companies into a situation where data and analytics environments have grown over the years into complex entities. Solutions have been added as needed, at different times and from different starting points. Different teams and organizations have developed their own solutions, reports, and metrics. In the worst case, work is duplicated, the same data is stored in multiple locations, and different results are obtained from the same calculations.
The end result is often a system that works technically but is difficult to manage from a business perspective, expensive to maintain, and slow to develop. A fragmented data environment is also not optimal for the effective implementation and management of artificial intelligence.
Due to fragmented and difficult-to-manage data and analytics environments, Microsoft Fabric is particularly relevant right now. It allows companies to consolidate their data onto a single platform for management and processing. Microsoft Fabric’s innovative solutions aim to simplify the complex data input mechanisms for the information platform so that development can focus more quickly on analytics, reporting, and artificial intelligence solutions.
Modern information platform
Microsoft Fabric is a unified platform where different components support each other and operate on the same basic structure. It enables AI-assisted development with Copilot and includes tools for data collection, processing, analysis, and visualization, including centralized storage.
Microsoft Fabric meets the needs of today’s data work. The same tools and data are available to everyone according to their roles and responsibilities, eliminating duplication of work and reducing dependence on individual solutions or teams. Data flows smoothly within the same platform, enabling faster decision-making and the use of artificial intelligence as part of everyday work.
The service model based on Microsoft Fabric capacity brings the company’s data and development under a single pricing structure. This improves cost predictability and reduces maintenance and development work. The capacity model brings flexibility and cost efficiency to business operations, as computing power is shared and used as needed. You don’t pay for separate environments or continuously running capacity; instead, the same capacity serves the entire organization’s data utilization. This ensures that resources are used where they generate the most business value.
DB Pro Services is an experienced expert organization
With DB Pro Services and Microsoft Fabric, you can build a modern and efficient data platform for analytics and artificial intelligence. We help you transition step by step from old, separate solutions—such as Microsoft Synapse and Analysis Services environments—to a unified Microsoft Fabric environment.
Microsoft Fabric can also help you achieve concrete cost savings. For example, in a Synapse Dedicated Pool environment, costs can typically range from a few thousand euros to tens of thousands of euros per month, even if usage is only occasional. A similar package with Fabric Warehouse can cost hundreds or a few thousand euros per month, because capacity is only used when the business actually needs it. In addition, users have access to all the tools included in the capacity.
However, Microsoft Fabric alone cannot solve data quality challenges or data platform problems. It all starts with conscious and well-planned change that enables the improvement of data quality and the introduction of new operating models. Value is only created when the platform is implemented in a targeted manner and as part of broader development.
Cooperation plays a key role
We start by understanding the current state of your business and data: what information is produced, how and where it is used, and what challenges your current solutions have caused. Based on this, we define a comprehensive solution that supports the company and build a sustainable foundation.

The most important thing is that the solution supports future working methods and opportunities—especially the use of artificial intelligence. Our service also includes training your organization in the use of Microsoft Fabric so that you can continue to develop independently in collaboration with us.
We leverage our extensive experience in designing, building, and managing large and demanding information platforms in various environments. We have seen concrete cost benefits when performance, capacity utilization, and licensing have been examined as a whole and optimized based on business needs. We provide comprehensive support for the entire company’s information architecture and the controlled introduction of new tools to ensure that the change generates value in both the short and long term.
