Seamless Migration from Power BI P SKUs to Microsoft Fabric F SKUs: 2-Weeks POC
MAQ Software
With the evolution of Microsoft Power BI Premium capacities (P SKUs) into unified Microsoft Fabric F SKUs, organizations must adapt quickly to stay aligned with Microsoft’s modern data platform vision. MAQ Software offers a comprehensive consulting service to help organizations transition from P SKUs to F SKUs with minimal disruption and maximum benefit.
Our experts will assess your current workloads, map capacity usage, evaluate licensing and cost implications, and perform a guided migration with validation and optimization. We ensure your transition is smooth, secure, and future-ready — unlocking the full potential of Microsoft Fabric.
Empower your business with MAQ Software's expertise
By participating in our POC, you will resolve following challenges:
- Understanding licensing and performance implications between P SKUs and F SKUs
- Identifying compatibility and potential configuration gaps
- Downtime or service interruptions during migration
- Capacity sizing and workspace reallocation
- Underutilization of Fabric-native workloads post-migration
Target customers
- Digital transformation & innovation leaders
- BI & Analytics Managers
- Enterprise customers with existing Power BI Premium P1/P2 capacities
- IT Infrastructure Leaders
Agenda:
Week 1: Discovery, Assessment & Planning
- Workload Inventory: Identify all assets using P SKUs — reports, dataflows, datasets, and APIs
- Usage Analytics: Assess capacity utilization patterns, performance issues, and concurrency
- SKU Mapping & Rightsizing: Recommend optimal F SKU(s) based on actual and forecasted usage
- Risk & Dependency Analysis: Identify custom connectors, APIs, or integrations affected by SKU change
- Migration Plan & Timeline: Define workspace migration sequence, testing checkpoints, and fallbacks
Week 2: Assessment & Use Case Prioritization
- Capacity Provisioning: Set up F SKU environment, configure capacity admins and rules
- Workspace Migration: Migrate Power BI Premium workspaces to Fabric capacities
- Post-Migration Validation: Run performance, access, and security validation
- Monitoring Setup: Configure Fabric capacity metrics, alerting, and monitoring in Power BI
- Knowledge Transfer: Train admin/BI teams on managing Fabric SKUs and Fabric-native workloads
- Go-Forward Plan: Roadmap to leverage other Fabric workloads (e.g., Lakehouse, Warehouse, Eventstream)
Deliverables:
By the end of the POC, you will receive:
- Fabric Migration Assessment Report
- SKU Sizing & Licensing Recommendation
