Microsoft Fabric Consulting
We assess your data estate and analytics requirements, then define your Fabric strategy, target architecture and phased adoption roadmap.
Microsoft Fabric
Unify fragmented data, simplify analytics and build a governed data foundation with Microsoft Fabric. NCS London helps you connect data sources, modernise analytics and turn business data into actionable insight.
Overview
Bring your data, analytics and AI together
Your data may be spread across databases, applications, spreadsheets, cloud platforms and legacy systems. When these sources remain disconnected, your teams spend more time finding, preparing and validating data than using it to make decisions.
Microsoft Fabric Services can help you bring your data, analytics and AI capabilities together within a unified cloud-based data analytics platform.
NCS London helps UK businesses assess, design, implement and optimise Microsoft Fabric environments that connect data sources, simplify analytics and create a stronger foundation for AI-powered decision-making.
Common Challenges
Is fragmented data holding your business back?
More data doesn't automatically mean better insights. When information is spread across disconnected systems, reporting becomes harder, decisions slow down and data management grows more complex. Your organisation may be facing challenges such as:
Disconnected data sources
Business data is scattered across multiple applications, platforms and environments.
Manual reporting and data preparation
Teams spend valuable time collecting, cleaning and consolidating data.
Inconsistent business information
Different systems produce conflicting figures, reports and performance metrics.
Limited business visibility
Siloed data makes it difficult to gain a complete view of operations and performance.
Growing data complexity
Increasing data volumes and analytical demands put pressure on existing systems.
Disconnected cloud and on-premises environments
Integrating data across different environments creates additional complexity.
Rising data and analytics costs
Maintaining multiple platforms and tools increases operational overhead.
Data governance and security gaps
Inconsistent access controls, data quality and governance practices undermine trust.
Microsoft Fabric brings data integration, engineering, warehousing, analytics, real-time intelligence and Power BI together in a unified platform.
What We Offer
Microsoft Fabric Services for Modern Data and Analytics
Whether you are evaluating Fabric, migrating an existing analytics environment or looking to get more value from your current platform, our services can support your journey.
Microsoft Fabric Implementation
We design, build and configure your Fabric environment, including ingestion, transformation, storage, reporting, governance and workspace setup.
Microsoft Fabric Data Engineering
We build and maintain the pipelines and transformation workflows that bring cloud, on-premises and multicloud sources into Fabric.
Microsoft Fabric Analytics
We develop semantic models, dashboards and Power BI reports on top of your Fabric data, working with your teams on metrics and requirements.
Microsoft Fabric Migration
We assess dependencies, plan the sequence and migrate suitable workloads from existing warehouses and analytics platforms into Fabric.
Microsoft Fabric Optimisation
We review your live Fabric environment and tune workloads, data architecture, governance settings and capacity usage.
Governance
Build a Trusted, Governed Data Foundation with Microsoft Fabric
We work with your teams to define who owns each data domain, what quality standards apply, and who should have access to what across your Fabric environment.
Using Microsoft Purview and the OneLake Catalog, we put security, lineage and discovery practices in place, document them, and leave you with a governance model your teams can maintain as the platform grows.
Business Outcomes
What Microsoft Fabric changes for the business
The value of Fabric is best measured by what changes day to day: less time preparing and reconciling data, clearer accountability for it, and a platform that supports decisions, compliance and future AI work without starting again.
Fewer tools to manage
Consolidating data stores, pipelines and reporting onto one platform reduces licensing overhead and the effort spent maintaining integrations.
One version of the truth
Finance, operations and sales work from the same figures, so fewer hours are lost reconciling conflicting reports before a decision can be made.
Answers in the same cycle
Reports refresh on schedule rather than when someone finds time to compile them, so performance is reviewed and acted on within the month.
Fewer audit surprises
Access rules, lineage and audit trails are documented and applied consistently, which makes regulatory reviews and internal audits less disruptive.
Ready for AI when you are
Clean, governed data in one place means AI and advanced analytics pilots can begin without a separate data preparation project first.
Grow without rebuilding
New departments, sites or data sources are added to the existing platform instead of starting another project from scratch.
