How Lanter’s Microsoft Fabric Consulting Services Keep Your Business Moving
The Right Microsoft Fabric Approach for Your Business
Every organisation is at a different stage with its reporting, analytics and data maturity. We help businesses determine whether Microsoft Fabric is the right fit, where it delivers the most value and how it should integrate with existing Microsoft 365, Power BI and Azure environments.
Assess Your Data Sources and Reporting Needs Before You Start
Successful Microsoft Fabric implementations start with understanding how your business currently handles reporting and data. We assess your reporting requirements, operational systems, data quality and existing Power BI environment before recommending an appropriate roadmap or architecture approach.
Build a OneLake Foundation Your Whole Business Can Trust
Microsoft Fabric is designed to bring data into a single, connected environment. We help businesses design structured, scalable and well-governed data foundations using OneLake. This enables more consistent reporting, analytics and operational visibility across the organisation.
Implement Fabric Without Disrupting Your Existing Reporting
Moving to Microsoft Fabric should not disrupt day-to-day reporting. We take a staged approach to implementation, helping businesses introduce Fabric alongside existing reporting systems while minimising disruption during rollout.
Govern, Secure and Permission Your Data the Right Way From Day One
Strong governance is critical in any modern data platform. We help businesses implement identity, access controls and data permissions that align with their wider Microsoft environment. This helps to improve visibility, security and control over business data.
Size Capacity and Control Costs Long After Go-Live
Microsoft Fabric licensing and capacity management can become difficult to manage without proper oversight. We help businesses understand capacity requirements, monitor usage and optimise licensing decisions over time, helping maintain performance without unnecessary spend.

How do you decide whether Microsoft Fabric is the right fit for our business?
We assess your current reporting environment, data maturity, operational requirements and Microsoft ecosystem before recommending whether Fabric is the right next step.
Do you start with a data and reporting readiness assessment?
Yes. We review your existing data sources, reporting processes, Power BI environment and operational systems before making recommendations.
How do you minimise disruption while you implement Fabric?
We use staged implementation approaches that allow businesses to continue operating existing reporting environments while Fabric workloads are introduced progressively.
Is data governance and access control built into your implementation?
