COMMON CHALLENGES

Overcome These Common Migration Challenges

 

Understanding of current BI applications complexity & usage

  • Limited knowledge of Power BI capabilities
  • Assessing current BI tool to Power BI migration compatibility
  • Lack of standard Power BI Report development processes
  • User adoption and self-service enablement

 

TWO STEP PROCESS

Step 1: Assessment

Gain a clear understanding of BI application & develop a plan for migration.

 

U

Discover

The Assessment step of the SwiftMigrate process begins with a DISCOVERY of the BI applications to be migrated using Decision Inc.’s SwiftMigrate Analyzer tool.
