Microsoft Fabric: 4-Week Proof of Concept

A Proof of Concept (PoC) is a structured, time-constrained process that allows teams to rapidly solve complex problems, design innovative solutions, and validate ideas through prototyping and user testing. It allows for thoughtful effort, with tangible outputs, to explore a concept before fully committing to it.

These PoCs yield incredible value using Microsoft Fabric for organisations to help learn, skill-up, and assess the feasibility of its capabilities. It also delivers a capable workload, as the PoC will be based on agreed data sets, analytics workloads, and visualisation outcomes.

Velrada have designed a lean and rapid Proof-of-Concept process to jumpstart your adoption of Microsoft Fabric to ensure it delivers a return on investment to your organisation within weeks. Our Proof of Concept is broken up into 4 key parts. Most of the effort is in part 2.

Part One - Discovery & Planning

• Initial kick-off workshop to provide a comprehensive introduction to Microsoft Fabric.
• Additional 2 workshops to discover requirements, validate designs, and agree on a workload for implementation.
• Onboard Velrada consultants with access to commence implementation.

Part Two - Implementation & Configuration

• Agile implementation of the agreed Microsoft Fabric workload within your tenant.
• Participation in daily standups to get insights into progress as well as learn how we have done it.
• The solution will include OneLake, data ingestion, semantic model, and visualisations.

Part Three - Showcase & Handover

• Perform an end-to-end showcase of the agreed solution in Microsoft Fabric.
• Deep dive into technical elements and postmortem any challenges faced.
• Ensure the client has access to components within the workspace/s.
• Update solution design documentation to as-built.

Part Four - Roadmap

• Discuss opportunities, challenges, and the current data landscape to draft a high-level roadmap on how your organisation can further invest in the value Microsoft Fabric can yield.
• Map out licensing footprint.

This engagement is laser-focused on implementing a Microsoft Fabric workload. We also strongly recommend our Microsoft Fabric Readiness Assessment that can be done before, in parallel, or after this PoC.
