FAQ
Common questions
Do we need to move everything into Fabric?+
No. The initial scope should start with the data products and reports creating the most operational drag. The architecture can grow without a big-bang migration.
Can you work with an existing Power BI environment?+
Yes. Fabric is often the next step for a Power BI team whose data refreshes and logic have become too distributed to manage in reports alone.
