Power BI and Tableau to Databricks or Snowflake, every number proven.
Why pay for BI twice? Move your dashboards onto the data platform you already pay for, and retire the licenses nobody needs. The assessment shows what you would save before you commit.
AI-driven: your business logic and the dashboards that fit, moved onto the governed platform

What the converter misses, and a parity test for every measure: old against new
- Consultants reviewEverything Claude writes
- Owners agree the triageMove, rebuild, keep or retire
- Owners sign each reportOn the parity results. Silence is not sign-off

- Wave releasesEach report signed off, the old one switched off
- HandoverYour team runs the last wave
You moved your data. Your numbers stayed behind.
Your data sits on Databricks or Snowflake, governed. The definitions of revenue, margin and active customer still live inside Power BI and Tableau reports. So you pay for both, and nobody dares switch an old report off.
Every migrated report proven, signed and switched off
What you have, what moves, what you would save, and in what order. Owners confirm every decision.
Each metric defined once on your platform, with a named owner. Access rules are rebuilt there once.
Each wave is tested number by number, signed off by its owners and put live, and the old reports are switched off on the agreed date.
A runbook, and a final wave your own team leads, so they can move the rest without us.
Nothing is switched off until its owner signs
Assess, three weeks
We read every report and how often it is used. Your report owners confirm what moves, what stays and what is retired.
Translate
The platform’s own converter does the first pass. Claude fills in what it misses, and our developers review all of it.
Prove
Every number in every report gets a test, old against new. Claude drafts the tests; our developers check them and write any it cannot. Each number matches to the cent, or its owner accepts the difference in writing.
Sign
Each report’s business owner signs it off. Silence is not sign-off: an unsigned report leaves the wave.
Switch off
The old report goes off on the date agreed in the assessment. Retiring the licenses is your call; we show which can go.

Halvane Industries (fictional) · business case
Savings are counted only where whole groups leave. A person's license goes only if every report they used in the usage window moves or is retired; anyone who still uses a kept report keeps it.
| License or capacity | Active users | Can leave | Saving a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power BI Pro | 40 | 4 | $56 |
| Tableau Viewer (fictional price) | 40 | 29 | $435 |
| Supply Chain capacity (fictional)retirable | $4,000 | ||
| Finance capacity (fictional)stays: Regulatory Filing Pack, Revenue Bridge | $0 | ||
| Saving a month | $4,491 | ||
| Saving a year | $53,892 | ||
12 reports retired instead of migrated: no views in the usage window, or a near-copy of a report that stays. Each needs its owner’s agreement.

Example only. Halvane Industries is a fictional company, and every report, user and figure here is fictional data. These show the format of what you receive, not a client result.
Fixed fees. The assessment sets the scope.
Start here
Migration assessment · fixed · three weeks
- Every report in scope counted and triaged
- A business case your finance lead reviews
- A wave plan with owners and switch-off dates
- Half, $7,900, credited to your first wave if you go ahead
Fixed, provided we have admin access in week one and 90 days of report usage history.
Then, wave by wave
Per wave · fixed · six weeks
- Sized in points from each report’s complexity, not by count. A full wave of typical reports holds 35 to 40 dashboards; complex reports, and the set-up and handover in the first and last waves, take more of it.
- Every report tested and signed off; every report that moves has its old version switched off
- The assessment decides how many waves you need
In the fictional Halvane Industries example, 46 reports moved and 5 kept reports were repointed to the platform, across three waves: $232,900 in total, after the credit.
Your data must already be on Databricks or Snowflake. Data Meaning is a Snowflake Select Services Partner and a Databricks partner.
What leaders ask us first
Databricks or Snowflake already gives us a converter. We’ll do it ourselves.
Our Power BI is bundled in Microsoft 365 E5. Where’s the saving?
Is our data safe with Claude?
Why not Sigma?
What if the numbers don’t match?
The built-in dashboards aren’t as good as Power BI.
We’re on Snowflake. Will Power BI read the new definitions?

Three weeks, $15,800 fixed, and half of it is credited to your first wave if you go ahead.
