Data
Fabric
Turn scattered data into trusted insights, with specialists who size and cost the platform before you commit to it. Valto designs, builds and supports Microsoft Fabric platforms for organisations replacing spreadsheet-led reporting, consolidating disconnected systems, moving off Power BI Premium capacity or preparing their data for AI. Our specialists manage every stage, from data strategy and capacity modelling through to platform build, migration, reporting, adoption and ongoing governance.
Trusted by organisations like yours
Create a trusted foundation for data and AI
Most reporting problems are data problems. Many organisations struggle with data spread across multiple systems, offering limited visibility into business performance. The symptom is usually a meeting where two people present different numbers for the same thing, and nobody can say which is right. Underneath that sits a set of spreadsheets, extracts and manual joins that one person maintains and everyone depends on. Before organisations can take advantage of AI, automation and advanced analytics, they need confidence in the quality, security and accessibility of their data. Valto builds that confidence. Our consultants assess your current data landscape, reporting requirements and the condition of the sources involved, then design a Fabric platform sized to what you actually need. We model capacity cost before build, because on a consumption-based platform the architecture decisions and the invoice are the same conversation.
What can Valto deliver?
Our consultants assess your reporting requirements, data sources and existing platform before recommending an approach. Every implementation is scoped around what your organisation needs rather than everything Fabric can do.
Power BI Premium capacity transition
Moving off Power BI Premium capacity onto Fabric. We model the right capacity size for your actual usage, plan the migration, and make sure you are not paying for headroom you never touch.
Spreadsheet-led reporting replacement
Replace the extracts, manual joins and shared workbooks that current reporting depends on with a governed platform where the numbers reconcile.
Data consolidation
Bring information together from finance, CRM, operations and line-of-business systems into a single source teams and reporting can both rely on.
Executive and operational reporting
Design the reporting leadership actually uses, with Power BI models built on trusted, refreshed data rather than on a spreadsheet someone updates on Mondays.
Legacy platform migration
Move from an ageing warehouse, Synapse or a self-built solution onto Fabric, assessing what should be carried forward and what has been superseded.
AI and Copilot readiness
Prepare the data structures, quality and governance that Copilot, agents and advanced analytics depend on. Most AI projects stall here rather than on the AI itself.
Existing Fabric review
Already running Fabric but seeing costs climb or adoption stall? We assess capacity utilisation, workspace structure, model design and governance, and give you a prioritised route forward.
Our Microsoft Fabric services
Understand your opportunities
Through structured discovery workshops, we assess your current data landscape, reporting challenges and AI ambitions to identify where Microsoft Fabric can deliver the greatest value. We also model capacity at this stage. Fabric is billed by capacity rather than per user, and choosing the size and the pausing strategy correctly at the outset is the difference between a platform that pays for itself and one that becomes a line item people question.

COMMON DATA CHALLENGES WE SOLVE
Expertise for the problems behind the reporting
Data platform projects rarely struggle over the technology. They struggle over definitions nobody agreed, sources nobody owns, and capacity nobody modelled. Our consultants surface these during discovery rather than after go-live. We help organisations address:
- The same measure calculated differently in two reports, with no agreed definition
- Reporting that depends on one person's spreadsheet and their availability
- Source systems with inconsistent or incomplete data nobody has assessed
- Capacity sized on a guess, then either throttling or over-provisioned
- Power BI Premium renewal decisions with no model of what Fabric would cost
Turn Fabric capability into business value
Fabric provides the platform. Valto provides the judgement about what to build on it and in what order. Our consultants target the work at the reporting and decisions the business is measured on.
We're one of the UK's few Microsoft partners to hold all Microsoft Solution Partner designation badges, across all Solution Partner designation pathways. For our clients, that means working with specialists who understand the relationship between data, reporting, analytics and AI. Whether you're building a modern data platform, improving reporting or preparing for AI adoption, we help organisations create trusted foundations that support better decision-making and long-term growth.
Why organisations choose Valto
Connected, across Microsoft
A data platform is only useful where decisions get made
Fabric doesn't sit in isolation. A reporting platform earns its place when the numbers reach the people making decisions, in the tools they already work in, without being re-keyed on the way. Valto brings together expertise across Fabric, Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, Dynamics 365, Business Central, Microsoft 365 and Azure. That lets our specialists connect the platform to the systems that produce the data and the places people consume it, and to recognise when the useful work is fixing a source system rather than reporting around it. By aligning your data platform with the applications and processes around it, we help create a foundation that improves decisions today and is ready for AI tomorrow.
