Microsoft Funding Webinar

How to Reduce Your Fabric Migration Cost with Microsoft Funding

Every legacy ETL platform on the market now has an expiry date. Informatica was acquired by Salesforce. PowerCenter support windows have already expired. SQL Server 2016 support ended in July 2026. SAP BusinessObjects mainstream maintenance ends this December. Most enterprises are past deciding whether to move off these platforms. What’s left is timing: your calendar, or your vendor’s renewal notice.

This on-demand webinar breaks down the real cost of that move and where Microsoft pays for it.

Vish Nath and Kshitij Mehrotra walked through the four levers that control migration cost: automating the conversion, compressing the dual-run window, consolidating the platform run rate, and offsetting the rest through Microsoft investment. Three of the four sit entirely in your control. The fourth is the only one Microsoft decides, and the session covers exactly how that route works.

The session included a live conversion demo. The team pulled a real Informatica mapping, converted it to a native Fabric pipeline in front of the audience, and reconciled the output row by row against the source.

Key Takeaways from the Webinar:

  • Why the deprecation timelines on Informatica, Alteryx, SAP BO, IBM, and Qlik mean the migration conversation is already overdue
  • How Kanerika’s accelerator automates 70 to 80% of the conversion work across 16 migration paths, cutting migration labor cost by 60 to 70%
  • A live walkthrough of an Informatica mapping converting to a native Fabric pipeline, with row-by-row reconciliation against the source
  • What Fabric actually costs to run: capacity sizing, the 24-hour burst smoothing window, and why Direct Lake queries need zero refresh capacity
  • The two Microsoft funding routes, partner-nominated and Microsoft field-nominated through ECIF, and which one fits your situation
