Unified Analytics Platform
We implement and optimise Microsoft Fabric and Azure Data Factory to unify data engineering, warehousing, real-time analytics, and Power BI in a single, governed SaaS platform.
OneLake · Real-Time Intelligence · Power BI
Microsoft Fabric is Microsoft's bet on unification: data engineering, warehousing, real-time analytics, data science and Power BI in one SaaS platform, working from one copy of data in OneLake. For organisations tired of stitching separate services together and paying for the joins, the promise is genuine. Realising it still takes deliberate design around capacity, workspaces, domains and governance, which is where we come in.
Synapx is one of roughly 30 partners worldwide holding all three Fabric Featured designations: Fabric Featured Partner, Fabric Databases Featured Partner and Real-Time Intelligence Featured Partner. That depth is earned in delivery, from greenfield lakehouse builds to Synapse migrations and long-running capacity optimisation.
We have also delivered Microsoft Fabric Analyst in a Day workshops to over 300 professionals across diverse industries as an accredited Microsoft delivery partner, equipping them with hands-on experience of the platform. Teaching Fabric every month keeps our own standards honest.
The reference story is Mount Anvil: a Power BI estate migrated onto a Fabric lakehouse with medallion architecture, report delivery times down 40% within three months, data accuracy above 95%, and platform costs 80% below the original baseline thanks to our Xscale accelerator.
Costs deserve their own sentence, because Fabric capacity pricing rewards good engineering and punishes neglect. Capacity sizing, workload scheduling and continuous utilisation monitoring are built into every implementation we deliver, not sold separately as an afterthought. Finance gets a monthly view of what the platform costs and why, in language that does not require a data engineer to translate.
A triple-designation Microsoft Fabric partner
We deploy and configure Microsoft Fabric as your unified analytics platform, connecting data engineering, warehousing, real-time analytics, and Power BI in a single, integrated SaaS experience.
We build orchestrated data pipelines using Fabric Data Factory for ELT/ETL transformations across lakehouses and warehouses, with monitoring, error handling, and dependency management for reliability.
We use OneLake for unified, multi-tenant cloud storage and deploy Fabric lakehouses that combine open format storage with SQL and Spark computing for flexible analytics workloads.
We implement real-time streaming, transaction processing, and customer insights analytics using KQL Database (Kusto) and Fabric event streams for live, actionable insights.
We monitor and optimise Fabric capacity utilisation to balance performance and cost across your workspaces, implementing best practices for autoscaling and resource allocation.

Build Approach
Before Fabric, a serious Microsoft analytics estate meant wiring together Azure Data Factory, Synapse, a lake and Power BI Premium, then maintaining the joins. That option still exists, so the comparison is worth making honestly.
We have built estates both ways, and still run several of the self-assembled kind for clients whose platforms predate Fabric. This is the pattern we see across them.
| Criteria | Microsoft Fabric | Self-assembled stack (ADF + Synapse + Power BI) |
|---|---|---|
| What you manage | One SaaS platform, one capacity, one governance model | Separate services, each with its own configuration, security and billing |
| Integration effort | Built in: OneLake, Direct Lake and shared workspaces | Yours to build and maintain between every component |
| Skills needed | One platform for analysts and engineers to learn together | Specialists per service, plus the glue expertise between them |
| Cost visibility | Pooled capacity across every workload, one line to watch | Per-service billing that is hard to see in one place |
| Platform evolution | Microsoft ships improvements to the whole platform continuously | You schedule and test every service change yourself |
| When it wins | Most analytics estates starting now, or consolidating sprawl | Edge cases with hard isolation needs between services |
For most organisations starting today, assembling the stack by hand means choosing extra plumbing for no extra value. The nuance is existing estates: where your ADF and Synapse investment is recent and healthy, we often mirror it into OneLake and migrate in phases rather than rip anything out. That judgement, made workload by workload during the readiness assessment, is the actual consulting, and it is why our Fabric migrations tend to be undramatic.

"Not an external supplier, an extension of our team."
"Working with Synapx has been transformative for Mount Anvil. They didn't feel like an external supplier; they became an extension of our team. Their technical expertise in implementing Microsoft Fabric solved our immediate challenges and positioned us for future growth, including AI and machine learning. What truly set Synapx apart was their transparency, commitment, and cost-optimisation through Xscale, making Fabric financially sustainable."
Head of Technology Applications, Mount Anvil
Microsoft Fabric is a unified SaaS analytics platform that brings together data engineering, data warehousing, data science, real-time intelligence, Power BI, and Data Activator on a single lake-centric foundation (OneLake). It replaces the need to stitch together separate Azure data services.
Yes. Synapx is a Fabric Featured Partner, Fabric Databases Featured Partner, and Real-Time Intelligence Featured Partner – one of approximately 30 Microsoft partners globally holding all three Fabric designations.
We start with a readiness assessment covering workloads, data estate, and licensing. We then deliver a reference Lakehouse or Warehouse in 4–8 weeks using our Fabric accelerator, establish governance (Purview, domains, workspaces), migrate or ingest source data, and build Power BI semantic models on top.
Often yes – but not always. We run a Fabric vs Databricks vs Synapse comparison as part of every assessment. Fabric is strongest where clients want consolidated licensing, self-service Power BI integration, and reduced operational overhead. We are comfortable running Fabric alongside Databricks where appropriate.
We monitor Fabric capacity units, implement autoscale and pause policies where supported, tune Spark and SQL workloads, and right-size capacities per workspace. Our Synapx-as-a-Service managed offering includes ongoing Fabric cost optimisation.
From a readiness assessment to a production lakehouse with costs under control, our triple-designation Fabric team will map the route, workload by workload.
