Many businesses are migrating to Power BI to leverage its powerful analytics capabilities and advanced features. If you’re considering making the switch to Power BI, you could consider exploring Wavicle’s EZConvertBI — a solution that takes the complexity out of the conversion process.

Let’s explore how EZConvertBI can facilitate a hassle-free migration and position your organization for success with Power BI.

What is EZConvertBI for Power BI?

Wavicle’s EZConvertBI simplifies the transition from other business intelligence platforms such as Tableau, MicroStrategy, and Qlik Sense to Power BI. It handles the complex tasks of converting dashboards and reports while ensuring that all key functionalities from the original platform are retained in Power BI.

What is the cost of a Power BI migration with EZConvertBI?

The cost of migrating to Power BI with EZConvertBI depends on what approach best fits your organization’s needs. EZConvertBI itself includes two tools – an analyzer and a converter – which help reduce costs by first identifying unused and duplicate dashboards to optimize the scope of your conversion and then automating the migration process.

Analyzer: The analyzer executes a detailed assessment of your current BI platform, evaluating dashboard complexity, scope, and report rationalization. Your migration costs will depend on the complexity and size of your existing system. Starting with the analyzer helps to validate what needs to be migrated and can be useful for businesses in the early planning stage who need a cost estimate or clear scope before committing to a full migration.
Converter: The converter ensures a smooth migration from your previous BI tool to Power BI, reducing costs by automating dashboard conversion. This is ideal for companies that want to migrate quickly and minimize the risk of errors that often occur during manual migrations.

Will Microsoft Copilot be integrated as part of the migration?

Copilot is built into Power BI as a natively integrated BI assistant, powering generative BI efforts. This can fuel greater accessibility for reports, automated insights, personalized report recommendations, and more for users. You can learn more about the benefits of Copilot in our recent blog.

How long does a Power BI migration take?

The time required for the conversion process depends on the volume of data you want to convert and the complexity of your dashboards and reports. However, EZConvertBI significantly speeds up this process, reducing the time needed by up to 80% compared to manual migration.

What are the advantages of the EZConvertBI solution for Power BI migration?

EZConvertBI ensures a smooth and efficient transition to modern BI platforms while optimizing your environment for maximum performance and cost savings.

With migration speeds up to 80% faster, you can quickly start reaping the benefits of Power BI – whether you converted to generate cost savings, take advantage of gen BI through Copilot, or for another reason. Plus, by reducing the costs of moving to Power BI and providing realistic estimates for time and resources, EZConvertBI ensures a hassle-free, informed migration.

Will my data be secure during the migration?

Rest assured, your data will be protected throughout the migration process. We place a high priority on data security and have established robust protocols to safeguard your information. Our methods align with the highest industry standards to ensure your data’s safety. Wavicle’s team also has experience working with synthetic data as part of BI migrations to further protect sensitive data.

Will my dashboards look the same after the conversion?

While we aim to preserve the original appearance of your dashboards and reports, minor differences may occur due to the varying design capabilities of different BI platforms. Nevertheless, EZConvertBI ensures that the integrity and functionality of your data visualizations remain fully intact.
