Power BI Premium to Fabric Transition: More than a migration

Microsoft officially retired Power BI Premium per-capacity (P SKUs) licenses as of January 2025, requiring organizations to transition to Microsoft Fabric.

This isn’t just a license change — it involves:

Deploying the right Fabric SKU
Migrating and aligning workloads
Testing performance
Revisiting governance and reporting

It’s also a chance to rethink scalability, performance, and governance across your data landscape.

How will Fabric make your Power BI experience better?

Microsoft Fabric introduces powerful new capabilities that will significantly enhance your Power BI experience, making data analytics faster, more collaborative, and intuitive. Here are a few standout features
