LevelShift Transformed Reporting into a Strategic Advantage for a Real Estate Leader

Key challenges included:

• Resource constraints: The team was fully occupied with the ongoing data modernization project, leaving no capacity to handle SQL report conversions.
• Critical report dependency: Business-critical SQL reports needed to be converted to operate on the new Fabric environment to maintain continuity.
• Risk to timelines: Limited technical bandwidth threatened the on-time delivery of property investment reports.
• Delayed insights: Any delay in report migration could impact access to vital business intelligence and hinder revenue-related decisions.

• Overcoming team capacity limits: Supported the Build team by taking ownership of report migration tasks, ensuring business continuity without overloading internal resources.
• Keeping critical reports running: Verified every SQL report by comparing outputs from the old SSRS system with the new Fabric setup to ensure nothing broke in the transition.
• Meeting project timelines: Used a clear data mapping approach between the old and new databases to speed up the conversion process and avoid rework.
• Ensuring accurate business insights: Matched the new Fabric outputs with original business reports to confirm that all data and calculations remained consistent.
• Preparing for future growth: Moved SQL scripts, tables, and variables to the Fabric semantic model, creating a flexible system ready for future reporting needs.SQL-to-Fabric Migration Leadership: LevelShift supported the broader Data Modernization program by leading the SQL-to-Fabric report migration, keeping everything aligned with the new Fabric Semantic Model.
