Our Data Factory Expertise

ETL/ELT Pipeline Development

Design and build data pipelines using Data Factory in Fabric and Azure Data Factory. Copy activities, data flows, parameterised pipelines, and 170+ source and sink connectors.

Dataflow Gen2 & Transformations

Build low-code data transformations with Dataflows Gen2 powered by Power Query. Mashup queries, staging to Lakehouse, and reusable transformation logic for self-service data preparation.

Data Orchestration & Automation

Orchestrate complex data workflows with triggers, scheduling, dependency chains, and error handling. Event-driven pipelines, tumbling windows, and integration with Azure Logic Apps and Functions.

ADF to Fabric Migration

Migrate Azure Data Factory pipelines and SSIS packages to Data Factory in Fabric. Assessment, refactoring, testing, and parallel running to ensure a smooth transition to the unified platform.

Azure Data Factory (ADF) is the standalone Azure service for data integration. Data Factory in Fabric is the evolution of ADF built into the Microsoft Fabric platform, with native OneLake integration, Dataflows Gen2, and unified governance. Fabric Data Factory shares the same pipeline concepts but adds Lakehouse destinations, Fabric-native monitoring, and simplified connectivity. We help businesses evaluate and migrate between the two.

ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading it into the destination. ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads raw data first and transforms it in the destination. With Fabric's OneLake and Lakehouse, ELT is often preferred because you can land raw data cheaply and transform it using Spark or SQL. We help you choose the right pattern based on your data volumes, latency requirements, and destination capabilities.

We start with an assessment of your existing ADF pipelines, linked services, datasets, and triggers. We then map each component to its Fabric equivalent, refactor where needed (e.g., switching to OneLake destinations and Dataflows Gen2), and run parallel testing to validate data accuracy. The migration is phased to minimise disruption, with rollback plans at each stage.

Azure Data Factory charges per activity run, data movement, and integration runtime hours. Data Factory in Fabric uses the shared Fabric capacity model (F SKUs). We help you optimise by reducing unnecessary activity runs, right-sizing integration runtimes, using incremental loads instead of full refreshes, and choosing the right platform for your workload profile.
