We have data sprawl across three legacy systems and need one platform
A CDO has inherited a stack that includes legacy Synapse pools, ad-hoc Databricks workspaces, and a Power BI tenant with no governance. The board wants one platform for the next five years and a clear path from "many tools" to "one trustworthy substrate".
Trigger — Board sponsorship; consolidation budget approved.
Good outcome — Fabric as the anchor, OneLake unified storage, Purview as the governance plane, Power BI on Fabric capacity.
