Fabric, from the people running it

Tallinn Data Week satellite event by SparkleSolutions OÜ One morning, one journey: from an old reporting estate to a data platform your AI agents can actually understand. Two Estonian companies share how they moved to Microsoft Fabric, what worked, what didn't, and what it made possible. Then see it live and ask your own questions over lunch. Programme 08:30 Doors open, coffee 09:00 Welcome 09:10 Fabric in 2026: what it's worth, what it costs, what to decide first Pieter Jansen, Managing Partner, Sparkle 09:40 Qlik to Fabric at Äripäev: the method, and where AI actually helped Liis Rush, Head of Data Platform, Äripäev Äripäev has multiple businesses, multiple source systems and multiple versions of every customer, all reported in Qlik. Liis shows how a small part-time team is moving everything to Microsoft Fabric: what to migrate first, how to untangle one customer across many systems, and how to prove the new reports match the old. Then the AI story: why writing down your standards comes before any assistant, where AI sped things up, and where it confidently got it wrong. 10:10 Coffee break 10:30 Nabuminds: from an existing platform to Fabric, and what came next Aaron Lee Amarga, Head of Business Intelligence, Nabuminds Aaron explains why they moved their existing platform to Microsoft Fabric, how a short kickstart turned into a team that runs it themselves, and where dbt fits.
