Azure Synapse & Power BI Data Migration
Project overview
Migrated data from Azure Blob Storage to Azure SQL with a complete Azure Synapse ETL pipeline and Power BI dashboards.
Client information
Viewsoft AS is a Norway-based software and technology consulting firm providing data analytics and business intelligence solutions to European enterprises.
Business challenge
To manage complex cases, our customer uses special technology solutions. Portfolio management is handled through modern, data-driven tools, and when cases go to litigation, these tools help Viewsoft make the whole process faster, more transparent, and harder for assessors to ignore.
Viewsoft needed to migrate unstructured data from Azure Blob Storage to Azure SQL while ensuring zero downtime, data integrity, and dedicated SQL pool analytics.
The second challenge involves an increase in operational risk. With no clear visibility into problem areas, every investment decision was made amid significant uncertainty.
The final challenge was to define a clear roadmap for modernization across all layers (infrastructure, frontend, backend, and database) to guide future improvements.
Technical challenge
One of the main technical challenges was assessing a complex multi-layer system without causing disruption, while also prioritizing findings across architectural, operational, and organizational vulnerabilities. Additionally, it was essential to present findings in an actionable format, rather than simply cataloging historical changes.
Solution delivered
Aridian Technologies conducted a comprehensive engineering & development program to address all challenge areas. We built an end-to-end ETL pipeline using Azure Synapse Analytics, transforming raw storage data into structured SQL tables powering Power BI reports. Each finding was evaluated for severity and complexity, accompanied by actionable recommendations, and mapped into a phased modernization roadmap. This approach provided Viewsoft with a solid foundation for a structured, evidence-based remediation program.
