DECIDE

Agree the first Microsoft Fabric outcome before adding more technology or delivery.

Strategy & Enablement helps executive and technical teams choose the use case, define success, understand the current state and leave with an owned 90-day path. It is for unresolved decisions — not an automatic paid stage before work that is already ready to proceed.

Format: Live virtual or on-site by agreement.
Commercial status: Controlled variants and prices subject to scope and current approval.
Marketplace: May be available through an eligible professional-services route; customer approvals still apply.

When this fits

This fits when

Fabric licences or pilot activity exist without an agreed production path.
Leadership cannot align on the use case, value or ownership.
The architecture or migration route is disputed.
Teams need capability and a shared decision model.
A customer needs to compare a bounded Fabric path with an existing platform.

This may not fit when

The use case, sponsor and bounded build scope are already accepted — consider the Fabric Accelerator.
The live issue is shared-capacity accountability with Finance and evidence available — consider the FEA.
The customer needs only a course — use Onyx Academy.

Frequently asked questions

Must we buy Strategy & Enablement before the Fabric Accelerator?

No. The Strategy offer is for unresolved decisions. If the use case, sponsor, evidence and bounded scope are already credible, the Accelerator may be the correct entry point.

Does the fee include implementation?

Only the deliverables stated in the selected variant. Production implementation is separately scoped.

Can the engagement include team training?

Team Enablement includes the stated practical learning. Broader courses or ongoing capability programmes are separate Onyx Academy or private-training engagements.
