The problem with traditional BI migration
Most migrations start with manual discovery. Teams spend weeks or months opening reports one by one, reviewing code, documenting data sources, finding calculations and interviewing users to learn which reports matter. With hundreds or thousands of reports, that becomes the bottleneck.
Before rebuilding anything, you need answers to these questions:
- Which reports are still used?
- Which contain critical business logic?
- Where do the calculations come from?
- Which data sources and tables are involved?
- Which reports are duplicates?
- What depends on what?
- What should actually be migrated?
Traditional migration often means
- Manual report inventory
- Spreadsheet-based assessment
- Reviewing reports one at a time
- Manually documenting business logic
- Tracing data sources and dependencies by hand
- Hunting for duplicate reports
- Guessing migration complexity
- Recreating calculations from scratch
- Uncertain effort, higher cost, longer timelines
KASH MAP™: your BI environment, mapped before you migrate
KASH MAP™ (Migration Accelerator Platform) analyzes your existing BI inventory and builds a migration-ready view of your environment, so decisions rest on evidence instead of assumptions.

Modernize WebFOCUS reporting with Microsoft Power BI
Many organizations have years of business logic embedded in WebFOCUS reports. The challenge isn’t recreating them in Power BI; it’s understanding the logic, data relationships, calculations and dependencies first. KASH MAP speeds up WebFOCUS discovery by analyzing the environment and building a structured inventory of reports and their components.
How KASH Tech helps
- WebFOCUS report inventory
- FOCUS procedure analysis
- Data source and table discovery
- Calculation and business-rule identification
- Report complexity classification
- Dependency analysis
- Migration wave planning
- Power BI semantic model design
- Power BI report redevelopment
- Data validation and reconciliation
- UAT and deployment
Why WebFOCUS to Power BI?
Power BI offers interactive dashboards, self-service analytics, Microsoft ecosystem integration and a scalable foundation for enterprise BI. The goal isn’t to copy WebFOCUS reports; it’s to modernize how your organization uses analytics.
Modernize Cognos reporting with Power BI
Cognos environments tend to hold years of accumulated reports, packages, queries, calculations and business logic. Instead of treating every report as its own development task, we take an assessment-first approach.
Discover
Understand the existing Cognos reporting environment.
Analyze
Identify reports, queries, packages, calculations, data sources and dependencies.
Rationalize
Find redundant and low-value reporting assets.
Prioritize
Decide what to migrate, redesign, consolidate or retire.
Modernize
Build Power BI semantic models, dashboards and reports around current analytics needs.
A Cognos migration shouldn’t be “lift and rebuild.” It’s a chance to simplify, consolidate and modernize.
Preserve your business logic while moving to IBM Cognos
For organizations standardizing on IBM Cognos, migrating from WebFOCUS requires a detailed understanding of existing reporting logic and data dependencies. KASH MAP assesses your WebFOCUS environment before migration and identifies:
- Reports and reporting applications
- Data sources and tables
- Calculations and expressions
- Filters and prompts
- Report dependencies
- Similar and duplicate reports
- Migration complexity
- Business-critical reporting assets
That information feeds a structured WebFOCUS to Cognos roadmap: a migration based on evidence instead of assumptions.
Consolidate and modernize Tableau analytics with Power BI
Organizations may standardize on Power BI because of broader Microsoft adoption, data platform strategy, licensing, governance or a desire to consolidate platforms. But migrating Tableau dashboards is more than recreating visuals. The value is in the data model, calculations, filters, business rules and user requirements behind them.
- Tableau workbook inventory
- Dashboard and report analysis
- Data source identification
- Calculated field analysis
- Filters and parameters
- Dependencies and dashboard complexity
- Usage and rationalization
- Power BI semantic model design
- Power BI report redevelopment
- Validation and reconciliation
A Tableau to Power BI move can also establish common governance and a standardized enterprise analytics environment.
Transform traditional SSRS reporting into modern analytics
SQL Server Reporting Services is widely used for operational, pixel-perfect reporting. Many organizations now want interactive analytics, self-service, advanced visualization and better decision support. We evaluate your SSRS portfolio and the best path to Pyramid Analytics, identifying:
- SSRS reports (RDL)
- SQL queries and stored procedures
- Data sources
- Parameters and expressions
- Report dependencies
- Usage and business importance
- Consolidation opportunities
The aim isn’t to reproduce every SSRS report exactly. We help you decide what stays operational, what becomes interactive analytics, what can be consolidated, what can be retired and what should be redesigned for modern users.
Move WebFOCUS reporting to Pyramid Analytics
Pyramid Analytics brings self-service analysis, governed data modeling and decision-intelligence capabilities to teams that have outgrown static WebFOCUS reporting. The same rule applies: understand what you have before you rebuild it.
- WebFOCUS report and FOCUS procedure inventory
- Data source, table and field discovery
- Calculation, filter and prompt extraction
- Duplicate and unused report identification
- Complexity classification and migration waves
- Pyramid data model design
- Dashboard and report redevelopment
- Reconciliation, UAT and deployment
Migrate Tableau dashboards to Pyramid Analytics
Moving from Tableau to Pyramid Analytics means translating calculated fields, parameters, filters and data models, not just redrawing charts. KASH MAP documents what each workbook contains so the rebuild starts from facts.
- Tableau workbook and data source inventory
- Calculated field and parameter analysis
- Dashboard complexity and usage review
- Rationalization of overlapping dashboards
- Pyramid semantic model design
- Dashboard redevelopment
- Validation, reconciliation and deployment
More than migration: BI rationalization
Don’t migrate everything just because it exists. Most environments contain multiple reports showing the same information, reports nobody uses, conflicting versions of the same KPI, reports built for temporary needs, duplicate data models, overlapping dashboards and outdated calculations. KASH MAP surfaces these before development begins.
Without analysis
1,000 reports become 1,000 new reports.
With KASH MAP
1,000 existing reports: analyze, rationalize, consolidate, modernize. Fewer, better reports.

BI platform migration FAQs
What is BI platform migration?
BI platform migration is moving an organization’s business intelligence environment (data connections, semantic layers, security models, reports and dashboards) from a legacy platform such as WebFOCUS, Cognos, SSRS or Tableau to a modern platform such as Microsoft Power BI or Pyramid Analytics.
How do you migrate WebFOCUS to Power BI?
We use KASH MAP to analyze the WebFOCUS environment: reports, FOCUS procedures, data sources, calculations and dependencies. That analysis drives the Power BI semantic model design, report redevelopment and data reconciliation, with automation applied where it reduces manual effort.
Why rationalize BI reports before migrating?
Rationalizing the inventory means you don’t spend time and money migrating duplicate, obsolete or unused reports. Usage and similarity analysis shows what to migrate, consolidate, redesign or retire, which reduces effort and simplifies future maintenance.
Can SSRS reports be migrated to Power BI or Pyramid Analytics?
Yes. Depending on whether users need pixel-perfect paginated output or interactive exploration, SSRS reports can be rebuilt as paginated reports or as interactive dashboards in Power BI or Pyramid Analytics.
Can you migrate from Cognos or Tableau to Power BI?
Yes. We assess packages, queries, workbooks, calculations and data sources first, then rebuild semantic models, dashboards and reports in Power BI, with validation against your legacy numbers.
Which target platform should we choose?
That depends on your data platform, licensing, governance and user needs. KASH Tech is platform-agnostic and can help you compare options using the complexity and effort data from a KASH MAP assessment.
