Tableau to Power BI Migration: How Loom Automates the Heavy Lifting

Your organization pays more every year for a reporting tool that's been around forever, and the team still can't agree which report to base the decision on. Replacing the stack usually sounds like a year-long project and a six-figure invoice. This episode is about why that calculation just changed. Marcin Kubica talks with Estera Kot, CTO of Clouds on Mars, about what actually drives Tableau → Power BI migrations in 2026, and how automation rewrites the economics of projects that used to mean hundreds of manual hours. They walk through LOOM -  the Clouds on Mars product built specifically for this scenario, and show the full flow live: upload a Tableau workbook, get a complexity analysis, generate a Power BI project (PBIX + semantic model in TMDL), and optionally deploy data straight into a Fabric Lakehouse. What you'll get from this conversation: when manual migration still makes sense and where the automation threshold really sits (spoiler: it's lower than most teams think) how LOOM combines deterministic heuristics with an optional AI layer and what that means for data privacy, on-prem deployments and Azure OpenAI / Anthropic / local Ollama models why "lift and shift" is rarely the right end state, and where consultants still add real value after the conversion how unification of the BI estate around Power BI and Fabric unlocks governance, reuse and faster decisions A practical conversation for CIOs, CDOs, data platform leads and BI architects evaluating Tableau exit strategies or planning a broader analytics consolidation. ▶️ Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8OqMaV0ZiQ  💬 Connect with Estera & Marcin on LinkedIn - questions and use cases welcome. Estera: https://www.linkedin.com/in/esterakot/Marcin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcinkubicaquality/#PowerBI #Tableau #MicrosoftFabric #DataAnalytics #BImigration #AI #CloudsOnMars
