•    Configuration of large-scale Microsoft fabric platform and integration of data from both on-premises and cloud-based connections and systems used across the city.

From there, required reports will be developed through Power BI and hosted in the Power BI Service.
- The Consultant shall provide Fabric Specialists who have expert knowledge and experience in the Microsoft Fabric and Microsoft Azure environments, and related integrations, in order to deliver real-time instruction and walkthroughs of development activities to the Data Team in a holistic manner.
- The city requires that the fabric specialists provided by the consultant be available for project activities and able to engage directly with the city’s data team during the majority (i.e. at least six (6) hours) of the city’s regular business hours, defined as 8:00 am – 5:00 pm EST, Monday to Friday, excluding city recognized holidays.
