Programme context
KPMG replatformed the Digital Gateway data warehouse and analytics layer on Microsoft Fabric, consolidating storage, compute, transformation, analytics and governance while continuing to interoperate with parts of the existing technology stack.
Why this matters: This record identifies a named organisation, a source and destination platform, an affected workload and an evidence-bounded operational stage.
Migration timeline
| Date or stage | Milestone | What changed | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platform evolution | Context | Digital Gateway’s data foundation had grown across multiple named technologies. | Source-stated predecessor context |
| Production replatform | Migration milestone | The data warehouse and analytics layer was replatformed on Fabric. | Source-stated migration |
| 24 Mar 2026 | Dated source | Microsoft published the current customer account. | Dated primary evidence |
Workload migration matrix
| Workload | Predecessor | Destination | Status by 24 Jul 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPMG Digital Gateway tax-data engineering, storage, analytics, reporting and governance | Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure SQL, Azure Data Factory, Power BI, Excel, Alteryx and custom integrations | Microsoft Fabric data warehouse and analytics layer | Operational production replatform; wider rollout continues |
Implementation and architecture
- Fabric provides a common storage, compute, transformation and analytics substrate.
- Standardised pipelines and security policies support the global tax-data workload.
- The source explicitly says Fabric interoperates with the existing stack; coexistence is retained as a boundary.
Known unknowns and contradictions
- The exact production cutover date.
- Which predecessor components were retired versus retained.
- Completion timing for the continuing global rollout.
No missing fact is inferred to broaden the source-supported migration claim.
PlatformTrace analysis
The evidence supports an operational replatform of Digital Gateway’s warehouse and analytics layer. It does not support a claim that every named predecessor tool was removed or that the wider rollout is complete.
Performance, cost, uptime and operational outcomes remain attributed source claims unless independently stated otherwise.
