How to Integrate Oracle Fusion with Microsoft Fabric for Data Transformation?

1 min read

Nov 20, 2024

Seeking the best data strategy to drive digital transformation within your Oracle Fusion infrastructure? Microsoft Fabric offers a powerful alternative to elevate your ecosystem. With Oracle Fusion’s suite of cloud-based applications for enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), and more, businesses can get an end-to-end analytics platform with Microsoft Fabric. This combination also offers options for data engineering, data warehousing, and business intelligence.

Integrating Oracle Fusion with Microsoft Fabric can significantly enhance data transformation workflows, enabling seamless data movement and analysis across platforms. If a business can bridge the gap between ERP and analytics platforms, it can get meaningful insights and improve decision-making.

Key Steps to Integrate Oracle Fusion With Microsoft Fabric
Bizmetric can help organizations streamline data integration and optimize business operations by connecting Oracle Fusion’s robust ERP capabilities with the powerful analytics and transformation tools in Microsoft Fabric. Here are the key steps for this process:

Establish a Connection Between Oracle Fusion and Microsoft Fabric
First of all, Bizmetric experts use Oracle Fusion Cloud Services’ data connectors to integrate with Microsoft Fabric. Microsoft Fabric supports connectors for various data sources, including Oracle databases, through tools like Power BI, Azure Data Factory, or Synapse Analytics.

Then, our team uses Oracle Fusion’s APIs to extract data and send it to Microsoft Fabric using HTTP-based connections or middleware like Azure Logic Apps or Power Automate.
Extract Data from Oracle Fusion
It is important to synchronize data from all Oracle applications. In this regard, our team utilizes Oracle Integration Cloud to sync Oracle Fusion data with Microsoft Fabric.

Moreover, if the data is stored in Oracle databases, our experts use SQL queries to extract the data, which can then be moved into Microsoft Fabric via APIs or batch processes.
Data Transformation in Microsoft Fabric
Once the data is in Microsoft Fabric, we use Power Query or Dataflows to transform and shape the data. Whether you want to cleanse, aggregate, and format the data, Bizmetric can help it with all business requirements.

Other than this, if data requires complex transformation or processing, we leverage Azure Synapse Analytics within Microsoft Fabric to run data transformation pipelines.
Load Transformed Data into Microsoft Fabric
After that, we use tools from Azure Data Factory to orchestrate data movement and transformation. It integrates data from Oracle Fusion and loads it into Microsoft Fabric. Use Data Factory pipelines to automate the extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) processes.

If a business requires detailed reporting and visualization, our team can also integrate transformed data directly into Power BI within Microsoft Fabric.

Key Considerations for Integrating Oracle Fusion with Microsoft Fabric
Oracle Fusion integration with Microsoft Fabric streamlines the process of extracting, transforming, and visualizing data. Here are a few key things to keep in mind when integrating Oracle Fusion with Microsoft Fabric for data transformation:

Data Compatibility

  • Ensure data formats and schema in Oracle Fusion align with what Microsoft Fabric supports.
  • Handle any data type conversions and null values carefully to avoid issues in transformation or reporting.

Data Security and Compliance

  • Check compliance requirements, especially if handling sensitive data. Use Azure Active Directory for secure access management.
  • Use encryption during data transfer and storage to maintain data confidentiality.

Performance Optimization

  • Optimize data extraction queries from Oracle Fusion to prevent slowdowns in performance, especially if handling large datasets.
  • Consider scheduling off-peak data transfers to minimize the impact on system performance.

Error Handling and Monitoring

  • Implement error-handling mechanisms to manage failures in data extraction or transformation.
  • Use Azure Monitor and Azure Logic Apps for alerts and monitoring, so issues can be identified and resolved quickly.

Data Transformation Complexity

  • Decide if transformations are simpler and can be done in Power Query, or if they require advanced processing in Azure Synapse Analytics.
  • Plan a modular approach to transformations to make the process scalable and easier to update over time.

Frequency and Timing of Data Sync

  • Determine how often data needs to be synced—real-time, hourly, daily, etc.—based on reporting or analysis needs.
  • For critical data, consider near-real-time integration; for non-critical data, batch processing might be more efficient.
  • Data Volume and Storage Costs

  • Factor in the data volume being transferred, as large datasets can lead to higher storage and processing costs.
  • Manage storage settings in Azure to avoid unexpected costs, and set up alerts if needed.

Testing and Validation

  • Thoroughly test data flows and transformations before going live to ensure accuracy and reliability.
  • Validate data accuracy in Microsoft Fabric by cross-checking it with the original source in Oracle Fusion.
