Apache Superset migration

Migrate to Apache Superset. Off licensed BI, onto open source.

Move off Tableau, Looker or Power BI and cut your BI license bill to zero, without losing the dashboards your team relies on. We rebuild to parity, reconcile every number, then switch off the licenses.

The cost case

Superset is open source. The license line goes to zero.

Annual BI cost by team size
Licensed BI scales with every seat. Superset doesn't.

to break even
the migration pays for itself fast on a mid-size team

You still pay for hosting and our build, once. After that, adding the 50th or 500th viewer costs nothing in license fees, which is where licensed BI quietly drains the budget.

The migration playbook

No big-bang. No lost dashboards.

1

Audit + inventory

We catalog every dashboard, dataset and user role in your current tool, and rank them by usage. Dead reports get retired, not rebuilt.

2

Model + connect

We wire Superset to your warehouse, rebuild the semantic layer as version-controlled datasets, and match row-level security to your existing permissions.

3

Rebuild to parity

The dashboards your team actually uses, rebuilt chart-for-chart in Superset, including the custom visuals standard Superset does not ship.

4

Validate + cut over

Numbers reconciled against the old tool, side by side, until they match. Then we train your team and switch off the licenses.

Coming from

We have done this migration before.

Tableau → Superset

Workbooks and data sources mapped to Superset datasets. LOD-style calcs rebuilt in SQL. Row-level security ported to Superset RLS.

Looker → Superset

LookML semantic models rebuilt as Superset datasets and metrics. Explores become curated datasets. Embedded Looks move to embedded Superset.

Power BI → Superset

DAX measures translated to SQL, Power Query loads moved into the warehouse, RLS roles recreated. No more per-viewer license math.

Dashboard parity

You lose the licenses, not the work.

Migration only counts if your team trusts the new dashboards on day one. We rebuild to parity and prove the numbers match before anyone's old login stops working.

Same numbers, reconciled side by side before cut-over
Custom charts standard Superset lacks (waterfall, mekko, whale)
Row-level security matched to your existing roles
Scheduled reports and alerts rebuilt (email, Slack, PDF)
Datasets version-controlled, not trapped in a desktop file
Your warehouse as the single source of truth
Migration in practice

A logistics customer ran reporting on a licensed BI tool that billed per viewer, capping how widely they could share dashboards. We rebuilt the dashboards that mattered in Superset, reconciled every figure, and integrated ClickHouse with pre-aggregated tables. Load time dropped from 15 seconds to under 3, and the per-viewer license cost went to zero, so the whole ops floor could finally see the numbers.
