Lumel

Lumel is Microsoft's strategic first-party ISV partner for Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) on Microsoft Fabric

SBI is a certified Microsoft Cloud Data partner with deep expertise across Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory, and Power BI. Our certified competencies in Data & AI (Azure) and Digital & App Innovation (Azure) within the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner program position us as a natural delivery partner for Lumel's EPM suite on Fabric.

Lumel's native integration with Microsoft Fabric aligns directly with SBI's core strengths:

End-to-end Fabric & Power BI expertise — SBI deploys complete data solutions from platform to reporting and governance, all within the Microsoft ecosystem. Lumel extends this with enterprise planning capabilities on the same foundation.
EPM & Finance transformation — SBI has a proven track record in consolidation, planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting. Lumel adds a modern, no-code planning layer that operates directly on the data architecture SBI builds and manages.
AI-ready data strategies — When plans, forecasts, and actuals all reside in OneLake alongside transactional and operational data, AI models gain the forward-looking context they need. SBI's Advanced Analytics & AI practice can leverage this unified data estate to deliver predictive insights and agentic AI use cases.

Microsoft Strategic First-Party Alliance — Planning in Fabric IQ, co-engineered between Lumel and Microsoft, launched in March 2025 as a native first-party experience within Microsoft Fabric.
Featured by Microsoft leadership — Showcased by Satya Nadella at Microsoft Build (May 2024) and as a Featured ISV Partner in the FabCon Keynote (Sep 2025).
Industry-leading recognition — Rated 4.94/5, Best Overall EPM Vendor in the 2025 BPM Partners Pulse Study. Named Overall Leader in Customer Experience and Trust Leader in Vendor Credibility by Dresner Advisory Services (2025).
