Native to Fabric Lakehouse and
Warehouse via prebuilt Fabric and
ADF pipeline templates
Reuse existing OTBI, BIP datamodels,
Fusion Query Vault, custom queries with
metadata-driven pipeline template.
Hours, using drop-in templates and a
single configuration step per source
Point-to-point incremental, schedulable
per table, flexible cadence for near
real-time data
Published, organization-wide,
predictable annual pricing
Microsoft-shop friendly. No Oracle
add-on dependency to land data in
Fabric
Direct Guidanz support, single product,
single owner
Oracle GoldenGate (for Fusion Cloud)
Extraction via Fusion APIs and BICC, surfaced through OCI GoldenGate Data Transforms or as part of the FDI bundle
Lands data in OCI or ADW intermediate staging, then requires additional hops to reach Microsoft Fabric
Generic ETL primitives. Mappings, source schemas, and incremental logic remain your build
Typically weeks of topology design, source mapping, and end-to-end testing
Custom configuration per pipeline, tuned per source object
Quote-based, typically bundled inside broader Oracle licensing including OCI consumption
Requires OCI as an intermediate landing zone before Fabric
Tied to the broader Oracle licensing relationship

When GoldenGate Is The Right Call
We don't try to win every replication conversation. GoldenGate has legitimate strengths:
- Sub-second latency for cross-system transactional replication between databases
- Heterogeneous database-to-database replication outside the Fusion BI use case
- Existing GoldenGate footprint your team wants to extend
Why Architects Choose BI Connector For Fusion To Fabric
Fewer moving parts in the pipeline. One tool, one license, one owner.
Pre-built Fusion-aware templates cut weeks of mapping work.
Predictable cost. No Oracle license bundling required to reach Fabric.
Production proof in Microsoft Fabric across multiple Fusion customers.
"We evaluated three options including Oracle's native solution with GoldenGate. The consultants said from the beginning it was not an option. BI Connector was the easiest to implement and easiest to maintain. It's point-to-point, incremental refresh, and from that perspective it's perfect for us."
