Summary

Organizations migrating from legacy BI platforms should focus less on recreating every dashboard and more on preserving the governed metric definitions, calculations, joins, and business context embedded within them. While dashboards remain useful for frequently accessed, high-value reporting needs, usage data can help identify which ones merit migration, as many older or one-off dashboards may no longer be relevant. AI analytics agents can provide an alternative for ad hoc questions by using trusted semantic models, documentation, and dashboard logic to generate answers in formats such as chats, slides, or new data apps. The author argues that AI can also accelerate technical migration by extracting dashboard metadata from formats such as YAML or XML and translating it into reusable context, though organizations must still establish sound governance and context strategies.
