Our expert panel break it down: Microsoft Fabric is a comprehensive platform that integrates a suite of data services. Think of it as a one-stop shop for data engineering, integration, warehousing, real-time analytics, and machine learning. The goal? Simplify and accelerate the speed of data-driven decision making in any business, large or small.
The team runs through the features that make Microsoft Fabric an adaptable and scalable solution for businesses of all sizes:
Solentive is a digital technology consultancy that specialises in business automation. They provide strategy and advisory services alongside practices in automation and AI, secure modern workplace and custom software development.
CTO, Peter Watts offers some brilliant insights on How to Approach Data and AI Projects:
1. Start with business objectives: Understand what the business wants to achieve and how technology can help.
2. Engage the right stakeholders: Involve senior executives, operational managers, and frontline staff to ensure alignment.
3. Identify use cases: Determine the impact on decision-making, who will be making decisions, and the frequency of data updates required.
4. Consider data governance: Peter explains how to recognise data owners, stewards, and custodians in the organisation and adapt to their specific needs
5. Assess available data sources: Understand the origin and context of data, including how it’s captured and used.
For Peter, Fabric’s most exciting promise is making advanced analytics accessible. Fabric and its integration of Power BI and Copilot means that business users —not just IT specialists—can leverage company data at scale and at speed, with greater simplicity than ever before.
The demand is high for solutions that help customers drive value out of their data.
Crayon supports partners to get customers on the road to data-driven businesses with a range of value-add activities. This includes assessments, solution design, sales enablement, migrations and support to understand Fabric licensing structures. We can also guide you on where you may be eligible to access funding, promotions and incentives.
