AI isn’t magic—it’s powered by data. But most organizations struggle to make that data usable, scalable, and secure enough to activate real AI value. This session explores how to design and implement a modern data platform that enables AI across both structured and unstructured data types.

We’ll break down best practices for architecting data estates that are flexible, governed, and AI-ready—leveraging Microsoft Fabric and Azure as reference platforms. Whether you're operating in a single cloud, hybrid, or multi-cloud environment, the principles and approaches shared are broadly applicable and grounded in real-world use cases.

By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with a blueprint for activating AI in your business, while maintaining enterprise-grade scale, security, and performance.

Key Takeaways

• Design a future-ready data foundation that scales securely across structured and unstructured data for AI activation.
• Leverage Microsoft Fabric and Azure to unify data, simplify governance, and accelerate time-to-insight.
• Apply proven best practices to implement a scalable, secure, and AI-ready platform—regardless of your cloud environment.
