On-Demand Session: Microsoft Fabric 101 - Building an AI-Ready Data Foundation
A 20-Minute Strategic Brief for IT Directors and Data Leaders
An Introduction to Microsoft’s Unified Data Platform
Senior technical leaders are facing a real challenge: how do you enable AI capabilities like Copilot, data agents, and predictive analytics when your current data architecture was built for traditional BI and reporting?
Microsoft Fabric is Microsoft's answer to that challenge. It's a unified analytics platform that brings together data engineering, warehousing, real-time analytics, data science, and Power BI on a single foundation called OneLake, with AI built in from the start.
In this 20-minute on-demand session, you'll get a clear, practical introduction to what Microsoft Fabric is, how it works, and why mid-market organizations are adopting it now.
What You'll Learn:
- Why Fabric Exists: the shift from traditional analytics platforms to AI-ready data foundations
- How OneLake Works: zero-copy integration, unified governance, and what it means for Copilot readiness
- What Happens to Existing Investments: how Fabric fits alongside Synapse, Power BI, and Azure Data Factory
- Real-World Outcomes: specific examples from mid-sized organizations that have already implemented Fabric
- Next Steps: discovery conversations, proof-of-value pilots, and structured Jumpstart engagements
