All Roads Lead to Fabric: A Strategic Deep Dive into Microsoft’s Unified Data Platform
Session Overview:
Microsoft Fabric is redefining the concept of a unified data platform by bringing together a wide range of analytics and data management capabilities under one roof. This session explores why organizations are increasingly choosing Fabric to simplify their architecture, reduce costs, and enable seamless collaboration across teams to accelerate strategic decision-making.
Through a strategic lens tailored for business, finance, IT leaders, and executives, you’ll gain insights into Fabric’s comprehensive suite of integrated analytics and data management tools, its robust performance across critical services such as Power BI and Data Factory, and its exceptional ease of adoption among Microsoft 365 users. Additionally, Fabric’s unique native integration with Excel, widely recognized as the business user’s analytics tool of choice, enables quicker adoption, minimizes disruption, and maximizes productivity from day one.
We’ll conclude with a strategic discussion to help you assess whether your current Power BI environment meets your future needs or if scaling to Microsoft Fabric is the strategic decision your organization requires.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand why Microsoft Fabric represents the optimal unified data platform choice for modern businesses.
- Learn about Fabric’s unique cost advantages and how they can benefit your organization.
- Evaluate whether your organization’s needs are fully met by Power BI alone or if scaling to Microsoft Fabric is the right strategic move.
