From Dynamics to Decisions: Building an End-to-End Analytics Platform with Fabric
Session Overview: ” Most Dynamics environments are often rich in data but poor in insight—this session shows how to bridge that gap with a scalable and modern Fabric-powered analytics architecture.
Organizations are under increasing pressure to become data-driven, yet many Dynamics ERP/365 implementations are still relying on fragmented reporting, slow performance, and inconsistent metrics. At the same time, Microsoft Fabric is redefining how data platforms are built—introducing OneLake, Direct Lake, and unified analytics experiences that promise faster insights and simplified architectures.
However, there is a critical gap: most teams don’t know how to connect their existing Dynamics (Dataverse) data to this new paradigm in a scalable, governed, and performance-optimized way.
This session addresses that gap head-on. It provides practical, real-world guidance on how to modernize your analytics approach without re-platforming your ERP—showing how to turn Dataverse data into a foundation for high-performance reporting, real-time insight, and AI readiness.
You’ll learn how to bring Dataverse data into OneLake, apply medallion architecture (Bronze, Silver, Gold), and build optimized semantic models using Direct Lake. We’ll connect architecture decisions directly to reporting outcomes—so you can deliver faster, more reliable insights at scale.
The session culminates in a live, end-to-end demo: starting with raw Dynamics data and finishing with an executive-ready Power BI dashboard.
For organizations looking to move beyond legacy BI approaches and fully leverage Fabric, this is the blueprint for what comes next.”
Learning Objectives:
- Architect a modern analytics solution for Dynamics 365 data using Fabric, OneLake, and medallion design patterns.
- Model Dataverse data for performance and scale using Direct Lake and Power BI semantic models.
- Deliver end-to-end analytics solutions that transform raw ERP data into consistent, trusted, and actionable insights.
