Microsoft Fabric

Unified data platform for next-generation analytics and BI.

What is Microsoft Fabric?

Microsoft Fabric is the next generation unified data platform combining data engineering, data science, analytics and BI in one place. It replaces a mosaic of tools (Azure Data Factory, Synapse, Power BI Premium) with one integrated platform with a central OneLake storage.

For companies this means dramatically simplified data architecture, lower total costs and better collaboration between data engineers, data scientists and business analysts.

Who is this solution for?

  • Companies building a modern data platform
  • Organizations with complex data architecture looking for simplification
  • Businesses planning AI and machine learning projects
  • Companies transitioning from Azure Data Factory / Synapse
