Businesses are moving from AI deployment to engineering it. It begs the question- are we AI-ready? Microsoft Fabric can make this challenge easier

“We are storytellers, we take the data and transform it into a clear, insightful story that drives action. I always say, numbers paint the picture, but it doesn’t tell the story; it’s up to us involved with the data to do that,” remarks a Business Analyst.

The crux? Data unification is imperative for AI-readiness.

It’s not just investing billions of dollars into the infrastructure and talent, and then letting AI steer the wheels. Truly diving into an AI-first future requires businesses to make an insightful and strategic use of the data at hand. It’s as every decision-maker asserts- data-driven strategies aren’t about all the data that you’ve at hand, but how you apply it.

Microsoft is adopting this philosophy, and as a step forward, revamping its next-gen data and analytics platform, Microsoft Fabric.

The goal is to transform how businesses interact with and leverage data at hand. This platform will streamline all organizational data for teams to convert it into actionable insights with full business context. For Fabric, your business isn’t just an immobile report full of numbers. It reads the whole context of your business and takes it as it is.

The tech giant has introduced new capabilities in Fabric to help business leaders amalgamate and make sense of their organizational data.

As we move from ideation to execution, sophisticated AI systems will require contextualized and rich data. But the point is, for these models, it’s not just numbers or random words, but a database of knowledge. And if it’s structured properly, it can facilitate these systems to connect, reason, and act with intent.

The need for organizing raw data has never been more apparent.

And as one hopes for smooth AI operations across organizations, smooth collaboration can only stem from connecting enterprise data. This will help teams to scale and exchange value through open data flows, introducing more actionable building blocks for AI adoption.

Microsoft Fabrics’ new capabilities aren’t just tools for data developers. They are strategic advantages for business leaders who wish to innovate and automate their in-house functions.

And instill lasting impact, through newfound efficiency and governance.
