Microsoft Fabric - your unified data platform for AI and insights

Microsoft Fabric is a unified data platform that enables you to manage your entire data journey in one place - from collection and storage to analysis and visualisation. This means no more juggling between multiple tools and systems. Fabric is designed to make data more accessible, secure and usable for your entire organisation.

With Fabric you can:

• Bring together data from many different sources in one platform.
• Analyse data and create insights that support decisions.
• Share reports and dashboards in Power BI so your entire organisation works from the same data.

In short: Fabric helps you take control of your data and turn it into value.

The main benefits are:

• All-in-one platform: You get integration of analytics, data management, AI and visualisation in one unified ecosystem.
• Less complexity: No need to maintain multiple systems.
• Scalability and security: Fabric is built on Microsoft's cloud infrastructure, giving you high security and flexibility.

This means you can focus on the business - not on technical challenges.

No - but Fabric builds on Synapse. Where Synapse focused primarily on data analytics, Fabric offers a much broader platform that also includes data integration, governance, AI and visualisation. It's the next step in the evolution of modern data platforms.

You can start with a trial via Microsoft 365, where you get access to OneLake (Microsoft's data lake) and the different Fabric workspaces.
But to get the most out of the platform, we recommend working with an IT partner like itm8 who can help with:

• Setup and integration with your existing systems.
• Data security and governance best practices.
• Employee training to ensure you get the most out of the solution.
