Data Factory for small and medium-sized businesses
For many SMEs, data integration can quickly become a major challenge. Resources are limited and expensive integration projects are rarely realistic. The result is often manual solutions or half-integrations that waste time and create errors.
With Data Factory, you get an easy-to-use tool. You don't need a large data team to get value out of your data and you don't need expensive customised solutions. Fabric gives you enterprise functionality, but in a way that's manageable - even for smaller organisations.
From complex flows to simple everyday life
When data integration becomes simple, you free up time and resources in your everyday life. With Data Factory, you can automate repetitive tasks, reduce errors and ensure the right data is always available when you need it.
This means fewer manual processes, faster access to insights - and a stronger foundation for using data actively throughout your organisation. Business decisions don't have to wait for reports to be updated - you get real-time insights so you can act faster and more accurately.
How Data Factory makes a difference
When data integration becomes easier, you can turn data into real value much faster.
Data Factory ensures that your data is always up-to-date, cleansed and accessible across the entire organisation. This means that your analyses always rest on a solid foundation - and that you can trust the decisions you make.
