As the company moves forward we have multiple systems with data in them, fabric is allowing us to put all this data into the platform to allow us to query the data to make decisions based on the past and help predict the future such as customer orders or a commodity price change etc, we would also look into getting AI to query the data as well in the end.

Fabric- an evolving data evnironment

Aug 13, 2025

Fabric offers good integration with MS SQL ecosystem / Azure and PowerBI, and appears to be a good replacement for older technologies. There are some drawbacks, with functionality being a fairly new product it lacks some features existing products offer such as RowVersion as a data type isn't yet compatible for example. However, new features are being added frequently, often addressing issues i have previously had.

Leveraging Microsoft Fabric for Reliable Data Extraction from SAP Systems

5.0

Jun 4, 2025

Microsoft Fabric is very integrated with each service even prev. product. Our primary objective in adopting Azure Data Factory was to establish a unified orchestration layer for managing enterprise-wide data integration from SAP, MES, many local systems and MS Dynamics. To meet this goal, we leveraged a 3rd-party SAP connector integrated into ADF via a self-hosted integration runtime. This setup allowed us to reliably extract delta data from SAP without building complex logic in both SAP and ADF. Generally, this platform enables centralized governance and automation across the global pipeline. Building on the previous setup, Fabric Data Factory makes it easier to create pipelines and improves integration with tools like Power BI.
