“Data Consolidation Supports Decision-Making Despite Costs and Geographic Restrictions”
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.

“Integration Challenges in Microsoft Fabric Limit Its Enterprise Data Pipeline Capability”
Microsoft Fabric is an all-in-one data intelligence platform that tries to do everything but not very well at any of them. This review is specifically for the integration part of Microsoft Fabric. Microsoft Fabric is trying hard to replace Azure Data Factory, but currently the features are not on par. Also, a lot of the connectors require further set up like using an on-premise data gateway. Even integration with Azure Storage behind a firewall is not a smooth experience. I know the product is still evolving, but this is not an enterprise grade product, but more a business user facing product.

Fabric- an evolving data evnironment
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. - ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF DATA AND ANALYTICS10B+ USDHealthcare and BiotechReview Source
