Discover What's New in Power BI: Meet Microsoft Fabric and Copilot in Action!
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2025 7:16 am
Businesses have been collecting and storing vast amounts of data from applications, services, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, and other sources for decades. And each year, the volume of data collected grows at a staggering rate.
But harnessing the value of that data has proven challenging for most. Siloed data gets out of sync. Inconsistent data can morocco mobile database to high integration costs. Poor data quality sabotages new AI models. Outdated reports cause misinterpreted insights. All of this stifles the ability to unlock the full value of data, hindering innovation and AI experiences.
We’re excited to introduce Microsoft Fabric and Copilot in Microsoft Power BI. Fabric, now in preview, is a human-centric, end-to-end analytics product that brings all of an organization’s data and analytics together in one place. It brings together the best of Microsoft Power BI, Azure Synapse, and Azure Data Factory into a unified software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. Data engineers, data warehousing professionals, data scientists, data analysts, and business users can collaborate seamlessly on Fabric to foster a well-functioning data culture across the organization.
