About Us
Your tech partner
Microsoft Fabric is a transformative end-to-end solution that unifies every element of data analytics for business intelligence. All in one platform.
Microsoft Fabric delivers seamless and scalable analytics augmented with the power of AI. It integrates, manages and analyses your data to accelerate insights and empower your people with the highest levels of security and compliance.
Microsoft Fabric
The ability to transform your company data into business intelligence drives better decisions and creates competitive advantages. Microsoft Fabric combines data integration, data engineering, data warehousing, data science and real-time analytics into one Software as a Service product. It also uses machine learning and AI to help your teams build their own bespoke solutions, turning raw data into real value through a simple and intuitive interface.
This is the most powerful unified data platform that empowers you to build dashboards and break silos through best-in-class technology.
Intelligent Industries
The clear advantages of Microsoft Fabric can easily be applied across almost every industry to help streamline operations, use data more effectively with faster responses and consolidate services in a centrally governed and secure way.
Real-time analytics can be made available for sales trends and inventory management across all locations. Personalised recommendations and elevated customer engagement is made possible through the coordination of multiple data streams from both internal and external sources.
Predictive maintenance is encouraged through connected devices and data streams across the whole business. Supply chain management can be optimised too with integrated third-party data, production systems and workflows. Order tracking, route management and customer alerts & updates are all open for automation and bespoke improvements.
Risk assessment is easily managed and refined through integrated and comprehensive data sources that are available for insights and modelling. The process of sophisticated customer profiling can also be informed with more personalised products created through more reliable and up-to-date data touchpoints.
The future-forward elements of personalised healthcare require so many streams of data from several sources that monitor patients, research and treatment availability. Microsoft Fabric is the ideal platform to store, manage and process the information in an ultra-compliant and secure way.
Understanding Microsoft Fabric
Microsoft Fabric works in response to seven data focussed workloads that can work both independently and in an integrated way to suit the requirements of your organisation.
Designed for building, developing and maintaining large scale data pipelines and preparations. This supports big data processing without moving between systems and can easily structure unrefined data into trusted data sets for operational use.
This is a simple code free or low code data integration tool. It can ingest, transform and orchestrate data across multiple sources such as the cloud, on-premises or through APIs to automate workflows, drive analytics, deliver reporting and inform machine learning.
A collaborative environment to build, train and deploy machine learning models and AI developments in your organisation. It can automatically tune models in response to their required output while encouraging new experiments with your data using familiar coding languages and tools.
This SQL-based workload supports both traditional Business Intelligence and modern data architectures to enable large datasets to be queried, governed and analysed directly at source in the Fabric platform. It delivers enterprise grade analytics in a rapid and unified way.
This workload is purpose built to ingest and analyse high volumes of real time data from streams such as logs, telemetry and IoT. It’s the ideal for operational intelligence, intuitive dashboards and instant insights that can monitor KPI’s as they are happening.
Power BI is fully integrated into Fabric for a business intelligence experience connected directly to OneLake that fuels interactive dashboards and reports. It can easily generate valuable visuals and summaries using natural language prompts through Microsoft Copilot AI assistance.
This workload is designed to support high quality operational data storage and transactional processing. Built on Azure SQL database technology, it complements all the analytical work that other workloads carry out on the platform. Offering high availability in a scalable and secure way.
Microsoft Platform
Perhaps the most crucial element of Microsoft Fabric is OneLake. This is the central data storage layer that unifies all structured, unstructured and semi-structured organisational data into one single and logical data lake.
OneLake is automatically provisioned for you as a Fabric client eliminating the requirement to create and manage multiple storage accounts. This is where all the data for your workloads are stored so there is no need to move or duplicate data at any point in your operations.
Microsoft Fabric is reshaping the way organisations manage, analyse and act on their data.
As an all-in-one analytics platform, it brings together powerful capabilities from governance and AI to seamless integration and cost efficiency into a single, unified experience. For businesses looking to streamline operations, enhance collaboration and unlock deeper insights, Fabric offers a compelling solution.
Businesses can integrate security, lineage and compliance tools which allows for centralised governance in Microsoft Fabric. For example, Microsoft Purview can act as the compliance layer to ensure that all data in Fabrics is secure, discoverable, correctly classified and, importantly, always auditable.
The services that Fabric consolidates into one platform hugely reduces infrastructure sprawl and the duplication of data. This operational efficiency leads to greatly optimised storage, compute and licensing costs across your whole environment.
Fabric is built for seamless integration with your existing Microsoft business tools and applications for smooth collaboration, rapid insights and holistic workflows. Microsoft 365, Azure, Power BI, Teams and Copilot are all a part of the cohesive Fabric experience from data ingestion all the way through to business intelligence.
Built in Copilot and native data science tools encourage and empower the people within your organisation to model new and valuable ways of using AI and machine learning in your operations. New insights are easily generated in a simple and constantly data governed way using OneLake.
The clean, intuitive and consistent interface of Microsoft Fabric allows all roles within your company to work in a unified environment with shared data and tools. It also means that task hand off, collaboration and sharing is a friction free process.
The entire analytics lifecycle lives in Microsoft Fabric. From initial data ingestion to dashboard development, a fully governed workflow delivers faster, more secure data processes that can scale simply and efficiently.
Microsoft is investing in organisations that want to modernise their data estate and accelerate the insights and business intelligence capability. As a leading Microsoft Partner, BCN has exclusive access to this funding covering both proof of value and deployment support.
Most customers are eligible for initial Proof of Value funding with larger organisations potentially qualifying for more depending on expected consumption. Additional deployment support is also available, scaled to the scope of migration and expected impact.
If you’re exploring ways to unlock deeper insights and streamline your data strategy, this is a valuable opportunity.
