We anticipate continual improvement in Fabric’s capabilities and eagerly explore its potential in the data and analytics domain.
Examples of Microsoft Fabric projects
Lately, we had a chance to talk with two Evitec Solutions’ Data & Analytics Consultants, Henni Niiranen and Joona Paronen, who have been actively engaged with Microsoft Fabric. They told us about their experiences, difficulties, and learnings on working with Fabric. Henni has been involved in couple of Fabric projects, including a proof-of-concept for a financial sector company.
Henni describes her projects:
– I’ve had the opportunity to approach Fabric projects from various angles, including a proof-of-concept project with a major player in the financial sector. Together with the customer we’ve been exploring the capabilities of Fabri and planning implementations. Currently, we’re collaborating with Microsoft to assess the broad environment capacity requirements. It’s been a very interesting experience.
Meanwhile, Joona has been immersed in development work with the city of Sastamala, culminating in his recent completion of the esteemed Microsoft Fabric certification program. The program is not the easiest to complete, which means completion requires deep knowledge of the Fabric technology.
Joona reflects his project work:
– I’m quite happy with our project on remote water meters. Leveraging new technology to streamline data processing has been both challenging and rewarding. Working with Fabric presents some considerations, especially regarding information security. Nonetheless, seeing results and a happy customer has been so nice.
Feedback from customers and new ways of thinking
The feedback from Fabric projects has been positive, with customers recognizing its potential to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. While some concerns regarding maturity of the technology are understandable, the advantages of Fabric, such as its scalability, flexibility, pricing, AI support, innovation and the fact that it wraps so many different components to one service, are undeniably compelling.
Henni reflects on the challenges:
– New technology demands a shift in mindset, and Microsoft Fabric is no exception. While concerns about maturity are valid, Fabric provides a new way of doing things with many benefits. Fabric gives a possibility to speed up the implementation of basic data processing tasks, so our customers can focus on more advanced analytics and insights.
Joona agrees:
– It’s logical to delegate routine tasks to automation and AI, freeing up human resources to tackle more complex challenges.
