Data is the fuel for Artificial Intelligence. And Microsoft Fabric is the service for store and process data in any way, shape and form. It is the current and future data analytical platform at scale in the cloud.

Ten years ago when Microsoft released Power BI, it was bring the future of BI democratization for the enterprises. Power BI made possible developing a BI solution with minimal assist from IT and infrastructure.

Now Microsoft is doing it again. It is integrating the most popular and powerful data engines around the same data repository and file format, allowing for rapid data analytics at enterprise level with minimal assist from IT and infrastructure.

Workshops topics and agenda items include hands-on exercises on a sandbox environment provided to participants at the day of the workshop and for 5 days after, allowing them o redo their exercises after the event.

The future of Power BI at scale and integration with AI is in Microsoft Fabric. Get ready for it.

Microsoft Fabric brings a ton of new possibilities to Power BI’s original workflow process to collect data and create a report. In this workshop you will learn how to increase scalability, modularize your semantic model and benefit of the new features in MS Fabric from a Power BI perspective.

Database professionals (DBAs) have always been the most knowledgeable team member on how company’s data behaviors, how it is structure and how to get the best performance possible when dealing with it. Microsoft SQL Server has always pushed to get both analytical and transactional data as close as possible, so the DBA could help achieve project goals.

With the need for large scaled data processing that SQL couldn’t support, and the advent of big data and data engineering, a chasm was created in between both ends of the data processing universe. Microsoft Fabric brings both ends together again.

In this workshop you will bridge your DBA skills (SQL Server in particular) to Microsoft Fabric. You will learn how to model data for performance and how to manage the Fabric environment to better assist data projects in the cloud.

For two decades SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS) has been the main choice for enterprises to compile data together from multiple sources into any data destination. It’s been the main tool for SQL Server based solutions to either pull or export data out of transactional database system.

Microsoft Fabric brings the next level of data integration at scale and in the cloud. Fabric supports bring data from dozens of data sources both on-prem and cloud based. Now it is possible to crunch data at volumes not feasible before with SSIS.

Even though there is no direct path from SSIS to Microsoft Fabric, in this workshop you will learn the approaches and techniques to make your data integration packages native to the cloud. You will learn how to bridge your SSIS skills to the many options available in Fabric.

Cloud based solutions make it easier and faster to deploy solutions because there is no capital expenditures (CAPEX) before hand. Operational expenditures (OPEX) becomes the central point for the financial success of the cloud project.

Particularly to Microsoft Fabric, being able to design and monitor compute capacity utilization is key. And their utilization is directly impacted by the available features and level o access of team members to the environment.

Likewise, keeping track of the data and vouching for the source of truths for the various data client levels is crucial.

In this workshop you will learn the basic of Microsoft Fabric governance at tenant level, capacity level and feature level, empowering you to implement controls for data accessibility and resource utilization.

Helping organizations achieve a data-driven culture by implementing Data Analytics and Business Intelligence Solutions and increasing the solution adoption via workshops, training and Centers of Excellence.
