Microsoft Fabric

Microsoft Fabric – The next generation data platform

Your integrated solution for modern data analysis with Softline

In an age where data is the new gold, it is becoming increasingly important to efficiently manage, analyze and translate information into strategic decisions. Microsoft Fabric provides a unified platform that brings together data integration, processing, storage and analysis in a single environment - seamless, powerful and scalable.

As an experienced Microsoft partner, Softline GmbH supports you in exploiting the full potential of Microsoft Fabric - from strategic consulting to technical implementation.

We know your challenges

Complexity

Advances in AI and data technology have led to complex data architectures and fragmentation - a significant growth in stored data and the systems that support it.

Data silos

Siloed data can lead to data security risks and impact the security of your assets, regulatory compliance and your organization's brand.

Incompleteness

Creating holistic reports and insights takes a lot of time and often they are only used once and cannot be reused. Decisions based on isolated/siloed data (based on one or two data sources) can be unreliable and lead to poor business impact.

Our solution

With Microsoft Fabric, you can master your challenges with ease. Gartner has positioned Microsoft as a Leader in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Data Integration Tools. At the heart of Microsoft's data integration arsenal is the Azure Data Factory, and the same foundational technology is available in the new Microsoft Fabric1.

Softline's Microsoft Fabric service helps you develop the concept of a unified data estate - assess your current situation, collect data in one place, perform ETL, create holistic reports and democratize data across your organization.

Our goal is to help our customers realize their data potential by leveraging our partnership with Microsoft, from exploring relevant use cases to full deployment of Microsoft Fabric.
