Microsoft Fabric: Turning Fragmented Data into a Single Source of Business Truth

Microsoft Fabric: Turning Fragmented Data into a Single Source of Business Truth

In today’s technology-assisted era, most of the organizations are unaware of the data they currently handle and process across systems. The real challenge is faced by business professionals, data analysts, CTOs, IT experts, and other decision-makers who are unable to understand how to use and manage such a massive volume of data.

Why? Because all the information is available disparately, in isolation, and is slow-moving. Be it customer transactions, supplier updates, marketing analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) signals, or any other data-related operations.

That’s where the advantages of using Microsoft Fabric can help. You just need to collaborate with the right technology partner that has been helping global businesses resolve complex challenges with Microsoft Fabric services. This will enable enterprise-grade transformation, AI-driven automation, faster time-to-market, reduced overhead costs, and strategic decision-making.

While some organizations still consider it a mere data tool. Microsoft Fabric acts as a centralized foundation for your complete data management system. How? By offering data engineering capabilities, integration aspects, warehousing breakthroughs, visualization functionalities, and science-led activities – as one consolidated setup.

Exceptional Advantages that Matter Now & Beyond

Most emerging startups, mid-sized companies, and enterprises struggle to manage varied platforms with limited exchange of information. Are you an IT decision-maker facing a similar challenge? Is your organization looking for a 360-degree solution that can help eliminate the silos of fragmented platforms and disconnected systems?

Not to worry, Microsoft Fabric services can be your go-to option to overcome such hiccups and maximize return on objectives without compromising quality. It helps you create a single, reliable, and consistent data ecosystem that perfectly resonates with your business.

Forrester conducted a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study, where they interviewed companies currently using Microsoft Fabric. Based on their responses, Forrester crafted a composite company and ROI evaluation that highlights the most impacted areas on the financial grounds.

The composite organization is backed by 10K employees and has $5 billion in annual revenue. It has 400 business analysts and 40 data engineers. The company has used varied tools and platforms to collect, view, and analyze data. However, after deploying Microsoft Fabric, the composite organization observed a massive ROI of 379%.

The study identified that the organization’s data engineering efficiency increased by 25%. This surge is due to a 90% reduction in the time data engineers invest in the search, integration, and bug fixing. It also led to $1.8 million in cost savings. Moreover, business analyst access and outcome were enhanced by 20%, translating to an additional savings of $4.8 million.

That’s why Clarion has been helping their clients from different industries unlock the true potential of Microsoft Fabric services and craft groundbreaking solutions for business success.

For your better understanding, here are some of the use cases that we addressed and helped organizations create success stories.

#1 Success Story

Use Case: A large retail chain was facing difficulties while monitoring store-level performance. They were unable to identify accurate product movement, leading to regular stockouts/overstocking scenarios and errorful decision-making.  

Clarion’s Strategic Solution: We helped the client build a custom unified data platform for centralized data visibility using Microsoft Fabric. We also enabled real-time inventory tracking capabilities for their data experts using Power BI integration.

The Result: Our newly developed solution helped the client enhance forecast accuracy from 68% - 89%, minimize stockouts/overstock situations by 22%, save $18.7 million due to reduced stockouts, and improve inventory turnover by 15%.

#2 Success Story

Use Case: A global company has 3 enterprise apps that generate underlying datasets within disparate databases and tables. Their aim was to combine this data in order to refine analytics, decrease redundancies, and enable comprehensive reporting and governance.  

Clarion’s Strategic Solution: With Clarion’s expertise, the client was able to set up a modern data lake on top of Microsoft Fabric. We also helped them utilize the capabilities of Cloud Composer for ETL orchestration and Power BI for advanced business intelligence.

The Result: Clarion’s transformative solution assisted the client in unifying 11.4 billion records from 3 apps, reducing duplicate data storage by 72%, saving $280K annually, and increasing reporting speed from 14 minutes to 8 seconds.

#3 Success Story

Use Case: A US-based enterprise with a rapidly growing 4TB+ operational database experienced data silos, reporting limitations, and performance loopholes. This resulted in 22-minute delays during peak hours and an inability to accommodate the increasing demand for data access.

Clarion’s Strategic Solution: Clarion enabled the client to modernize their architecture for scale, speed, and advanced analytics using Microsoft Fabric. We implemented real-time reporting capabilities using Power BI and AI/ML-related operations using Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse.

The Result: The solution helped the client improve real-time reporting latency by 96.47% from 8.5 to 0.3 seconds, reduce transactional database load by 78%, and enhance scalability and AI/ML adoption without affecting transactional systems.

Remember, Microsoft Fabric isn’t just about data visualization. Instead, it’s about making decisions that empower your business to lead with complete assurance.  

Ideally, it’s not about whether you should or shouldn’t adopt Microsoft Fabric services and solutions. The real question is how fast your organization can start benefiting from these services.
