New Microsoft data innovations unlock what only your business knows

Every organization has knowledge that is uniquely its own: the way its business operates, the data it has built over time, the expertise of its people and the context behind thousands of everyday decisions.

As powerful AI models become more widely available, that unique business intelligence matters more than ever. The difference will come from how effectively organizations combine those models with the data, expertise and business context that make them unique.

Turning that intelligence into lasting advantage requires three elements to work together: human ambition to set the direction, intelligence grounded in the organization’s unique knowledge and trust to provide the foundation for operating at scale. Microsoft’s approach is designed to bring those elements together so organizations can build on what they know and create greater value over time.

With new capabilities for data connectivity, transactional workloads, backend logic, storage and policy-controlled access, developers can move from prototype to production on a unified data foundation. These experiences bring application creation closer to where enterprise data and insights already live, helping more people turn data into action.

That value can compound through a continuous learning loop, where AI draws on an organization’s data and expertise, improves the systems and experiences it creates and generates better outcomes over time without making the organization dependent on any single model provider.

Today at the European Microsoft Fabric + SQL Community Conference in Barcelona, we are introducing advances across Microsoft Fabric and Azure Databases that help organizations put their data estate at the heart of a successful AI strategy.

As Microsoft Copilot evolves across Home, Code and Autopilot, access to trusted business context becomes essential. Fabric IQ brings governed business context into Copilot, grounding experiences in the Power BI semantic models, metrics, relationships and business definitions organizations already trust.
