Just over a month ago, we attended FabCon, Microsoft’s annual conference dedicated to the rapidly evolving Fabric data platform. The event offered valuable insights into the latest advancements across Fabric and Copilot, and it reinforced how these technologies can transform the way organisations manage, analyse, and automate their data.
At F-Tek, we’re already helping clients address some of the most common data and process challenges seen across industries. Following FabCon, we have identified several new opportunities to use Fabric’s capabilities and Copilot Agents to drive greater efficiency, accuracy, and insight.
Key Opportunities We’re Exploring
Across our client base, several recurring business challenges stood out as strong candidates for Fabric and AI-driven solutions:
Invoice validation: Automating the validation of supplier invoices against approved contracts, purchase orders, and pricing to reduce manual review and error rates.
Document analysis: Using AI to analyse documents such as CVs or tender responses, helping teams assess alignment and score against dynamic criteria.
Azure DevOps data quality: Improving the consistency of work item content by flagging vague or incomplete entries and applying classification analysis for better reporting.
Real-time analytics: Moving beyond next-day reporting to provide live insights that enable faster, more agile decision-making.
Data security and governance: Strengthening data protection through access control, audit trails, and automated sensitivity tagging.
Why Microsoft Fabric is a Strong Fit
Fabric offers a unified set of tools and capabilities that address these needs directly:
Dataflows and Pipelines: For seamless ETL/ELT data ingestion.
OneLake: A flexible, centralised data lakehouse for secure storage and access.
Copilot Agents: Intelligent automation for validation, enrichment, and insight generation.
Power BI with Semantic Models: Consistent, visual reporting and analytics for every audience.
Real-Time Analytics with KQL Databases: Stream and query live data for immediate insights.
Event Streams: Real-time event processing for instant notifications and workflow triggers.
Microsoft Purview Integration: Built-in governance, lineage tracking, and data classification.
Looking Ahead
Microsoft Fabric and Copilot Agents are creating a unified, intelligent data ecosystem where automation, analytics, and AI work in harmony. From finance to HR and engineering to governance, these capabilities are already changing how organisations manage and extract value from their data.
At F-Tek, we will continue to explore the real-world challenges our clients face and how solutions built on Fabric can address them, sharing insights and case studies that highlight what works and why.
