Drive Agility and Enhanced Accuracy with Reporting and Analytical Solutions using Microsoft Fabric

Integrate Fabric with Microsoft Dynamics and other ERP Suites

Microsoft Fabric is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) cloud-based suite that redefines conventional reporting and analytics with AI-infused capabilities. It’s built to integrate with any data source, be it Big Data or conventional data storage across third-party applications.

Microsoft Fabric solutions enable businesses to get faster and customized reports and enhanced analytics that discover hidden patterns and trends in your data, fostering better decision-making. The best part of Microsoft Fabric implementation is that it’s scalable, and you pay only for the services that you use, all while using a replication of your existing data.

Let’s look at the common challenges that organizations face in reporting and analytics, followed by the way our Microsoft Fabric solutions addresses them.

Common Challenges in Reporting and Analytics
Customized reports and dashboards need to be built quickly to suit dynamic business requirements
Need for faster reports & dashboards that act on real-time data variations, with perfect ease of usage.
Need for an efficient platform and tooling that analyses Big Data and other data models across your technology stack, be it from an ERP system or data warehouses, with support for multiple Big Data analysis capabilities.
Need to leveraging modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Gen AI to get rich data insights, Predictive Analytics, such as from Documents, Images & Vision, without high upfront costs.
Existing users of Microsoft Dynamics face challenges in implementing OData and BYOD reporting methods, which delay the reporting process, has performance challenges and make it difficult to manage. This is one of the major reasons why Microsoft recommends a move towards Microsoft Fabric solutions for reporting & analytics.
Many IT teams come with traditional database skills and find it difficult to navigate the big data technologies in Microsoft Fabric implementations such as Synapse & Fabric links for near real time data ingestion, Delta lake with Parquet, Spark pools for processing, Medallion data architecture for Lake houses ,etc.

How Microsoft Fabric Solutions works with your Data?

Microsoft Fabric with Synapse link works by replicating your existing Dynamics Dataverse tables natively. It uses Parquet files which have change data capture mechanisms and uses the Delta Lake model for incremental changes into Microsoft Fabric. This captures the changes in the existing Dynamics applications and updates the delta data changes in a continuous interval of 10-15 minutes. With Microsoft Fabric link, your data doesn’t leave the Dataverse governance boundary while authorized Fabric users can securely access data that resides within Dataverse. Additionally, for other ERP and data sources data factory pipelines can be configured to fetch data at configurable intervals.

Spark, a Big Data programming language processes the data through the raw and the cleanse-data layer in Microsoft Fabric implementation using a Distributed Computing Processing approach. The aggregated layer can be created in Synapse, which is a data warehouse, and reports are generated in Power BI with near real-time latency.
