#MicrosoftFabric is growing like crazy, it is great to see the recognition of Fabric as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Data Fabric Platforms, Q4 2025, earning top scores in 19 of 26 areas including real-time integration, unified governance, and end-to-end capabilities. #PowerBI

What an incredible week at #MSIgnite, the energy in San Francisco was unmatched. #MicrosoftFabric is driving real transformation, simplifying architectures, and powering next generation AI.

The excitement from customers, partners, and our growing Fabric community was front and center. Organizations across every industry are modernizing their data estates, building on semantic models, and unlocking new possibilities. Here are a few reasons why.

#PowerBI #OneLake

Business growth brings opportunity, but also complexity. One of the biggest challenges we see today is data fragmentation. When data is scattered across platforms, it slows insights, duplicates effort, and undermines AI initiatives.

That’s why #MicrosoftFabric helps customers unify their data estate with #OneLake without expensive and time-consuming data migration projects through OneLake Shortcuts and OneLake Mirroring with all the data in open-source data formats (Iceberg, Delta).

At Microsoft, we’re partnering with Snowflake to enable customers to build an open lakehouse on their terms, connecting data estates across OneLake and #Snowflake without complexity or duplication. At #MSIgnite, we announced new capabilities that make it even easier to work on a single copy of data across both platforms.

This means faster insights, lower costs, and AI-ready data, all powered by openness and interoperability.
