Microsoft Fabric: The Platform That Turns Data into Competitive Advantage
<p>Microsoft Corporate VP of Fabric, Yitzhak Kesselman, joins Josh and Tom to explain why operational efficiency — not just productivity AI — is the real multiplier, and how Fabric delivers the fresh data and context needed to make it happen.</p> <p>Drawing on conversations with hundreds of customers, Yitzhak explains how most companies are still stuck in front-end AI use cases while the bigger opportunity lies in using their own business data to drive better decisions and automated actions. He walks through why fresh, high-granularity data and curated business context are essential for AI agents to reason effectively, and how Microsoft Fabric brings these pieces together through OneLake, Real-Time Intelligence, and Fabric IQ.</p> <p>The discussion covers practical advice for mid-market CIOs, the shift from pure analytics to operational systems, the role of ontologies in making AI more accurate and cost-efficient and why speaking the language of business outcomes is critical when making the case for investment.</p>
