What is Microsoft Fabric?
Microsoft Fabric is an end-to-end analytics solution that unifies data movement, data science, real-time analytics, and business intelligence. It brings together the best of Data Factory, Synapse, and Power BI into a single SaaS experience.
For asset managers, Fabric introduces OneLake—the "OneDrive for Data." It provides a single, unified storage location for all your data across the organization, eliminating the need to move or copy data between different silos just to analyze it.
Why build automation on top of Fabric?
We recommend Fabric for clients deeply integrated with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem who want a seamless, low-friction path to automation.
Unified Storage (OneLake)
Fabric's "Shortcuts" feature allows you to virtualize data from AWS S3, Google Cloud, or Snowflake without moving it. Ntropii can ingest and normalize this data instantly, treating your entire multi-cloud estate as one logical lake.
Office & Teams Integration
Because it's built by Microsoft, Fabric integrates natively with Excel and Teams. You can push Ntropii's calculated NAVs or distribution notices directly into the Office tools your finance team uses every day, securely and automatically.
Copilot for Data (AI)
Fabric comes with Copilot embedded. This allows non-technical team members to use natural language to query data processed by Ntropii, democratizing access to complex fund performance metrics.
Serverless Compute
Fabric simplifies infrastructure management. There are no clusters to provision or manage. You simply load your data, and the compute scales automatically to handle Ntropii's heaviest Runbook calculations.
Who uses Microsoft Fabric?
Microsoft Fabric is the fastest-growing analytics platform in Microsoft's history. It is the platform of choice for:
