However, the rise of AI, cloud services and interconnected systems is challenging that assumption.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Drawing on the Information Commissioner&#8217;s Office&#8217;s real-world data platform journey, this session explores how Microsoft Fabric helped reshape our thinking. Rather than moving all data to a single platform, we discovered that intelligence can be brought to the data, enabling AI, analytics and automation to operate across a connected ecosystem.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Attendees will learn what worked, what didn&#8217;t, and the architectural decisions we deliberately chose not to make. The session provides practical insights into building a modern, borderless data platform where Fabric acts as an intelligent foundation rather than the destination for every workload.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><b>Key Takeaways:<\/b><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Understand why traditional centralised data platform strategies are becoming increasingly difficult to sustain at scale.<\/li>\n<li>Learn how Microsoft Fabric can enable a connected data ecosystem rather than acting as another data silo.<\/li>\n<li>Discover practical patterns for deploying AI and analytics closer to the source data.<\/li>\n<li>\n<div role=\"presentation\">Gain insight into governance, architecture and operational considerations for building a borderless data platform.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1755","seminar","type-seminar","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"start_time":"2026-10-13 12:45:00","end_time":"2026-10-13 13:15:00","theatre":635,"speakers":[1751],"businesses":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.8 (Yoast SEO v27.8) -
