A data or analytics Center of Excellence (COE) is an internal team of technical and business experts. The team actively assists others within the organization who are working with data. A federated COE comprises a shared services team (the core COE members) plus satellite members from each functional area or major business unit (by definition of Microsoft Learn). We will draft an approach of the roadmap for Fabric based on Eduard's 5 years of experience with Power BI Adoption at Royal Heijmans of The Netherlands.

As data analytics engineer or as team-manager you can get confronted with the price of succes of your dataplatform and self-service users creating dashboards from it. Get practical approaches to actively involve your management, keyusers, and other stakeholders. At Heijmans the Power BI-community consists of more than 350 dashboard creators for about 200 daily readers. Learn from our lessons for cultivating data culture by organizing from mandate through support, training, and user-services for Fabric.

Discover in this session the considderations for the different COE-aproaches, a dataplatform architecture for enterprise- and streaming data, and organize means of communication and services with and for internal audiences.
