Enterprises today struggle to bridge the gap between fragmented data platforms and the applications that need to consume them intelligently. In this session, I'll walk through a real-world challenges companies are facing and how implementing Microsoft Fabric from requirements gathering, planning that unified data estate ingestion through OneLake, to modeling and governance the foundation for a new generation of AI-powered applications. I'll share the architecture decisions, the challenges along the way and how AI can help you in the process to add business impact moving from disconnected data tools to a single, governed platform. Attendees will leave with practical takeaways and understanding the Fabric Power BI ecosystem when your users can later consume data in PowerBI app or even enable chat to your data with Copilot,lalong with lessons learned that can shorten their own path to production.

Come learn from the speaker Lucrecia is a Microsoft Fabric and Power BI Microsoft MVP and Technical Project Program Manager and Solutions Architect. This session walks through the components that actually determine whether a Fabric project succeeds awareness of capacity planning and sizing, choosing between Lakehouse and Warehouse architectures (or both), semantic model and Direct Lake design decisions, workspace and governance structure, security and access planning, and a realistic rollout timeline.
