Implement Microsoft Fabric Rapidly & Effectively with Ascent

Microsoft Fabric brings together the strengths of multiple different data engineering and analytic tools and approaches into one seamless experience. This offers organizations a transformational approach to working with data that is more efficient, cost-effective and user-friendly. But how do you create a rapid path to value? And how do you meet the expectations and requirements of your business and technology stakeholders?

Microsoft Fabric itself is designed to be straightforward to deploy, but getting the set-up right for your organization – and paving the way for the rapid onboarding of new capabilities – requires experience and careful planning. You need to engage your teams, deploy the technology effectively, customize the configuration for maximum impact and accelerate the platform’s potential to support the data products that drive your organization forwards.
