This event is a webinar
Join us for our January Data Analytics Monthly Forum and explore how Microsoft Fabric can support a data mesh architecture!
Our monthly data forum is designed to bring together organisations of all sizes to discuss the latest trends and challenges in the data landscape.
Our Data Analytics Monthly Forum, is now bigger and better than ever! Our primary goal is to ensure that you derive maximum benefits from these sessions and that we consistently deliver value to you. For that reason, we encourage you to reach out to us about topics you’d like to see covered and engage in discussions during the forums.
Microsoft Fabric is fast becoming the go-to backbone for organisations that want to unify their data. Yet, if the architecture behind it doesn’t mirror how your organisation truly operates – across teams, domains and decision-makers – you’ll struggle to unlock real value from your data.
Join us this January as our Data Analytics Monthly Forum explores how data mesh architecture principles are being applied in real-world scenarios across private and public sector organisations. Our experts will also discuss how Microsoft Fabric brings this architecture to life – empowering teams to take ownership and work autonomously while maintaining strong governance, consistency and discoverability throughout.
Agenda
- Refresh on Data Mesh Architecture: We’ll run through what a data mesh architecture is, why it’s important and how it enables teams with self-service capabilities that are critical for modern organisations.
- Real Life Scenarios: We’ll dive into the real challenges both public sector and private organisations face with their data architecture, exploring how data mesh can help.
- How Does This Work in Fabric: We’ll provide practical guidance on how Microsoft Fabric supports this architecture through domains, shared services, workspace design and governance.
Whether you’re managing multi-department structures, navigating complex organisational boundaries, or simply seeking a pragmatic path to modernisation that avoids bottlenecks, this session provides actionable strategies for building a scalable, governed, and truly federated data architecture with Microsoft Fabric.
