With significant demand for Microsoft Fabric, our company has already successfully completed the first wave of pilot projects during Fabric preview, helping customers to evaluate and unlock the potential of Fabric.
One of our projects within Microsoft Fabric was a fantastic experience with Infobip, a Croatian IT telecommunications company and a global leader in omnichannel communication, which reaches over seven billion mobile devices in more than 190 countries connected directly to over 700 telecom networks.
They were one of the first who started piloting Microsoft Fabric with our help, and according to the feedback, they are more than happy with the results.
“Infobip is always looking for ways to add innovative capabilities to our communications platform. We wanted to automate and augment decision intelligence through data as a product with a simple self-service implementation while keeping costs low. With Microsoft Fabric, we were able to do a POC and really saw how data architecture and improvements in structuring and organizing data could simplify data consumption from all our different users (BI tools, integrations, decision automatization)” says Alen Horvat, Director of Data and Analytics in Infobip.
With general availability, we look forward to the vast new page, which will change the market entirely, and companies using Fabric will undoubtedly be winners.
