Key Highlights and Insights from FabCon 2025

• "Upgrade Pathways into Fabric Data Factory" Session: We were honored to be invited by the Microsoft Data Factory product team to present alongside esteemed Fabric experts Mark Kromer and Miguel Llopis. In the session, we showcased our specialized migration IP designed to automate and significantly speed up the transition from existing Synapse and ADF pipelines to Microsoft Fabric Data Factory, solving a key challenge in adopting the unified analytics platform.
• Tightened Alignment with Microsoft Fabric Roadmap: As a long-time Microsoft migration partner, participation in the Microsoft Fabric Community Conference provided an opportunity for our onsite team (consisting of Shahab Kamal - CTO, Jim Samide - Director of Client Solutions, and Seth Daluga - Sales Director) to forge closer collaboration with the Microsoft Fabric product team and tightened alignment of our Microsoft Fabric migration IP with the product roadmap.
• Breakfast with Bitwise: We were delighted to host "Breakfast with Bitwise," providing a dedicated space to connect with members of the #MicrosoftFabric community. It was a pleasure to engage in meaningful conversations, exchange insights, and foster valuable connections with the Microsoft professionals leading the way to advance AI innovation with Microsoft Fabric adoption.
• Deep Engagement and Learnings: Our team actively participated in various sessions and networking events, ensuring we are fully aligned with the latest learnings and advancements within Microsoft Fabric. This allowed us to deepen our understanding and further refine our expertise in this cutting-edge technology to enable our teams to share valuable thought leadership with our customers as they navigate their AI modernization journeys. 
• Discussing Modernizing Enterprise Data Warehouses: We engaged in discussions about the critical topic of modernizing enterprise data warehouses, particularly the strategic migration from legacy ETL tools like Informatica PowerCenter, DataStage and SSIS to Microsoft Fabric. We shared real success stories, including how we helped a Big Four global accounting organization achieve up to 78% automation in converting Informatica mappings to Fabric Notebooks, resulting in a 30% reduction in the overall effort for modernizing enterprise data warehouse by migrating from Informatica to Microsoft Fabric.
