Most of their arguments answer an enterprise question while the mid-market is asking a completely different one. At Solv. Systems we've implemented both. We've charged real money for both. We've watched the buying decisions get made over the last two years. The mid-market doesn't have Spark engineers. It doesn't run heavy ML. It isn't multi-cloud. What it does have is Power BI developers, Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and a finite budget. That's not a context where Databricks' strengths matter. It's a context where Fabric's pricing, Direct Lake, and Microsoft integration win on default. Fabric isn't technically superior. It's just the right answer for the actual problem the mid-market is solving. Flatten is the right word. Not eliminate. Databricks keeps the enterprise, the ML-heavy shops, and the multi-cloud mandates. It loses the rest.

They restore landscapes across multiple countries and report impact to funders, investors, and carbon credit buyers. 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲: data scattered across 10+ systems, manual reporting cycles, and field teams flying blind on daily progress. 𝗡𝗼𝘄: one unified platform on Microsoft Fabric. Automated pipelines pulling from APIs, SharePoint, and every flavour of file. Power BI dashboards giving operational teams real-time line-of-sight, and stakeholder reporting that just works. The point isn't the tech. It's that their team can now focus on what they're brilliant at, restoring ecosystems and creating measurable environmental impact, while their data does the heavy lifting in the background. 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲: locking in governance and auditability across the data estate, with agentic AI integration layered in on top. Proud of this one, and of the team delivering it. 🌱 #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBI #EcosystemRestoration #CarbonMarkets #DataEngineering #SolvSystems

But if the layout, hierarchy, and narrative don't guide the user to the answer, the work doesn't get used. 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗫 in Power BI aren't nice-to-haves.  They're the reason adoption happens. Same data. Same metrics. Two very different outcomes!! #PowerBI #DataStorytelling #UIUX #DataVisualisation #MicrosoftFabric #BusinessIntelligence #SolvSystems

One of the most frustrating things in Fabric has been watching a busy Monday morning turn into a throttling nightmare - reports rejecting, pipelines stalling, and users wondering why their dashboard is broken.

Still running through all the information but a few things worth knowing:  • Opt-in, F SKU only (recommended F16+)  • Active within 5 minutes — no restart, no downtime  • Billed at 3× pay-as-you-go rates for excess CUs  • Pair it with Surge Protection for full capacity resilience 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆?  Set your overage limit at roughly ⅓ of your daily CU-hours - that's the break-even vs. upgrading to the next SKU tier. This won't replace proper capacity sizing, but it's a genuinely useful tool for handling unpredictable spikes without impacting your users. I do believe its worth enabling on your production capacities today just in case... https://lnkd.in/d6gZMrBh #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBI #DataEngineering #Azure #FabricCapacity

For us, it was the way Microsoft connected three critical themes: a unified data foundation with Fabric, stronger governance for AI agents through Agent 365, and faster developer workflows with GitHub Copilot CLI. Together, they point to a more practical blueprint for enterprise AI adoption. In our latest article, we unpack the key takeaways from the event and what they mean for organisations looking to modernise their data platforms, strengthen AI governance, and prepare for scalable AI use cases.

Microsoft's acquisition of 𝗢𝘀𝗺𝗼𝘀 is a direct response. Autonomous agents embedded in OneLake monitor for drift, adapt to schema changes, and handle data prep - without manual intervention. Less time fixing pipelines. More time delivering value. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/du2Ec_7y #MicrosoftFabric #DataEngineering #Osmos #SolvSystems
