IDEA by Capgemini uses Microsoft Fabric to support data-driven businesses

Organizations today recognize the need to leverage data as a strategic advantage to stay competitive, regardless of their industry. The value hidden within an organization’s data is well understood, and it’s no longer a question of whether to harness this data, but how to do so effectively. 

Data problems are real

While companies possess vast amounts of data, the challenge lies in the fact that this data is often scattered across organizational silos and stored on outdated legacy systems, some of which may be decades old. These silos and systems hinder decision-makers from obtaining a comprehensive view of their business and customers. Leveraging data assets from these legacy systems to enable data-driven decision-making across the entire organization becomes an arduous task, if not impossible.

Managing data is an art powered by hi-tech solutions
