From Finance to Fabric | Daten-WG Podcast with Khaled Chowdhury

We reveal the real reason why Fabric is winning tha data game!


A common misconception is that Fabric tries to compete directly
with platforms like Snowflake or Databricks. Khaled disagrees
with that view. He believes Fabric’s real competitor is something
completely different.


Excel.


Not because Fabric replaces Excel, but because it integrates with
it. Excel will likely remain the final mile of analytics in many
organizations. But with tools like OneLake and connected
datasets, Excel can become a window into a governed data platform
rather than a disconnected spreadsheet universe.





We talked about Microsoft Fabric, consulting, business value, and
why most data projects fail. And Khaled has a particularly
interesting perspective on that topic – because he did not start
in IT or data.


If you want to scale your business with Microsoft Fabric - this
is for you!
