Esri Partners with Microsoft to Provide Spatial Analytics in Microsoft Fabric
At its 44th annual User Conference, Esri announced an expanded collaboration with Microsoft
to integrate spatial analytics technology with Fabric, Microsoft’s unified analytics SaaS platform. By
integrating Esri technologies, data experts—including analysts, data
scientists, engineers, and their executive stakeholders—can seamlessly use
Esri's advanced spatial analytics tools and visualizations within Microsoft
Fabric. This results in powerful spatial analytics easily shared across
organizational tools like Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and Esri’s ArcGIS
environment.
"With this
collaboration, Esri is committed to helping our shared customers understand and
leverage spatial data to uncover insights and make better decisions," said Jack Dangermond, Esri president.
"We are pleased to deepen our work with Microsoft and provide our spatial
analytic capabilities for data professionals within Microsoft Fabric."
The collaboration,
which integrates Esri's ArcGIS with Microsoft Fabric, is currently in its
private preview phase. Trusted customers and partners are participating in the
select group across industries including local government, architecture
engineering and construction (AEC), energy, gas, manufacturing, petroleum,
financial, and technology.
"This next
step in our collaboration will demonstrate how Microsoft Fabric customers are
benefitting from powerful spatial analysis technology from Esri to achieve
deeper insights for their organizations,” said Amir Netz, Chief Technology
Officer of Azure Data at Microsoft.
Fabric users will
have direct access to advanced spatial analytics tools and functions, as well
as an extensive library of authoritative and curated spatial data.
“As a private
preview participant, we are already seeing incredibly impressive performance
working with geospatial data in Fabric,” said Alejandro Vidal, founder of GIS Routes, a company creating
technology solutions focused on the transportation ecosystem in Latin America.
“Fabric was unbelievably fast at processing data and producing results, and our
team is looking forward to the additional benefits that this collaboration between
Microsoft and Esri will deliver to our organization and our customers.”
