Microsoft is expanding its Fabric platform with new data agents designed to empower self-service analytics for business users. These tools, which operate through natural-language queries, help users analyze data without requiring assistance from business analysts. Arun Ulag, a Microsoft executive, emphasizes the importance of such tools as many enterprises lack adequate analytical support. While the agents democratize data access and insights, they could also lead to potential lock-in for businesses relying solely on Microsoft’s ecosystem.
The innovation here is that these data agents can provide conversational assistance to any enterprise knowledge worker that is interested in performing data-driven analytics. This enables a radical democratization of the capability not only of data analysis, but also the skill of explaining the significance of data-centric insights.
Most enterprises either don't have business analysts or their analysts are too busy to deal with all the demands for their services.
