Session:

For decades I've been designing, architecting, and implementing analytical solutions using MSFT data technologies, and I'm still not bored.

I consider the current times being the most exciting ones. New products/companies promising to solve analytical challenges easily are entering the stage almost every day. But what I consider even more important, not to say challenging is the advent of new concepts. Whereas I can ignore a new product easily to avoid re-training hundreds of users and other aspects like becoming a Junior again, new concepts are a different beast.

I consider concepts the building blocks that fuel any business or technology-focused initiative. The data warehouse concept is about creating a single point of truth (next to some other things). The concept of a lake house is about - what?

Ignoring a concept can become the root cause of demise, or as I put it sometimes: death by arrogance.

In this session, I will provide an overview of current concepts like data product, data contract, data lake house, and many other data ... concepts, why I consider some of them more important than others, compare concepts with similar approaches from the past, and of course: I will provide ideas how these concepts can be implemented using Microsoft Fabric and why they should - from a business perspective.
