Leader & Microsoft Fabric: Data & AI Unify Program
February 27, 2026 ·
Most customers want to adopt AI, but their data foundations aren't ready.
Common challenges:
- Data spread across multiple systems and silos
- High cost and complexity integrating data
- Slow time‑to‑value for analytics projects
- Poor data quality blocking meaningful AI outcomes
Customers want AI, Copilots, and deep insights — but most aren't ready. Their data is fragmented, ungoverned, and expensive to integrate. Leader and Microsoft are partnering to fix this quickly, securely, and with up to 50% funding available.

- Data engineering
