Accion Labs' deep experience in Microsoft Fabric, Data Flow and Data Factory Pipelines, Azure Purview, Power BI, Azure OpenAI, and Azure Synapse Analytics provides a trusted services for the customers to leverage Microsoft Fabric for extracting valuable insights, detect patterns, and gain a comprehensive understanding of their data.

The most common scenarios where Accion helps customers to have accelerated perspective on are:

1. Lakehouse / Warehouse (OneLake)
2. Fabric Data Factory
3. Fabric Data Engineering
4. Power BI
5. Fabric Security and Governance
6. Data Science

Accion utilizes Copilot rigorously in Microsoft Fabric and other development areas ensuring engineering cost advantage to the customers helping to achieve faster and accessible insights to every workstream. Below is the list of scenarios where Accion can help your organization.

Building OneLake: Build Data-as-a-Service without your team needing to build it. OneLake will be akin to “OneDrive for Data” by creating a single, unified logical SaaS data lake with no silos through domains.

Scalable Data Processing and Analytics: Utilizes Microsoft Fabric Notebooks to process and analyze large volumes of data using Open Standard - Parquet format in conjunction with OneLake. This enables extraction of valuable insights, detect patterns, and gain a deep understanding of the data.

Real-time Data Streaming and Processing: Use Kusto for enabling real-time data streaming and processing. With the ability to ingest and process data streams from various sources, augmented further by Data Activator, Accion helps to analyze data in real-time, detect anomalies, and trigger immediate actions. Capabilities such as default integration with Power BI, default indexing, and native support for structured / semi-structured / free text data will be utilized for modernizing real time data insights.

Data Pipelines: Accion's Data Pipeline offering combines the power of Azure Data Factory and Power Query - enabling data integration across applications / sources, massive scale data transformation, and multitude of connectors with multi-cloud connectivity. Accion helps to build optimized ETL and ELT Pipelines for adopting data integration modernization changing the way to move from ‘Get Data’ to ‘Query and Prep’ to ‘Orchestrate’.

Advanced Analytics and Machine Learning: Leverage Microsoft Fabric's ML capabilities to deliver data-driven insights through Python Notebooks. Through integration with Azure Machine Learning, Accion helps to perform sophisticated data analysis, build predictive models, and make accurate forecasts.

Secure and Compliant Data Processing: Accion customizes the security and compliance of Industry specific needs for data by utilizing Fabric's robust security features. With built-in encryption, access controls, and integration with Microsoft Entra / Azure Active Directory, sensitive data is safeguarded to meet regulatory requirements.
