Semarchy, a global leader in Master Data Management (MDM) and data integration, is announcing an integration between the Semarchy Data Platform and Microsoft Fabric—marking the next major step in their strategic collaboration and unifying master data in Microsoft OneLake, where it can be used at scale across the business through Microsoft Fabric services including Microsoft Power BI, Fabric Data Warehouse and Fabric data agents.
In addition, business critical metadata is populated by Semarchy in Microsoft Purview, enriching users’ ability to find and understand their data.
By bringing together semantic models, enterprise-grade data control, and collaborative design tools, Semarchy and Microsoft are helping teams work smarter with trusted data, speeding up decision-making and unlocking greater business value, according to the companies.
“This collaboration enables Microsoft Power BI dashboards built directly on enriched, trustworthy golden data records in Microsoft OneLake with the depth of context provided by semantic models. Together with Semarchy, we’re giving our customers additional tools to drive value, automate business insights, and push the boundaries of enterprise data analytics," said Dipti Borkar, VP and GM, OneLake and Fabric ISVs, Microsoft.
By enabling access to data products and semantic models within Fabric, the Semarchy Data Platform enables customers to:
- Natively access Semarchy’s mastered data products that include data sets, APIs, metadata, and more from Microsoft Fabric.
- Access high quality data and semantic models through Fabric capabilities such as Power BI, Data Engineering, Data Warehousing, and Real-Time Intelligence.
- Use Purview to quickly find governed data and review key metadata including lineage and more.
- Use DataOps practices to rapidly produce and publish new and enriched data products, through familiar tooling including Microsoft Visual Studio Code, GitHub Copilot, GitHub, and more.
Integrating semantic models with golden data in OneLake makes raw data easily understandable by humans and AI. This fosters a shared understanding across business units, improving trust and alignment in reports and analyses from Power BI, GitHub Copilot, and other tools, the companies said.
The Semarchy Data Platform’s support for DataOps practices and tooling, such as Visual Studio Code, Git integration for version control, and GitHub Copilot helps customers create, share and manage data products in Microsoft Fabric with minimal effort, helping meet the rapid growth in demand for data initiatives.
“I’m excited for this next step in our collaboration with Microsoft. Our integration makes Semarchy Data Platform's enriched golden records and semantic models available in Microsoft Fabric, and available to the rich ecosystem of Microsoft and third-party tools that work with Fabric,” said Sacha Dawes, chief product officer at Semarchy. “This ultimately allows teams and AI to quickly transform data into extensible reports and dashboards through Microsoft Power BI, as well as easily leverage trusted data within data-focused initiatives like AI and Customer 360 initiatives.”
