Quantexa has launched a public preview of its new Unify Workload to provide enterprises with advanced, artificial intelligence-powered entity resolution and data-matching capabilities within Microsoft Fabric.
The solution, which was previewed at Microsoft Ignite in Chicago, USA, allows organisations to use capabilities in Quantexa’s Decision Intelligence Platform to create an enterprise data estate with a unified, interconnected view of their data.
Organisations can use Quantexa Unify to automatically identify, match and consolidate records of the same entities – such as people, contacts and locations – from multiple sources, entirely from within Microsoft Fabric and despite any inconsistencies or errors.
“Our AI-powered workload for Microsoft Fabric will transform how organisations achieve data readiness to maximise their generative AI investments,” said Dan Higgins, chief product officer at Quantexa. “This powerful integration helps organisations create the foundation for augmented decision-making by resolving complex entity relationships using external and internal data sources with speed and precision. By tapping into the scalability and flexibility of Microsoft Fabric, we are empowering businesses to drive innovation and harness the full potential of their data like never before.”
Quantexa introduces an AI-powered workload for Microsoft Fabric to transform data quality and usability across the enterprise
Quantexa Unify reads data directly from OneLake and automatically cleans, analyses and normalises the data sources. It then performs sophisticated data matching to produce a connected view of the data in OneLake. Preconfigured templates allow users to define the level of match quality required. The workload runs directly within Microsoft Fabric and writes the results back to OneLake.
This enables organisations to develop an enterprise-wide data estate that’s continually refreshed with trusted data. This data estate can be integrated into Microsoft’s full suite of data, analytics and business productivity services, as well as fed into privately built and trained AI models. It can also provide organisations with a connected, contextual view as a knowledge graph to unlock advanced graph-based analytics. In addition, it can be used in conjunction with Copilot Studio and Azure OpenAI to augment or automate decision-making and drive innovation.
“As customers increasingly rely on Microsoft Fabric to accelerate their digital transformation, this capability will allow them to gain deeper insights they expect from their data investments, all within a trusted enterprise-wide data estate,” said Amir Netz, technical fellow and chief technology officer for Microsoft Fabric. “We look forward to continuing to collaborate with Quantexa to help our customers unlock new opportunities and drive confidence in their AI and data-driven initiatives.”
Novo Banco, a financial institution headquartered in Portugal, had access to an early private preview of Quantexa Unify. It intends to build an enterprise-wide data estate with Quantexa and Microsoft.
“Understanding customer behaviour through a comprehensive data view lets banks personalise communications and services, fostering stronger client relationships, and simultaneously protecting them and the bank with a single investment,” said Seamus Murphy, chief operating officer at Novo Banco. “An enterprise-wide data estate is the future of effective data operationalisation in banking. Quantexa’s Unify for Microsoft Fabric will be the foundation for us to dismantle organisational and data silos, enabling advanced analytics, efficiency using AI, and better customer service.”
