Overview: On July 28th, Microsoft announced the general availability of Planning in Microsoft Fabric IQ which brings enterprise planning directly into Microsoft Fabric and unifies analytics, planning, and decision making on a single trusted data foundation. This session will provide an overview of Fabric Planning with live DEMOs and explore the three key pillars of the offering, including: Planning – for no-code, self-service enterprise planning use cases; Data Management (using PowerTable) - for building reference data apps; and Intelligence – for integrated plan vs. actual reporting and more.

He works with Microsoft, partners, and customers to educate their teams on that content.
