REDLANDS, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 15, 2024 — At its 44th annual User Conference, Esri announced an expanded collaboration with Microsoft to integrate spatial analytics technology with Fabric, Microsoft’s unified analytics SaaS platform. By integrating Esri technologies, data experts—including analysts, data scientists, engineers, and their executive stakeholders—can seamlessly use Esri's advanced spatial analytics tools and visualizations within Microsoft Fabric. This results in powerful spatial analytics easily shared across organizational tools like Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and Esri’s ArcGIS environment.

"With this collaboration, Esri is committed to helping our shared customers understand and leverage spatial data to uncover insights and make better decisions," said Jack Dangermond, Esri president. "We are pleased to deepen our work with Microsoft and provide our spatial analytic capabilities for data professionals within Microsoft Fabric."

The collaboration, which integrates Esri's ArcGIS with Microsoft Fabric, is currently in its private preview phase. Trusted customers and partners are participating in the select group across industries including local government, architecture engineering and construction (AEC), energy, gas, manufacturing, petroleum, financial, and technology.

"This next step in our collaboration will demonstrate how Microsoft Fabric customers are benefitting from powerful spatial analysis technology from Esri to achieve deeper insights for their organizations,” said Amir Netz, Chief Technology Officer of Azure Data at Microsoft.

Fabric users will have direct access to advanced spatial analytics tools and functions, as well as an extensive library of authoritative and curated spatial data.

“As a private preview participant, we are already seeing incredibly impressive performance working with geospatial data in Fabric,” said Alejandro Vidal, founder of GIS Routes, a company creating technology solutions focused on the transportation ecosystem in Latin America. “Fabric was unbelievably fast at processing data and producing results, and our team is looking forward to the additional benefits that this collaboration between Microsoft and Esri will deliver to our organization and our customers.”
