Microsoft Named a Leader in Data Fabric Platforms. What This Means for You

We’re excited to share some big news from the data and AI world: Microsoft has been recognised as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Data Fabric Platforms, Q4 2025. This recognition is a testament to Microsoft’s vision for a connected, intelligent data ecosystem that empowers businesses to innovate and thrive. 

What is the Forrester Wave and why does it matter? 

The Forrester Wave™ is one of the most respected industry evaluations, analysing vendors based on their strategy, current offering, and market presence. Being named a Leader means Microsoft not only delivers exceptional technology today but also has a clear roadmap for the future. 

Forrester highlighted Microsoft’s ability to: 

  • Unify Data Across Sources: Breaking down silos to create a single, trusted view of your data. 
  • Enable AI-Driven Insights: Leveraging advanced analytics and machine learning for smarter decisions. 
  • Deliver Enterprise-Grade Security and Scalability: Ensuring your data is protected while supporting growth. 

Why Data Fabric platforms are a game-changer 

Modern businesses face a common challenge. Data is everywhere, but insights are hard to find. Data fabric platforms solve this by: 

  • Connecting disparate systems into a cohesive data layer
  • Providing real-time access to governed, high-quality data.

The result? Faster decisions, reduced complexity, and a foundation for innovation.
