What Is ArcGIS for Microsoft Fabric?
ArcGIS for Microsoft Fabric integrates mapping and spatial analytics directly into the Microsoft Fabric environment, allowing you to integrate asset locations and surrounding conditions into analytic workflows. This integration helps you uncover new strategic sites or markets, optimize operations, and monitor and mitigate risks—all without moving data between systems or learning complex new tools.
ArcGIS for Microsoft Fabric comprises three powerful integrations that can be used independently or combined to integrate, transform, enrich, and analyze location data at any scale, and then visualize, explore, and share location insights through interactive maps and BI reports.
Discover these integrations in action through our a live demonstration using Houston 311 service request data
