It runs online on October 28, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM ET. Atlan co-founder Prukalpa Sankar opens and closes the day. Leaders from AstraZeneca, BNY and Verizon share why they invest in context and what they get from it. Registrants get early access to The AI Context Gap, a new study from MIT Technology Review Insights. Register: https://atlan.com/context-conference/ **Atlan + Microsoft: build AI that knows your business and your data.** Atlan connects with your Microsoft stack, from Fabric and Azure to Power BI and Copilot, to create a shared context layer for your humans, data, and AI. [Book a Demo](https://atlan.com/forms/talk-to-sales-contact/) or [watch the demo](https://atlan.com/live-demo-series-atlan-microsoft-fabric-2026/). ## Where Microsoft fits in the context layer The hero diagram shows the Enterprise Context Layer (AI-ready data, semantics and ontology, agent skills, organised into context repos) between the systems it reads and the agents and tools it serves. Microsoft integrations, each with its docs page: - Agents and tools: [Microsoft Copilot Studio](https://docs.atlan.com/product/capabilities/atlan-ai/how-tos/remote-mcp-overview?client=copilot) (through the Atlan MCP server), [Microsoft Teams](https://docs.atlan.com/product/integrations/collaboration/microsoft-teams) - Systems of semantics: [Microsoft Power BI](https://docs.atlan.com/apps/connectors/business-intelligence/microsoft-power-bi) - Systems of data: [Microsoft Fabric](https://docs.atlan.com/apps/connectors/business-intelligence/microsoft-fabric), [Azure Synapse Analytics](https://docs.atlan.com/apps/connectors/data-warehouses/microsoft-azure-synapse-analytics), [Microsoft SQL Server](https://docs.atlan.com/apps/connectors/database/microsoft-sql-server), [Azure Data Lake Storage](https://docs.atlan.com/product/capabilities/discovery/references/azure-data-lake-storage) - Also shown: Microsoft SharePoint (systems of knowledge), alongside non-Microsoft agents, tools and systems such as Salesforce Agentforce, Claude, OpenAI, Slack, Jira, SAP, Looker, Tableau and Confluence. ## Turn your Microsoft estate into context AI can use - **Semantic models any agent can read.** Every Fabric semantic model, table, and measure lands in Atlan with lineage. Ask an agent for net revenue and it uses the measure Finance certified. - **Context inside Copilot and Teams.** Copilot Studio agents query Atlan through its MCP server. People in Teams share assets, get change alerts, and link a conversation back to the data. - **Lineage and trust, together.** Atlan follows a column from SQL Server, Snowflake, or Databricks through Fabric to the Power BI report, and carries its endorsements and sensitivity labels the whole way. ## Launch partner for Microsoft Fabric Platform Lineage Announced at FabCon Europe 2026. [Read the announcement](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260929365388/en/Atlan-Brings-Governed-Context-to-Microsoft-Fabric-and-OneLake). "AI is only as trustworthy as the context behind it. Microsoft Fabric and OneLake provide a unified data foundation with governance in OneLake Catalog. Atlan's approach to metadata and governance helps customers extend trusted context beyond Fabric and across their entire data ecosystem." - Dipti Borkar, Vice President, Microsoft IQ and OneLake ## Bootstrap, test, and ship context across your Microsoft stack ### Create context: start from what Fabric and Power BI already know Native connectors pull your Microsoft estate into one graph. Context Agents then read it and draft the context your AI needs, for your team to review and certify. - **Connectors for every Fabric tool.** Fabric lakehouses, warehouses, semantic models, and pipelines, plus Power BI, Synapse, SQL Server, ADLS, and Data Factory, in one graph with lineage. - **Semantics.** Context Agents turn Power BI measures and Fabric semantic models into business terms and metric definitions, and flag where two teams define the same metric differently. - **AI-ready data.** Every table and column gets a description, a domain, and a quality score, written from SQL usage and lineage, so agents know which data they can trust. - **Ontology.** The entities your business runs on, and how they relate across Fabric, Power BI, and the rest of your stack, so revenue means the right thing in the right context. ### Test context in real business scenarios Context Engineering Studio treats context like code. It versions it, tests it against the questions your Power BI dashboards already answer, and shows exactly what is missing when a test fails. - **Versioned context repos.** Bounded, domain-scoped units of context with full history, branching, staged rollouts, and rollbacks, the same discipline you apply to application code. - **Auto-generated tests.** Your dashboards and reports are signals for what users will ask. The studio turns them into test questions and compares each answer with the expected one. - **Failure traces.** When a test fails, the studio names the gap, a missing relationship, a synonym it can't resolve, a default filter, and suggests the exact fix. - **Human on the loop.** AI writes the tests, runs them, and proposes fixes. Your domain experts verify and add what only they know. ### Deploy context: one context layer for every agent on Microsoft Certified context reaches every agent through the Atlan MCP server, SQL, and APIs, so Copilot, your analytics agents, and your operational agents give the same answer. - **Copilot Studio.** Connect Copilot Studio to the Atlan MCP server with OAuth or an API key, and agents check what an asset means and whether it is certified before they answer. - **Microsoft Teams.** Share an asset in a chat, get an alert when it changes, and link the conversation back to the asset so the next person finds it. - **Analytics agents.** Agents that answer business questions on Fabric and Power BI data use your certified measures and definitions, not a guess at them. - **Operational agents.** Agents that act inside your workflows read the policies and permissions attached to each asset, so they only touch what they are allowed to.
