What is Data Science in Microsoft Fabric?

You’ve heard that “data is the new gold” for businesses. So, how do you turn raw data into valuable insights? That's where data science comes in. And with Microsoft Fabric, this process becomes even more powerful and accessible. Let’s break down what data science in Microsoft Fabric is all about, and how it can benefit your business.

So, data science with Microsoft Fabric is turning noisy data into valuable insights like reports, statistics, or improved processes.

Data Science Made Simple

Think of data science as a way to make sense of the massive amounts of data your business collects every day. It involves using tools and techniques to analyze this data and uncover patterns, trends, and insights that can help you make better decisions. For example, you could predict when demand for a certain product will surge due to changes in other product’s demand or supply or specific weather conditions. With that insight, you can adapt earlier and adapt your production lines in advance.

Microsoft Fabric takes this a step further by providing a comprehensive platform where all these data science activities can happen seamlessly.

What is the Data Science process?

You’re likely familiar with the typical data science workflow. It’s a well-established method that most machine learning projects adhere to.

At a high level, the process involves these steps:

Problem formulation and ideation.
Data discovery and pre-processing.
Experimentation and modeling.
Enrich and operationalize.
Gain insights.
