Deployment of Microsoft Fabric

The deployment of Microsoft Fabric as a core IT infrastructure across campus departments presents transformative opportunities for enhancing the university’s operations, research capabilities, and institutional effectiveness. By leveraging Microsoft Fabric’s advanced data analytics, collaboration tools, and resource optimization features, departments can streamline workflows and improve their ability to deliver impactful outcomes. This initiative positions the university as a forward-thinking institution that embraces cutting-edge technology to drive academic and research excellence.

One key example is the RAE Analytics Dashboard.  Developed by the Library, it supports critical processes such as RAE 2026 Selection and Review by providing daily data updates and tailored access for stakeholders. Microsoft Fabric’s robust infrastructure ensures that dashboards like this are scalable, secure, and adaptable to meet diverse access requirements, including differentiated permissions for Office of Research and Knowledge Transfer (ORKT) staff, academic department heads, and faculty members. By fostering efficiency and reliability in data management, the implementation of Microsoft Fabric empowers departments to focus on their core objectives while driving innovation in both academic and administrative domains.
