Is there a better way to describe latest in AI and data innovation? This year’s Ignite is transforming into something new, and recently characterized by Copilot AI, Power Platform, and a reaffirmed focus on Data & AI Services. with Power Platform updates in November 2024, here is a brief overview:

Copilot Enhancements: At the Core AI

Microsoft is further immersing Copilot AI within its ecosystem. In Office 365, Azure, Dynamics 365, everywhere, Copilot’s capabilities are now extending to support workflows that are hyper-personalized, which is AI-supported decision making and automation power as new gates are unleashed. Building on natural language intelligence, Copilot turns the tactical tasks into strategic opportunities for innovation.

Power Platform: A Whole New World for Citizen Developers

These changes have transformed the Power Platform into a low/no code user paradise. ValueEventListener for.NET offers another way to create expressions with the same powerful functionality that you are used to. But with a different approach (IEnumerable instead of Expression). Better still, the platform now contains enhanced AI Builder tools and prebuilt solutions to help companies start using AI without that complex blend of technical skill.

When these capabilities are tied to /data modernization/initiatives, they turbocharge them, enabling data unification across different environments and expertise, and turning these insights into something actionable. In short, for organizations seriously invested in IoT and Advanced Analytics, these updates open up endless opportunities for real-time insights and innovation.

Innovations with Data in Driving Seat: Azure Leading from the Front

So Azure’s announcements are very much in line with a AI that still needs data. So maybe it isn’t super sexy, but the new data governance features and AI-driven analytic tools all point to Microsoft’s primary focus: helping to make data an organization’s most important asset. This is very much on target with the current offerings like Azure Cosmos DB.

Leading with a view to the Future: Where do we go from here?

Microsoft Ignite 2024 showed that the trends towards responsible AI are growing and that AI will only become more intertwined with IoT, edge computing and real-time analytics. The launch of AI-augmented developer tools and the advanced Copilot configuration hints at a world where AI doesn’t just assist but leads.

We’re thrilled at the opportunity to understand how these advances could help businesses succeed in this new age of tech. When you have a Custom Data Machine to AI, in addition to advanced AI tools such as Copilot, it’s a game changer for Large, Medium and sometimes, Small organizations; what it helps you build is an Infinitely Scalable Processor. Which in turn would mean no Finite Processor on Earth would surpass or even get ahead of it in any way.
