🚀 Customer event and hands-on Real-Time Intelligence with Microsoft Fabric in Fort Lauderdale! 🚀   Big thanks to our clients, Microsoft, and the Slalom Fort Lauderdale team for an energizing event last week at Microsoft’s offices! Together, we dove into Microsoft Fabric, explored the power of Azure Databricks and Snowflake working all together as part of an enterprise data landscape, and highlighted how these platforms are transforming data roles across industries.   The highlight? A hands-on lab that we delivered with Hiram Fleitas León, Scotty Gresham, and Federico Castro on Real-Time Intelligence with Microsoft Fabric—giving our clients a firsthand look at how Fabric accelerates insights and fuels smarter decisions, as well showcase the Real Time Intelligence workload with Eventhouses, KQL Databases, WebEventStreams, RealTime Dashboards, Data Activator, and more.   Proud to be driving data innovation alongside Microsoft!   #MicrosoftFabric #RealTimeIntelligence #DataInnovation #SlalomProud #AzureDatabricks #Snowflake #FortLauderdale

Uncensored Growth, Unfiltered Thoughts: Q3 2024 Outlook As we move into Q3 2024, we’re facing high inflation, rising interest rates, and shifting consumer behaviors. But remember, every challenge brings an opportunity. First, get razor-sharp on cost management. Examine every expense and leverage AI to streamline operations, allowing your team to focus on innovation and critical thinking. Diversifying revenue streams is also crucial—don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Customer relationships are more important than ever. Use AI to personalize experiences and build loyalty. It’s also time to rethink our business models. AI is reshaping the landscape, and staying ahead of the curve is essential. Talent is key. Attracting and retaining top talent, especially in tech, is a must. With AI's rise, ethical governance is vital. Prioritize transparency and accountability. Lastly, with the election year upon us, it’s crucial to stay informed about candidates. Look beyond single-issue voting and consider the overall impact each candidate could have on our businesses and economy. Turn these challenges into opportunities.
