The new agreement envisages an even closer synergy between AVEVA’s industrial cloud platform, AVEVA Connect, and Microsoft's data analytics solution, Microsoft Fabric, currently in public preview.
Both platforms are designed to streamline data collection, transformation, and unification from various sources, making data more consistent and valuable for downstream applications and preparing it to power AI capabilities.
The combination of Microsoft's end-to-end solutions in the cloud and AVEVA's deep industry expertise and software applications provides businesses with unique capabilities. It allows them to become more agile, resilient, and sustainable by adapting to changing market conditions and customer demands with flexible and scalable solutions. Proactive and predictive analytics can manage and monitor risks, while the efficiency and productivity brought by AI applications can reduce environmental impact and foster social responsibility.
AVEVA Connect’s ability to turn data into insight can greatly enhance businesses' decision-making processes. The platform can create a real-time digital twin that unveils the insights needed to engineer smarter and operate better.
In addition, teams worldwide can all work within a single collaborative cloud environment, with all systems connected so software applications, whether on-premises, in the cloud or a hybrid mix, are easily accessed.
