Microsoft Fabric is amazing, and Maestro makes it better.

Managing data is harder than ever. Organizations are dealing with more data from more sources, but outdated tools and scattered systems make it difficult to organize, analyze, and use that data effectively. Many companies struggle with slow processes, unreliable platforms, and a lack of clarity about where their data lives and how it moves. This creates bottlenecks, limits innovation, and makes it nearly impossible to build a strong foundation for AI and automation. 

Neudesic Maestro simplifies this challenge. It’s a lightweight, AI-powered application that works with Microsoft Fabric and other platforms to centralize and streamline data management. By organizing dataflows, automating processes, and improving visibility, Maestro helps businesses get more value from their data while reducing complexity. 

6 data challenges organizations face

Do you feel like your data environment is a mess—too many tools, too little control, and no clear path forward? You’re not alone. According to a Gartner study,  80% of enterprise data is unstructured. Data is often spread across multiple systems, stored in different formats, and managed using a variety of tools. Below are six common data challenges that organizations commonly face: 

• It’s foundation-less. A strong foundation for a modern data platform is not set up to support future AI and automation. 

• It’s messy. Data is often trapped in silos, with different teams using different tools. This fragmentation causes a lack of clarity and even trust in data. 

• It’s unreliable. Older platforms require constant maintenance between upkeep and upgrades to run smoothly. 

• It’s not scalable. As organizations grow, so does the amount of data. However, existing platforms are commonly unable to keep up with both the size and demand of data. 

• It’s not flexible. Legacy tools are often rigid and may support specific functions that do not translate across the rest of the organization. 

• It’s slow. Without the proper processing capabilities or technology, older platforms struggle to meet advanced analytical needs. 

Without a structured, scalable approach to data, organizations face an uphill battle in making confident, data-driven decisions. The absence of automation forces IT teams to handle routine data tasks manually, leading to inefficiencies and wasted resources. Over time, these challenges compound, making it increasingly difficult for businesses to fully leverage their data and stay ahead in a competitive landscape. 

The solution: Neudesic Maestro 

Neudesic Maestro addresses these challenges by providing a centralized platform that simplifies dataflows, enhances visibility, and integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Fabric and other systems. Rather than juggling multiple tools and manual processes, businesses can use Maestro to create a structured, scalable environment built for a modern data platform.  

• It provides a strong foundation. Maestro organizes metadata—the data that describes other data—into a structured system that streamlines how data activities are managed. Instead of manually tracking connections, queries, and processes, Maestro centralizes metadata so that tools like Fabric pipelines and Fabric notebooks can seamlessly connect and execute workflows. With this structured approach, businesses can automate data orchestration, improve efficiency, and scale their analytics capabilities without constantly reworking their infrastructure.

• It provides structure. Maestro breaks down data silos and disorganized workflows by creating a unified data management interface where all teams can access, organize, and track their data in one place. This improves collaboration, increases trust in data, and ensures that decision-makers have access to accurate, up-to-date insights. 

• It provides scalability and flexibility. Maestro reduces the burden of maintaining older data platforms by automating maintenance and optimizing dataflows, allowing businesses to spend less time fixing systems and more time using their data effectively. It also provides a flexible, scalable framework that can grow alongside an organization’s needs, ensuring that data management remains efficient as data volumes increase. 

How Maestro enhances Microsoft Fabric 

Maestro is built to complement Microsoft Fabric, adding new capabilities that make data management even more powerful. It acts as a central hub for metadata—the information that describes your data—so businesses can track where data comes from, how it’s being used, and how it moves through their systems. Plus, it’s integrated with Fabric databases such as the SQL DB to ensure seamless interoperability and compatibility. 

For teams using Fabric, Maestro helps manage data pipelines, connections, and queries in one place. This makes it easier to integrate new data sources, automate routine tasks, and ensure data is always ready for analysis. With Maestro, businesses can streamline their entire data ecosystem while ensuring that their data is always ready for analysis.
