ANS is proud to announce that it has been recognised by Microsoft as a Fabric Real Time Intelligence Featured Partner. Alongside ANS’ existing status as both a Microsoft Fabric Featured Partner and a Fabric Databases Featured Partner, ANS is now only the third Microsoft Partner in the UK to achieve all three possible Fabric Featured Partner statuses – and only the twenty-first partner globally.
The Real Time Intelligence (RTI) Featured Partner designation is awarded by Microsoft to partners who demonstrate deep technical expertise and successful customer delivery in Real-Time Intelligence workloads within Microsoft Fabric. This includes capabilities across eventstream ingestion, real-time processing and transformation of streaming data, as well as Visualisation and action through Real-Time Dashboards and Activator.
As a result of having all three possible Fabric Featured Partner Statuses, ANS customers can benefit from:
- Accelerated Time to Value – ANS can deliver Fabric-powered solutions in weeks, not months, enabling customers to realise business outcomes faster, including rapid ingestion of key datasets and rollout of initial use cases.
- Unified Data Experience – A single, coherent data ecosystem that spans ingestion, transformation, storage, and reporting – reducing complexity, duplication, and cost.
- Real-Time Decision-Making – With RTI capabilities, ANS enables customers to act on data as it happens, improving responsiveness.
- AI Readiness – Fabric’s architecture supports AI and machine learning workloads, and ANS’s expertise ensures customers are well-positioned to adopt intelligent automation and predictive analytics.
- Scalability & Flexibility – ANS designs Fabric solutions using Microsoft’s medallion architecture, allowing customers to scale their data platforms sustainably and adapt to evolving needs.
- Microsoft-Endorsed Expertise – These designations are backed by Microsoft telemetry and delivery validation, giving customers confidence in ANS’s capability to deliver high-impact, future-ready solutions.
Martin Brierley, Practice Lead: Data & AI at ANS, said, “This is an amazing achievement for ANS. It deepens our partnership with Microsoft and brings us much closer to the product team to be able to shape the future of Fabric. The other two companies in the UK that have gained all three Fabric Featured Partner statuses are global organisations – so to be the third in the UK means ANS is punching well above its weight. It signals that, if you’re a business looking to unlock the value of your data through Fabric, there’s really only one clear choice of digital transformation partner.”
