Esri announced an expanded collaboration with Microsoft to integrate spatial analytics technology with Fabric , Microsoft’s unified analytics SaaS platform. By integrating Esri technologies, data experts—including analysts, data scientists, engineers, and their executive stakeholders—can seamlessly use Esri’s advanced spatial analytics tools and visualizations within Microsoft Fabric. This results in powerful spatial analytics that can be easily shared across organizational tools such as Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and Esri’s ArcGIS environment.
“With this collaboration, Esri is committed to helping shared customers understand and leverage spatial data to discover insights and make better decisions,” said Jack Dangermond, president of Esri. “We are excited to build on our work with Microsoft and provide our spatial analytics capabilities to data professionals within the Microsoft Fabric.”
The collaboration, which integrates Esri’s ArcGIS with Microsoft Fabric, is now in its private preview phase. The select group includes trusted customers and partners from industries including local government, architecture, engineering and construction, energy, gas, manufacturing, oil, finance, and technology.

Fabric users will have direct access to advanced spatial analysis tools and features, as well as an extensive library of authoritative and curated spatial data.
“As a private preview participant, we are already seeing incredibly impressive performance when working with geospatial data in Fabric,” said Alejandro Vidal, Founder of GIS Routes, a company that builds technology solutions focused on the transportation ecosystem in Latin America. “Fabric was incredibly fast in processing data and producing results. Our team is looking forward to seeing the additional benefits that this collaboration between Microsoft and Esri will offer our organization and our customers.”
