This innovative workload enables data engineers, data scientists, analysts, and business users to effortlessly connect and continuously update data from multiple sources entirely within Microsoft Fabric. With the Quantexa Unify workload, organizations can automatically identify, match, and consolidate records of the same entities--like people, businesses, locations and contacts--despite any inconsistencies or errors.

Creating A Trusted Data Foundation for Analytics and Generative AI
Quantexa Unify reads data directly from OneLake, automates cleansing, parsing and normalization of data sources, then performs sophisticated data matching to produce a connected view of the data in OneLake. Quantexa Unify provides preconfigured matching templates, allowing users to define the level of match quality required. Microsoft Power BI reports are delivered to highlight data quality metrics and issues. The workload runs directly within Microsoft Fabric and writes the results back out to OneLake for wider use.

The result is an enterprise-wide data estate that is continually refreshed with trusted data that:

• Can be seamlessly integrated into Microsoft’s full suite of data, analytics and business productivity services.  
• Maximizes business intelligence capabilities.
• Provides a connected, contextual view as a knowledge graph to unlock advanced graph-based analytics.
• Can be fed into privately built and trained AI models.
• Can be used as a powerful asset in conjunction with Copilot Studio and Azure OpenAI to augment or automate decision-making and spur innovation.

Key capabilities of Quantexa Unify

• No-Code, Automated Data Mapping: The workload can be configured with your own data model, which simplifies and accelerates the process of mapping data fields among different systems or data sources using a visual interface.
• Advanced Entity Matching: Using out-of-the-box configurations and machine learning, the workload performs high-quality matching across entity types, linking records and enriching incomplete data.
• Contextualized Insights: Uncover significant connections, reveal hidden relationships, and produce knowledge graphs.

Leverage the results from Quantexa Unify in Microsoft’s full suite of analytical tools, including Microsoft Copilot.

Novo Banco Joins Private Preview
In addition to the public preview, which allows customers to experience Quantexa Unify with publicly available data sets, Quantexa also disclosed they have opened a private preview for customers ready to deploy Quantexa Unify. Today at Microsoft Ignite, Novo Banco, an early private preview participant and a prominent financial institution headquartered in Portugal, serving individual and corporate clients, with digital transformation ambitions that include extending the banks offerings throughout Europe, disclosed its intention to build an enterprise-wide data estate with Quantexa and Microsoft.

Seamus Murphy, Chief Operating Officer at Novo Banco, stated: “Understanding customer behavior through a comprehensive data view lets banks personalize communications and services, fostering stronger client relationships, and simultaneously protecting them and the bank with a single investment.
The current trend of creating vertical solutions is not cost effective and does not create the intended business impact. An enterprise-wide data estate is the future of effective data operationalization in banking. Quantexa’s Unify for Microsoft Fabric will be the foundation for us to dismantle organizational and data silos, enabling advanced analytics, efficiency using AI, and better customer service.”
