Design the access path before the agent needs it

| Your agent is exactly as trustworthy as the data path behind it. Microsoft Ignite on November 17–20, 2026, puts agent design back in the context of the systems it depends on—and the access decisions you’ll have to defend later. Three sessions you may want to start with: - Where agents meet analytics: Build with SQL Database in Fabric — Anna Hoffman, Principal Group Product Manager on the Azure Databases engineering team, on governed data access, native vectors, and how agentic applications and analytics connect
- AI-ready data integration with Fabric Data Factory — Vidya Shanmugam and Wee Hyong Tok, Partner Directors of Product Management, on pipelines, mirroring, OneLake integration, and migrating Azure Data Factory workloads to Fabric
- Build an AI-ready data foundation with Microsoft OneLake — a hands-on lab on zero-copy access patterns, available in San Francisco only
Register for Microsoft Ignite online or in person in San Francisco to examine the access decisions behind your agent architecture. |

| Most organizations still treat Copilot as a chat box. Researcher and Analyst are demonstrated in practical business scenarios, followed by a simple framework for deciding when built-in agents are enough and when Cowork or Dynamics 365 agents fit better. Expand intentionally, not arbitrarily. |
