AI readiness to AI reality: Building an AI roadmap with Microsoft Fabric OneLake and Tessitura data

Artificial Intelligence has moved beyond experimentation. Arts and cultural organizations are now asking a more important question: How do we build the foundation to make AI successful? The answer is not simply purchasing another AI tool. It requires a thoughtful strategy, trusted data, and a modern technology platform that allows organizations to turn information into meaningful insights.

In this fast paced 20 minute session, Double Eagle Consulting will demonstrate how organizations can move from AI readiness to AI execution by combining an organizational AI roadmap with Microsoft's Fabric OneLake platform. We will share how our new Microsoft Fabric environment consumes Tessitura data from Amazon Redshift, creating a unified, secure data foundation that supports analytics, reporting, Copilot, and future AI initiatives.

Attendees will learn why data quality, governance, and architecture are the critical building blocks for successful AI adoption. We will discuss the common challenges organizations face when data exists across multiple systems and how Microsoft Fabric creates a single source of truth that enables faster decision making and reduces the effort required to prepare data for analysis.

The session will also highlight how Tessitura data can be transformed into actionable business intelligence through Power BI dashboards while laying the groundwork for predictive analytics, donor insights, audience segmentation, patron engagement, fundraising, and executive reporting. We will demonstrate how organizations can begin leveraging AI against their trusted data instead of relying on disconnected spreadsheets or manual reporting.

Whether your organization is just beginning its AI journey or is already exploring Microsoft Copilot and other AI technologies, this session will provide a practical roadmap for preparing your people, your data, and your technology for long term success.
