Microsoft on Monday announced its acquisition of Osmos, a move toward streamlining data engineering in its analytics platform, Microsoft Fabric. Fabric is designed to support end-to-end data workflows, and the integration of Osmos will help simplify complex and time-consuming tasks, such as data ingestion, analytics and reporting.
Osmos will implement its agentic AI solutions within OneLake, Fabric’s core data lake, to transform raw data into assets ready for analytics and AI. Osmos’ product suite leverages machine learning to help organizations ingest more varied data at a faster pace, enabling teams to rely less on human effort and more on agentic automation.
The company’s first wave of products was built natively within Microsoft Fabric, geared toward autonomous ingestion, transformation and schema evolution. By integrating its tech and workforce into Microsoft’s Fabric engineering organization, Osmos will be able to accelerate its product development and deliver its solutions to a broader audience.
“This acquisition builds on Microsoft Fabric’s goal to enable customers to unify all data and analytics into a single, secure platform,” Bogdan Crivat, corporate VP of Azure Data Analytics, said in a company blog. “With the acquisition of Osmos, we are taking the next step toward a future where autonomous AI agents work alongside people — helping reduce operational overhead and making it easier for customers to connect, prepare, analyze and share data across the organization.”
