The manufacturing sector is undergoing rapid digital transformation, with mid-market organizations increasingly focused on harnessing data to improve efficiency, agility, and competitiveness. To address this shift, Microsoft, Tech Data, and TechGyan hosted the AIReady Manufacturing: From ERP to Insights to Azure Customer Round Table at Microsoft Mumbai.
The round table brought together industry leaders to discuss how ERP modernization, unified data platforms, and AI-powered tools are redefining the future of manufacturing.
Key Themes of the Round Table
1. ERP Migration to Azure – The Foundation for AI
Manufacturers discovered why moving ERP workloads to Azure isn’t just about cost or scalability, it’s about laying the foundation for advanced analytics and AI adoption. Practical migration patterns such as CAF landing zones, Azure Migrate, and SAP on Azure sizing were shared.
2. Unified Data with Microsoft Fabric
Breaking down data silos is critical. With Microsoft Fabric, organizations can unify data from ERP, IoT, and plant systems into a single platform, enabling real-time insights with Power BI Copilot.
3. AI & Copilot in Action
Attendees experienced live demos of Copilot in Fabric, Power BI, and Microsoft 365, showcasing how AI can streamline reporting, automate tasks, and empower decision-making in manufacturing scenarios.
4. Security & Compliance with Microsoft Cloud
With Defender, Entra, and Purview, manufacturers gained clarity on building a security baseline that protects IP, ensures compliance, and safeguards sensitive operational data.
