Big, game-changing AI tools like Large Language Models (LLMs) promise to revolutionize business operations. But there’s a catch: how do you securely connect your sensitive business data to these AI powerhouses without opening the floodgates to security risks and compliance nightmares?
That’s where Microsoft Fabric and Azure AI Search come in. By leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and hybrid search, we help businesses break down data silos while keeping everything locked down and secure. RAG ensures AI-generated insights are actually grounded in your real-world data—not just pulled from the ether—so you get smarter, more relevant answers. Hybrid search takes things further, combining multiple search techniques (think keyword matching, AI-driven context, and location-based filtering) to make AI responses even sharper.
At Proactive Technology Management, we specialize in making AI work for your business—without the headaches. Want to see how your data can fuel smarter, more secure AI solutions? Let’s chat. Schedule a call with Michael Weinberger today: https://calendly.com/mweinberger-proactive
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, businesses are increasingly turning to Large Language Models (LLMs) to drive innovation and efficiency.
These advanced AI tools promise transformative benefits, from automating repetitive tasks to generating high-quality content and providing real-time insights.
However, the challenge lies in securely exposing enterprise data to LLMs while ensuring data privacy and compliance.
Businesses often struggle with data silos that hinder real-time analytics and decision-making. These silos prevent organizations from gaining comprehensive insights into their operations and leveraging data for strategic advantage.
At the same time, there is a growing need to expose business data to LLMs to benefit from their transformative capabilities.
However, doing so safely and securely is paramount to protect sensitive information and ensure compliance with data privacy regulations.
At Proactive Technology Management, we understand these challenges and are committed to helping businesses navigate this complex landscape.
Leveraging the Microsoft Fabric Data Platform and Azure SQL endpoints, we provide a seamless and secure way to connect enterprise data to Azure AI Search, creating powerful hybrid search retrieval-augmented generation experiences that drive business transformation while ensuring robust data security.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a powerful technique that combines the generative capabilities of LLMs with precise data retrieval methods.
RAG workflows enhance generative AI outputs by retrieving relevant data from various sources, such as your own business data, and using these data to inform and refine the AI-generated responses.
This “data grounding” ensures that the generated content is both relevant and accurate, tailored to the specific needs of the business.
Hybrid search is a technique that significantly enhances RAG workflows by combining multiple search methods to provide comprehensive and relevant results.
This technique leverages the seamless integration of Microsoft Fabric with Azure AI Search through Azure SQL endpoints.
Defining Hybrid Search: Hybrid search incorporates various search predicates to deliver more nuanced and accurate results. For example, when searching for the best focaccia bread in town, hybrid search can use:
These techniques are combined to provide a more comprehensive search experience, as illustrated in the figure below.
One of the key benefits of Microsoft Fabric is its ability to unify data across multiple sources. By breaking down data silos, Microsoft Fabric allows for real-time data integration and retrieval-augmented text generation with AI.
With Microsoft Fabric, businesses can achieve:
