A joint webinar on the data foundation higher education needs for agentic AI — Microsoft Fabric, ontology, and the agents built on top of both.
The Opportunity
Higher education institutions sit on some of the richest, most fragmented data in any industry — student records, research systems, and legacy warehouses that rarely talk to each other. Most AI pilots on campus stall right there, not because the model is weak, but because the data underneath it has no shared shape.
This session is for the data and IT leaders who are past the pilot stage and need a real foundation: a unified platform to modernize on, a semantic layer that makes that data legible to machines, and governed agents that turn both into something your staff and faculty can actually put to work.
Why Attend
Less theory, more of what your institution can act on Monday morning.
A clear view of what to prioritize first when moving off fragmented SIS/ERP/CRM systems onto a unified platform like Microsoft Fabric — sequenced, not theoretical.
A practical grasp of why a shared semantic model is what actually lets an AI agent reason over your data — and why skipping it is why most pilots stall.
A live look at CampusMind.ai working in real higher-education environments — proof this works outside a slide deck.
How Microsoft Purview classifies and governs FERPA-sensitive student and financial data — discovery, sensitivity labels, access policies, and audit trail — before any agent is allowed to touch it.
Optional 1:1 office hours with CampusMind.ai and Microsoft to scope what modernization would look like for your specific systems — no generic follow-up.
Reference points from institutions already running this stack, so you're evaluating a track record instead of a projection.
Program
A simple, practical program focused on the opportunity, lessons from higher-education leaders, and CampusMind.ai in action.
A brief introduction to the higher-education opportunity and how a unified, governed data foundation can help institutions put AI agents to work.
Higher-education and technology leaders discuss practical use cases, data readiness, governance, adoption, and the lessons institutions should consider as they move from pilots to real outcomes.
A live demonstration of how CampusMind.ai uses Microsoft Fabric IQ to understand institutional data and business context, a Fabric Data Agent to deliver trusted answers from the university’s OneLake data foundation, and Azure AI Foundry to securely build, govern, and orchestrate AI agents that surface insights and support staff and student workflows.
