From Off-Limits To AI-Ready: Preparing Unstructured Data Directly In Microsoft Fabric With Tonic Textual
Security Boulevard, Friday, March 27th, 2026
AI teams need to move quickly, but the reality is that most of the data they need simply isn't ready for AI. In fact, Gartner predicts that through 2026, 60 % of AI projects will be abandoned because they lack AI-ready data.
Across the enterprise, the most valuable inputs for AI live in unstructured text - notes, support tickets, contracts, call transcripts, internal documentation, and customer communications all contain rich signals models need to learn from. Yet this data is frequently off-limits because it embeds sensitive information that jeopardizes compliance or violates internal privacy policies.
Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Tonic Textual on Microsoft Fabric, giving teams a secure, Fabric-native way to detect, de-identify, and prepare unstructured text data for AI development.
