Microsoft has opened a new front in the AI data wars, blocking partners from connecting their data management tools to a popular product as it tries to defend its business software strength in the era of AI agents.
The friction centers on Power BI, a Microsoft product nearly all Fortune 500 firms use to analyze data about their operations in charts and other visual formats. Databricks, a longtime Microsoft partner that sells tools for managing data and building AI applications, in early March began testing a new feature that makes it easier for its customers to connect information on its platform to such visualization tools.
