Microsoft has joined Apache Ossie, a software industry group aimed at making it easier for AI tools to access data from applications and databases. This move comes four months after Microsoft blocked partners from connecting their data management tools to Power BI, a decision that drew criticism. Microsoft's earlier action was seen as protecting its own data management product, Fabric, at the expense of rivals like Databricks and Snowflake. The company's decision to join Apache Ossie marks a shift in its approach to data access.
