Title: Real-Time Insights
Meta Description: Discover how Smart Launch’s AI-driven platform delivers real-time insights for drug launch monitoring, surpassing standard streaming solutions like Microsoft Fabric.
Launching a new drug is like setting sail into uncharted waters. Market conditions shift, competitor moves are sudden, and you can’t afford to navigate blind. That’s where Real-Time Insights come in. In this post, we’ll pit Microsoft Fabric’s Real-Time Intelligence against Smart Launch’s AI-powered platform, showing you why the latter is tailor-made for pharmaceutical success.
Microsoft Fabric: The Baseline for Real-Time Intelligence
Microsoft Fabric offers a broad suite of tools under its Real-Time Intelligence umbrella. Its goal? To turn streaming data into actionable intelligence across industries.
Core Capabilities
- Data Ingestion & Transformation
Connect to Azure Event Hubs, IoT Hub, CDC feeds and more via no-code connectors. - Event Processing
Filter, cleanse, aggregate and route high-volume events through Eventstreams. - Analytics & Storage
Store time-based data in Eventhouses, indexed for flash-fast querying. - Visualization
Real-Time dashboards, Power BI reports and dynamic maps reveal patterns in seconds. - Trigger-Based Actions
Fabric Activator sets alerts, launches pipelines, or fires off Power Automate workflows.
Strengths
- Scales from gigabytes to petabytes.
- Integrates with OneLake, Power BI, Notebooks.
- No-code and code-first options cater to both citizen data scientists and engineers.
- Built-in governance, security and compliance.
“You get an end-to-end solution for event-driven scenarios—everything from ingestion to modelling to alerting.”
But as powerful as this is, generic real-time platforms can leave pharma teams wanting more.
The Limitations of Generic Streaming Solutions in Pharma
Even the best streaming engine has gaps when it comes to drug launches:
- Lack of Domain Intelligence
Generic dashboards don’t know your product, your competitors or regulatory hurdles. - Fragmented Competitive Data
You must stitch together market reports, sales forecasts and social sentiment manually. - Risk of Data Overload
Flooded with streams, you struggle to prioritise the signals that matter. - Technical Complexity
Engineers set up pipelines—your marketing and medical affairs teams wait on IT. - Limited Predictive Power
Out-of-the-box alerts rely on fixed thresholds, not machine learning risk assessments.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by dashboards that “do it all” but don’t speak your language, you’re not alone.
