It includes an attestation of adherence to standards in areas such as functional compatibility, security, performance, reliability, supportability, and legal compliance. Additionally, an attestation checklist is included to provide further details regarding each requirement and identify any exceptions, variances, or specific notes. ## Key Terms Defined Vendor / Independent Software Vendor (ISV) / Partner: The company or individual responsible for developing, distributing, and maintaining the workload using Microsoft Fabric’s Workload Development Kit. Vendors may also provide value-added services, support, or integration solutions to extend the capabilities of Microsoft workloads and assist customers in their deployment and management. In this document, the vendor attests to their compliance with the requirements defined by Microsoft. Customer: The end user or organization that uses the workload developed by the vendor. Customers benefit from the functionalities provided by the workload, and their needs drive the requirements for reliability, performance, and supportability. Workload: A software component or solution designed to perform specific tasks on the Microsoft Fabric platform. Workloads typically interact with various services and require compatibility, reliability, and security measures to ensure seamless operation. Microsoft Fabric Workload Development Kit (WDK): A toolkit provided by Microsoft that includes tools, guidelines, and best practices for developing and publishing workloads to run efficiently on the Microsoft Fabric platform. Publish Workload Requirements: A set of requirements and standards specified by Microsoft that each workload must meet to be published and deployed within the Microsoft environment. These requirements include functional, security, performance, and compliance standards. The document serves as an assurance from vendors to Microsoft and its Customers, ensuring that all requirements are met for the safe and efficient operation of workloads within the Microsoft ecosystem. The appendix allows vendors to provide detailed information about each requirement, specifying whether it's supported, and detailing any exceptions or additional information for clarity. ## Process The document is composed of three sections. All sections are to be provided to Microsoft as Vendor’s formal attestation, while ONLY Section III, which details all of the specifics on the attestation are to be hosted on the partners website for customers to reference. Microsoft must be notified promptly prior to releasing any changes if the changes materially impact the attestation especially regarding security, compliance, privacy and/or if the change has significant variance from the design / UX guidelines. ## Section I ## ISV Information ### Vendor Information | Name | Value | | ---------------- | -------------------------- | | Company Name: | MAQ Software | | Company Website: | | | Address: | 2027 152nd Ave NE | | City: | Redmond | | State: | WA | | Postal Code: | 98052 | | Country: | United States | | Phone: | | ### Primary Contact | Name | Value | | ------ | --------------------------------- | | Name: | Anuben Patel | | Title: | Software Data Operations Engineer | | Email: | | ## Section II ## Attestation To: Microsoft Corporation Subject: Vendor Self-Attestation for Compliance with Microsoft Workload Development Requirements We, the undersigned, MAQ Software, hereby confirm and attest that we have reviewed, understood, and complied with all applicable requirements as outlined in the Microsoft Extensibility toolkit documentation, specifically the [Publish Workload Requirements](https://github.com/MAQGitBook/LoadFAST/blob/main/resources/publishing-requirements-workload/README.md). ## Section III ### Publish Workload Requirements Attestation Checklist We, the vendor, MAQ Software, confirm and attest to reviewing, meeting, and complying with the requirements outlined in the Microsoft Fabric Extensibility Toolkit specifically the [Publish Workload Requirements](https://github.com/MAQGitBook/LoadFAST/blob/main/resources/publishing-requirements-workload/README.md) The following sections documents details, exceptions, or variances regarding the attestation of adherence to the Publish Workload Requirements. ### Workload Information | Name | Value | | ---------------- | ---------------------------- | | Workload Version | 1.1.1 | | Workload Name | MAQSoftware LoadFAST | | Release Date | | | {{workloadName}} | {{MAQSoftware.LoadFAST}} | | Product | MAQSoftware.LoadFAST.Product | #### Business Requirements **Value To Customers** The LoadFAST workload provides the following value to customers: * Optimizes Power BI environments for greater efficiency and lower costs through an automated, web-based toolkit. * Reduces manual effort and complexity in Power BI performance optimization. * Provides quick, accurate results through a streamlined, three-step analysis process. * Enhances Power BI performance and load times via intelligent analysis and optimization recommendations. **Trial** We provide an easy and fast trial experience.
