For a successful company, you need to base your decision-making on real company data. With Power BI, the ability to make quick, insight-based decisions increases. Microsoft currently dominates the Business Intelligence market due to its ease of use, price, and integration with other Microsoft products.
What is Microsoft Power BI?
Power BI is Microsoft's Business Intelligence solution that offers an analytics service, providing business insights that enable rapid and sustained decisions.
It is a cross-platform tool, comprising a collection of software services, applications, and connectors that work together to transform unrelated data sources into coherent, visually engaging, and interactive information.
In practice, Power BI is able to convert raw data into dashboards, so that data can be analyzed more efficiently, trends and patterns can be detected, and insights can be gained to improve business decision-making.
Benefits of Microsoft Power BI
As data is uploaded, the dashboard displays the new information as the data is updated several times a day. This allows staff the ability to solve problems quickly, identify opportunities and deal with situations more efficiently.
With Power BI, you can access reports and dashboards anywhere and on any device, as long as you have an internet connection!
- Integrated with Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Power BI has several AI-integrated features that take data analysis to the next level, allowing you to create machine learning models and quickly find insights from structured and unstructured data, including text and images.
Power BI provides several plans to adapt to the needs of each business so that each company invests only what is necessary taking into account its reality. In addition, there is a free version.
- Native integration with Microsoft 365 applications
Power BI integrates seamlessly with all Microsoft products, such as Dynamics 365, Excel, and
Azure. This allows you to connect all types of data for analysis and reporting.
- Customized dashboards and interactive reports
Power BI allows you to create dashboards that can be customized according to your business requirements. Also, thanks to the easy drag-and-drop functionality, you can quickly generate customized reports.
With Power BI, users can share content with different teams within a company, promoting collaboration.
