What is Microsoft Power BI?
Microsoft Power BI has continued to progress into a leading Business Intelligence and Analytics tool that forward-thinking organizations are beginning to leverage as their primary reporting and analytics tool. Power BI is a powerful tool in the hands of businesses that want to extract and convert data from multiple disparate sources in order to obtain meaningful insights. It offers unprecedented user experience with interactive visualization opportunities along with true self-service analytics capabilities. This provides organizations with an amazing opportunity to look at the data from a variety of perspectives and allow users to pull out meaningful insights without having to rely on IT support to build and administer those reports for the end users. Power BI is truly a tool that all business users can leverage. Some of the unique Power BI benefits are:
- Powerful dashboard graphs and visualizations that are being continuously updated.
- In-memory analytics feature and columnar database supporting tabular data.
- The best of both worlds when it comes to ease-of-use and performance in a single BI tool.
- Interactive geo-mapping with by Bing Maps. Now you can build out maps that display sales by specific territories, zip codes, counties, or any other geo-location specific data that your organization would like to use.
- Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) scripting for creating measures and columns. This scripting language allows for business analysts to build out reports that meet all the needs of the organization.
